pan-european celica meet on parma/north italy, 25-26 Aug 2007 Options

[recycle]

I wrote many reasons why this, IMHO, will have to be a 6th gen meeting:
1. THIS is a 6gen forum, with 6 gen people that write/read posts, and had the idea of a european meeting to meet each other
2. There is ALREADY an european ALL gen Celicas meeting every year:
this year is the next 03 September in Nederland, www.tccn.nl
When there was not an European only 6th gen Celicas Meeting, never and nowhere.
3. IMHO it will be more funny to meet 6gc forum people
4. A fact, and not imho, is that it would be more funny for the participants, and easy, a less car only 6gen meeting.
I already know how it is difficult to take 30 cars around in the roads to reach places, and restaurants.
Move 60/80 cars will be VERY HARD.
Move 150 cars will be impossible.
5. Also, you can even hardly find the same hotels and restaurants for 100 people...
But will be impossible to make 200 people to eat in the same restaurant.
This said... do what you wanna do, no problems for me.

i respect ut opinion.
real celica or not is still a celica.
i know its difficult to have a 150 car meeting but not impossible. we have tryied it in cyprus and i can be done.
i still believe (and hope and want) to have a celica meeting.

note: www.tccn.nl looks like a 20 car show. nothing more

Thank you for pointing out that this is an Celica Meeting of all generations (1st to7th). You came up with that idea and this is what the majority wants = So lets get all Country organisators to spread the first plan throughout their country.

I can recommend to do it this way:
1) As country organisator choose the biggest Toyota or Celica Community of your country. There you post a Tread that the 1st PECM will be held in Aug 07 in Italy, that all gen. Celicas are invited and that this thread will be regularly updated.
2) You start in that thread a list where you name all Boards, Websites, or groups where Celicas drivers can be found. Then you ask the community to help you to fill the list. (Because we do not know all boards or groups out there )
3) You set a date, for example 1 week until the list should be finished.
4) then after that week you send a thread or an email to al these communities of your list with the information of our meeting and that they can login into the big community ( the one from my point 1) ) to get an regularly update....

In that way it should work that we get nearly all Celica drivers to know about our event. In the PECM thread of your country you can then update all the information regarding this event, start to organize the convoy...

I hope this is some help for some of you....

cheers Joerg

mate thank u for ur support to my idea.

your timetable is too tight. 1 week is imposible. to help wolf organising this very difficult meeting i would say that each country organiser should say by the end of november the maximum and minimum numbers of celicas that will come.

for example germany 10-12 cyprus 9-15 uk 11-13.
the average of this is the actual number of cars that are going to be in parma next august. (10+9+11, 12+15+13 so average of 35 cars will be at the meeting.
this is the number of reservations to be made, and the price of each person to pay for the track). then the countries orginiser should collect money from the actual number of celicas coming (wolf said about 150E and i guess this is for hotels advance and track). wolf asked this money by the end of may.
if the total number of cars is more than the one calculated (and the track money more than the 6500E) then i beleive the money should be used at the restaurant/track/something ) anyway i dont believe the total number of cars will much different from the calculated one.

now about the convoys. each country organiser should find the best route for the car and a most likely cost.
also to come in contact with other countries organanisers on the way to parma, to get bigger convoys and place to stay, if trip is more than 1 day. for example i already caclulated the cost for cypriots (1400-1500cyp that is 2450-2600E and i believe this is the greatest from any european country) and i am trying to reach greek people (if any interested coming) and also people from bulgaria romania and turkey(again if any) to join our convoy.
i have found ship times and costs, calculated gas consumpion 400km/tank at 70 euro tank, tolls (!) hoped to cover everything.

i know is a hard work to be done, but i think the smile of seeing all kind of celicas from all over europe, different kind of registration plates, seeing very nice cars, like vsideboys, tufys, wolfs, snakeloa (i am telling these cos these people said already yes and i know how their car looks like, i am not hostile to any other celica, all celicas are beautiful imo). this is the reward of hard work, and i feel it everytime we have meeting here in cyprus. but this will be much bigger and stronger and sweeter feeling.

[vsideboy]

ok then. gen6 only. i don't care.

i do care

I know you do mate, I do really. I'm just getting sick of the arguing.

[snakeloa]

@ recycle... You missunderstood my point... Please reread my post

It is just an example! And this 1 week is only to put together a list of all boards, groups and communities where celica members could be registered. Then after 1 week you have a list with boards like 6GC or with groups like the the GT4OC...

This one week is not to get all owners together just to get a list where Celica owners are registered!!!

Let me show you: Here is what i have done in the biggest Toyota CBoard of Germany.

PECM 07 Germany

There you see a list of internet Links and emails to Celica groups... I think with the help of the biggest Toyota Community in each country it is easy to complete each list.

And again it is just a guide to make it easier to Country organisers who might face some problems.

Then when you have contacted all these adresses you can tell them to reply in the thread on your choosen communication site (best would be again the biggest site where you posted the initial information) that they should please tell you until..... lets say end of november how many will come.

Cheers Joerg

[snakeloa]

well so far we have spread the word in germany. The response is good. a lot of the members is looking forward to get more information...

Orange is organizing switzerland...
And he is going to setup an "german"informationsite for the PECM 07, with all information and a participant list for germany,austria and Switzerland.

Here is a preview !!! It is only a preview !!!
http://www.gtfour.ch//meeting/2007/pecm

Joerg,

the map on gtfour.ch site is wrong, please tell them.

About the booking:

I'll make the booking for all the members that send the money to me before May 2007.

If someone will pay, but, then, will not come to the meeting, probably is going to loose the money:
I don't want to book 100 rooms in an hotel, and then have a 20/30 % of people that doesn't come!

August is a particular period of the year ( holidays, many tourists ecc... )... so we will have to pay IN ADVANCE all the rooms we will book.

Hope you understand...

Fine thank you wolf... i will tell him.

@ all. Ornage suggested that we could use his Info-site for all Countries. Then we would have got a great overview of how many people would like to come.

We would have a datalist of all participants, sorted by countries in one big databank. That might be easier for all of us.

If you think so too. Then tell me?!?

We would have to discuss how the info site would have to look like.
From my point of view it should be:
1) a site in several languages. (english, german, italien ???)
2) it should be a content of @ least three subsites a) an infosite with all facts of the meeting b) a formular where everybody can enter his details to take part as participant and c) a list of allready signed participants sorted by countries

Questions i have what should we ask in the formular?:
Name, Surname, Street No, Zip Code, Town, Region, Country, Tel, Mobil , email, how many participants, which kind of room they want, how many nights they want to book, which car they drive....

Well think about it and tell me.... There are a lot of open questions to discuss and a lot of them are related to the program of Wolf.

Wolf what information would you like to get?

Joerg,

I already thought about this issue,

and I am going to build a simple forum on the forumfree circuit, with one section for every nation that will be present, and a general section for the general info.

In every national section you MUST talk in your language, while we will use English in the general section...
and in the general section ONLY the national organizer can write:
I think this is the better way to organize all the things.


About the program:
as I told, unfortunately with so many cars we are going to have a very static meeting...
think about this... 1 car in movement occupies around 20 meters ( 5 meters the car, plus 15 meters of space between the car ahead ).... and 150 cars means 150 * 20 = 3 KILOMETERS of our cars in queue !

And believe me if I say it'll be HARD to make roads with so many cars...

BTW let's see the numbers for first, and according to the real participants, I'll think about the better things to do.

Hi everybody!
I live in Milan and I take part of the CelicaT20 club/forum, but also of the greek celicaclub, cause I’m greek.
Well, I can post a thread about the European meeting at the greek forum.
But, you have to know that in Greece exists a unique celica club/forum for all the generations. I ‘ve seen on this thread that you have a disagreement on what exactly you prefer to do. I can perfectly understand the concept of an only 6th celica’s generation European meeting, it will also be more flexible and easier to manage, but I think that the invitation can’t exlude the other generations, specially at the countries that they don’t have separate clubs for the different models. I also know that recently some greeks was thinking to organise a trip/meeting to Italy or somewhere in Europe, but they still have not many contacts in Europe and the club there is almost new. Well, I'm gonna post it as a 6th generation european meeting and then we will see...

By the way, I would like to say that I’ve been at the national meeting of Italian celicaT20 at Parma last May and I think that it’s an amazing place. Varano is very close, there are many itineraries to do by car at the mountains and…the food is delicious (….the wine too!!!!! ). I think it’s a very good choice and I‘ll be there even I’ll have to go from Greece!

@ recycle and others of Cyprus and who has to cross Greece: If you want any information about the trip from Greece, roads, ferry boats etc, you can ask me (also by pm in greek). Just few days ago I’ve returned from Thessaloniki and I use to do this trip by car. Thessaloniki-Milan on average 26 hours Parma is 1 hour less. Thessaloniki -Turkish border is about 400 km (less of 4 hours).

Bye!!!
Maria

PS: Sorry for my english....

[TomPoz]

....unique celica club/forum for all the generations....

Same here in Poland.
