[Dear Christian,We are traveling with the GB Buggies from the UK to IBW 2017 in OsnabrückMy Name is:]

The International Buggy Weekend (IBW2017) is being held this year in Osnabruk, Germany  (49219 Glandorf to be precise)

Not only a fantastic weekend of several hundred Buggies from around Europe, but for us lot from the UK, a truly epic Road Trip !
Newbies are most definitely welcome here, and for a quick taste of what you can expect, take a look here at one of my previous trips:

http://www.beachbuggy.info/index.php/topic,6984.0.html

Most of us will be traveling in Convoy from various routes around the country (details to follow) with the aim of catching the overnight Ferry from Harwich to the Hook of Holland, and then driving approx 200 miles across to Germany. Because its a Bank Holiday weekend, its very important to book the Ferry at your earliest opportunity, as its going to get very busy. Overnight Cabin is mandatory, and also gives us a nice rest.

Previous IBW events have included a "meal deal" ticket option that covers breakfast and tea each day we are there - meaning you don`t have to worry about packing the Buggy with food (more space for Beer) - As soon as I have details of these, I will post them here.

Come and join us for the trip of a lifetime !!

Hosted this year by Buggy Club Osnabruk     www.buggyclub-os.de

Of course I didn't read the email bit! Rang him and got my name down . He says he hopes to have the booking set up by tomorrow.

Can't wait for my first IBW as a newbie. Will be working on the Buggy from now till then - not for concours stuff but reliability - hopefully!!

Dave thanks for arranging all this and so clearly setting it out. I have emailed Paul N and noted that all I have to do is get to the red dot marked '11.30' on June 1st that looks suspiciously like Mr & Mrs Snoopys.

Just hoping that they are coming, else there will be a few of us meeting on their driveway 

Once you have booked your ferry, if you can give me a rough indication of where you plan to meet up, I can add you to the cruise route

And that way we all know who to look out and wait for, before setting off


If anyone has a different start point for their area, let me know and I will add it to the list   

Just mailed Paul
Wil meet you at Colchester as usual

Thanks for arranging this Dave
