Mel
cool
we'll be arriving Wednesday afternoon onwards, Stan and me should be first uk vans there, see you for a beer then, it's a shame it clashes with other vw meets that weekend I'm not sure how many non syncros will be there but everyone is welcome

Hi Mel

The syncronauts are not going to Bielefeld, but MammutPark - you can find all details of the meet here: http://www.syncro25years.eu/En/index.htm

You don't have to have a syncro and it is fine to turn up on the gate.

Look forward to meeting you

hi aidan,
if a couple of you guys are coming over as early as wednesday i might be able to offer you some hospitality in the way of showers and some scoff etc. i'e had a look at the link that jenny sent and it looks as though the town is not too far from me,i reckon about 50 km but need to check on my gps.i live in a small town about 10 kms outside paderborn .its a spa town with lots of private clinics and health tourists so very nice and clean with lots of bars and restaurnts etc.its also got a mobile home park in
the park right in the middle of town which i think costs 10 euros a night but right next to it is a free car park that you can park in indefinitley, i know cos one of my vans is down there at the moment as no room on the drive. anyway i live about 5 mins drive fron there and you'd be more than welcome to come around for a shower and some of mrs. melodys cooking if you fancy it and then i could take you down my local german boozer where you could try out some of the local beverages and then stagger back to your vans (about 150 metres from pub) and head on the next day whatever time you rise. PM me if it sounds a viable option and i'll give you my address details and we'll get something jacked up. p.s the town is called Bad Lippspringe you can google it if you want maybe it'l give you a bit more info than i can.see ya soon mel.
