International Buggy Weekend 2016 dates have been confirmed as May 13th / 14th / 15th / 16th 2016    Book them in your diary now   


The International Buggy Weekend (IBW) is being held this year in Dusseldorf, Germany

Tüv Gelände Neuss
Derendorf Weg, 41460 Neuss,
Germany

This is a fantastic weekend of several hundred Buggies from around Europe, and for those of us traveling from the UK, a truly epic road trip that just should not be missed. If you are a Newbie on here, you are most definitely welcome to join us and for a quick taster of what can be expected over the trip, take a look here at last years trip:

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 down to Germany. Because its a Bank Holiday weekend in Europe, 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.


As more details emerge, I will pop them here on page 1 of this thread

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

It is essential to register who is going and if you want to take advantage of their inclusive meal deals, so that we get allocated enough space and food over the weekend.

I cannot fathom out how their registration form actually works, so would suggest to send an email to

tschmiedy@aol.com   with the following information

Name:
Address:
Town:
Postal Code:
Country:
Email Address:
Phone Number / Fax Number:

I have also agreed with the organisers that we can pay on the gate as in previous years, else currency conversion gets a bit expensive.

Have had a word with Sandra... She's pumped up over the idea. Not going to hype it up too much as letting anyone down is a taboo subject with us 

Don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the Nurburgring is only 174 klicks south of this venue on main roads, now that would be a sight.

Cannot find a picture of a beach buggy on this circuit, could this be an opportunity

With plenty of time before the date, could this be possible with a bit of planning

Not quite on the circuit but at the circuit. 



Last time IBW was in Belgium a few of us carried onto Nurburgring for 3 days.

On their website it said they were public days but when we got there they had hired the ring out to rich kids in dads supercars and then Audi....











All in all a great trip though.

Also last time in Dusseldorf their cruise ended up with a photo opportunity on the banks of the Rhine...

That's me on the front row too
