Hey Everyone,

4th year?? Yeah 4th year!! But I though we just had our 3rd year anniversary?? Yup we did

One thing I learned this year is that when things get crammed, organizing these things is one of the first things out the door. We had a real nice plan laid out this year and it didn't happen. So I was talking with Banpei before this years Barbecue and we decided that next year, we'd start planning things early!

We're sticking with the idea we had for this year, 1st it just sounded like a great idea to begin with, 2nd its the only viable idea we have to bring a large group of hachi owners from NL, Germany and Belgium together.

So whats the idea? Well simple, we head out for a weekend to the only place on earth where these three countries meet. Vaals
Besides having some great scenery around with really nice roads for our hachis (the only 'mountains' in Hollands ) there are plenty of nice places to stay.
The idea is to meet up during the day on a Saturday. Have a bit of a drive around Vaals, check out the "3 landen punt" stay there for a little while just chatting and admiring each others cars, and finally head out to a camping site nearby for the annual barbecue.

For those people who've stayed till Sunday we're thinking of driving on to the Nurburgring and have some fun there before heading home again. Its a 'short' drive from Vaals to the ring so.

When? Well in a years time actually. We're shooting for early September.

So why this early announcement? Well first of all, cause we want as many people to come as possible so make sure you reserve some time for September. We'll also like to gather a picture of the number of people we can expect so we can take that into account with the program and the accommodations.

Second of all, I really want to try and find some volunteers to help out organizing. We won't start looking for a camping site and such until sometime early next year but it would be nice if people would let me know in advance they will want to help out. We're going to need someone who is willing to spend a day or two driving around Vaals finding a camping site suitable for our needs, we'll need someone to find a nice route we can drive (I have an old DeLorean event day route somewhere we can use as a base), we'll off course need some people who'll want to get all the stuff for the barbecue (I hate asking the Doc all the time all though he seems to find it an honor ).
