Champagne meet 2017 pictures and reports

[Hotel California]

Kicking this post back alive as we visited the Nowack site just last weekend .

I spoke with the owners and as i expected they would be happy to have us back as a group for a weekend .

We where there all by ourselves over the weekend and even fall is a great time to take a walk in the vineyards


I added a poll above , as @Jabberwocky suggested in the latest post now almost 10months ago...

Would love to hear witch month will suit you guys best to come over to France for a weekend or longer...please only fill in the poll if you are serious considering to join as just filling in the poll for fun would give a wrong result and maybe turning out that i set up a date witch suits less people.
Note that the fact may is missing out is due there are some hollidays in may and that the site is allready busy .Also easter periode is a no-go .
Here the link to the original post that announced the 2017 meet to give an idea what to expect.

Currently we could do June after the first weekend...September is again good..

 

[Amarillo]

We’d come in late September if we can find someone to live in with the boys while we are away.

Sadly I don't think we'll be able to make it, sadly, due to other commitments (mainly mountain bike racing in the Rockies!). Another year maybe

For us it will depend on brex it as it looks like the pet passport scheme is changing for the worse where our pouches will need blood test before each journey abroad, obviously nothing is decided yet but it's not looking good

Looking forward to a new meet!
30/5-4/6?
8-11/6?

 

[El Greco]

September would suit us best as spring/summer may be difficult.

 

[Trebor]

Walked up to Chatillon-sur-Marne and visited the pope statute.

Is this going to be March?

Exact 3y ago this day we had this meet , planning to visit them again in a few days as we are in the region .
It was such a plesant meet were we first got to meet some nice folks like @Kmann , @Jabberwocky , @El Greco , @Sad , @Niborn , @Amarillo (during this european trip!) ...i say hi to everyone who was there ! Also the names i forgot
I might check with the owner how he feels about doing it again ?

Ooo......yes please.

This was our first club meet and we had such a great time and met many nice folks. We'd love to return and do it again.

 

[El Greco]

Wim, I hope that all three of you are keeping well.
It was an excellent, well organised meeting. Our first trip to Europe in the campervan.
You have our gratitude and hope we can repeat when times are better.

 

[Kmann]

Such a nice meet. Miss you all hoping world will change so we can meet again

 

[Niborn]

It was fun and a great crowd too... How about something along the same lines but in the dry and sunny South, perhaps at a famous Vineyard?

 

[Kmann]

Such a nice meet. Miss you all hoping world will change so we can meet again

We greatly enjoyed it too and learnt a lot about using our camper. Picture of the hailstorm below. We would certainly go to another meet in France. This one was really well organised by Wim.

OK … if it wasn't because I already had a glass too much, I would be about packing the Cali - really tempted to come by. ENJOY!
