Hello
I am writing to invite you all to a DOC organized event
which we are calling ‘DOC EuroTec’. After a lot of feedback from club
members we are proposing to host this event across the weekend of Fri 1, Sat 2,
Sun 3rd June 2007 in
http://www.caleyhallhotel.co.uk
It has all been muted by many that we should invite
other owners from the main European DMC clubs, so as to help further and form
relationships between the DOC and these groups /individuals. I have already
received a lot of correspondence from them with expressions of interest in
attending.
We are hoping to make this event a yearly fixture,
please note that this is in no way an attempt to be in direct competition with
the 'Eurofest' event!
Arran has already graciously 'block booked' ALL of his
rooms for us to use, so initially we would be very grateful if you could at
least reserve a room, direct through his website above. This is to not only show
our commitment to him at a busy time of year and also to ensure that you don’t
miss out!!
Please note that i am expecting this event to be fully
booked and very soon judging by the response i have had so far, so please do not
leave this until the last minute, once the rooms have gone that will be it!.
You will obviously note from below that
As you can guess, the basis of the weekend will be
around 'Workshop / Tech sessions' throughout the weekend, hence the title ‘DOC
EuroTec’ there will be refreshment’s, BBQ's and Dinner at the hotel itself.
Workshop ‘Marquees’ will be set up to provide
shelter and areas of work.
I am also pleased to announce (subject to final work
commitments) the attendance (in first name alphabetical order), of:-
Chris Nicholson P J Grady UK
Dan Shane DMCL
Darren Lampert P J Grady UK
Ed Uding from DMC Europe
Martin Gutkowski DMCL
All have kindly agreed to provide us with technical and
hands on assistance over the course of the event along with of our
‘Technical’ guys from the Club. Full details are to follow but may involve
engine tuning, wheel alignment, minor bodywork regraining / repairs, Torsion bar
adjustments. .. etc etc !
(An itinerary based on what people would like to be done
on their cars will be drafted and considered up for the weekend)
We are very grateful for all their assistance in helping
to make this event a highly enjoyable and constructive weekend for all.
Scenic drives will also be organized throughout the
weekend for those not wishing to participate in the ‘workshops’ and night
time entertainment will provided.
Obviously at this stage an exact itinerary for the
weekend has to be drawn up, so any further suggestions are all very welcome!
We will also need to put together a plan of action to
ensure that the correct facilities are provided and safely i.e. the correct
tools, jacks, stands etc etc .
Please If anyone can assist in helping to organize this
event and set up ‘camp’ etc please contact me ASAP so that an ‘event
committee’ can be formed early in the new year.
