Dear Friends,

I know PagodaFest Chicago 2023 was a big success and is only just behind us. Many of us also still fondly remember the 60th anniversary in Nuremberg. However, many people remarked that we should not skip our bi-annual European Event.

So we have block-reserved rooms for 30 cars (60 people) in the Parc Hotel Alvisse in Luxembourg. A 4 star hotel with parking, spa facilities and availability of private function rooms for our group.

The dates we have chosen are: arrival Thursday 26th Sep 2024, departure Sunday 29th Sep 2024. The traditional weekend we have been using for the last few years. Now Luxembourg is a little north of the places we visited the last few events, but the weather in that weekend has been very nice: not too hot but still sunny. However, we cannot guarantee no rain.

Luxembourg is very central in Europe, easy to reach from most countries in a 1 or 2 day trip. It offers beautiful roads, sightseeing and possible excursions into the Eiffel or the Alsace area. And, also important: Luxembourg offers the lowest prices in Europe for that exclusive but essential amenity: 98 Super petrol.

The organisers shall plan excursions, routes, and other practicalities. Expect some beautiful roads, views and challenging navigation exercises… Depending on the number of participants we may or may not plan group lunches. Anyway, reserve your place and we will keep you informed.

Note: to reserve your place, you need to pay a € 500 downpayment (expected to be a little less than half the total cost) to Peter van Es, IBAN NL31 INGB 0005391304, BIC: INGBNL2A.
Alternatively, pay that amount to my PayPal account: vanesp@escurio.com but do ensure you cover all costs, so that I receive the full € 500. At the same time send me a mail with your and your co-driver’s details.

You will be able to cancel (and receive a full refund) up until 30th of March 2024. After that date cancellation will only be possible at a cost or if we can use your place for someone else. Note: as always, priority will be given to Full Members of the Group.

Full details will be published in due course.

Any members coming from Italy or Switzerland? I would like to partecipate but is quite long journey for me . I could take the ship to GENOVA but from there to Luxembourg is still 860km.

Hopefully Peter March will come loaded with prosciutto, salami, Parmesan and wine. He’s in Merano

mauro12 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2023, 10:36:54 »

Is it possible also to attend without car ?

Peter van Es · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2023, 10:44:50 »

You could get a rental car locally or find a member who needs a co-driver... besides, for the European events in Nice, Meran, Austria quite a few members drove more than 1000 km's there and back... it's a great way to get to know your car!
