There's not been much mentioned here on the club for next years Viva Italia so just to let people know the date has been set for the 28th April, my ferry is booked so fingers crossed for some good weather again.

https://www.viva-italia.nl/

I'm sure closer the time Rene will post club details and discount codes.

As always... well, apart from last time. Ill be on for the jolly, ferry booked
Look forwards to seeing all there and buying something italian to take..

IM booked to go!

I will let you guys know as soon as possible , keep you posted. Mir and i looking forward to this. you`re most welcome.

The 28th of April 2019 Viva Italia is on the agenda, and I will like to invite you to come over.
I have reserved 35 spots on the paddock and also a paddock tent.
We will get a paddock code like the years before , so you can purchase your club entree tickets with a discount only when ordered online.
Here the link : https://www.viva-italia.nl/
The discount is 5,-euro max 2 per car for 10 ,- euro per ticket ,on the track 15,- euro per ticket
The code I will send to the contenders as a pdf file, you have to print out the paddock ticket , and put it in sight behind the windscreen the day of the event when you going on the paddock.
The club entree ticket you don`t need to print out , download it on your mobile so they can scan it , no screenshot/photo , that wouldn’t work.
There is also the possibility to go on the track, as soon as I have the info i will let you know.
The 27th of April the night before Viva Italia we gather for a diner at Restaurant van Veen , if you want to com please let me know so I can give them the right numbers.
Here the link of the Restaurant : https://www.restaurantvanveen.nl/
This year we also have special for this event designed T-shirts, if you want one please let me know , so I can give you the E-mail address of the guy who takes care of these.

I will look after coffee/thee/cookies/soda asking price for this is 5,- euro per car including the rent of the paddock tent . you can pay it on the day itself.
I you have questions please let me know.

Greetings René Besselink

I fancy that via the Hull Ferry.

Thanks for the update René

Hi René, all the best to you guys

I'll not be able to make this due to some fairly good reasons, but since Emilia is now over there I'll see if I can persuade her to join in the fun and say hi!

She loved it last time (2 years ago)

You'll have to let us be the judge of that Simon?! As you know, you have set the bar very high, missing several ferries in quick succession is not a good enough excuse, for example...

All right, all right

Yes it's true Emilia thought she'd have a much better chance of getting there if she lived in the same country!!

But, (wriggling to his own defence), BumbleBee is due for some serious work at that time which will preclude any flights of fancy....

I have invited her already , so that's taken care of , now have to find a way to get bumblebee over to Assen, on a trailer an option ?

Lol, probably more reliable than a ferry

Am working on a cunning plan...

you are most welcome

I may be up for this as well M62 over to the Hull ferry then Rotterdam to Assen is almost the same mileage as Warrington to Edinburgh which is a fairly regular trip for me. And I mean the city and not Simon in case rumours spread Need to check diary as it's Easter holiday time but fingers crossed....

Sounds good. Done it before to Spa Italia so if car is good to go will definitely do it from Hull

Here are a few links of accommodations in and near Assen :
