Hi John,

DeLorean owners and enthusiasts from around the world will all be invited to the next "open" event - Eurofest 2016 26th May to 29th May 2016. An exciting programme of new events has been planned and Barrie Wills has accepted an invitation to be one of the keynote speakers and hopefully he will bring along some of his former colleagues.
More details and on-line booking will appear through various websites in due course.

I'm not sure what's going on. The biggest DMC-12 event to attend, held only every 5yrs, is posted everywhere else but here!?

So i'm going to post up the links myself. Registration is now open. Hotel rooms are going to be in HIGH DEMAND! So if you want to go, and take your car along, then you gotta get your name down a.s.a.p.

If people want to add to a list of attendees (i'll start one here myself), then others will be aware of who's going and if they are interested in convoys etc.

Come on people, lets get a proper representation of the DOCUK going eh. :wink:


List of attendees to date:

Chris McG (Rissy) in "LEX" (Vin#1458) - Hotel not booked yet, but may try for the Europa or a very close by equivalent

[Rissy]

I meant to say:

Seems to be £115 if you're transporting yourself around (if you bring your own car) or £150 if need to depend on a coach seat to get around the events.

I'm presuming this price is per person.

The price doesn't include the entry to the transport museum or titanic exhibit, or of course, hotel room.

Hi,
Yes Chris is correct, a bit slow in posting this, however I have updated the thread.
You can put me down as attending, not sure on how/where/when yet but will probably stay at the Europa. I will try to put a 'shadow topic' in the Ireland section as well. Lots of club members will I'm sure be attending regardless of stating so on this forum/eurotec or DOI.

Thank you Chris for posting registration details and hotel rates for Eurofest 2016.
Our on-line registration via the DeLorean Owners Association (in the USA) only opened 48 hours ago and the event starts exactly one year from today!
Some folk have been very quick off the mark; Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Ireland and England among the first to register.
Hope to see many of you in Belfast this time next year :-)

I think it will be a great event (as ever) and I'm sure that it will be a huge success, the DeLorean marque has never been on such a 'high' so it will cause a huge amount of interest from both old and new/prospective enthusiasts.
Thanks again for all the effort everyone puts in to this event and to the guys for clearing the track.

I've just finished registering (using the link above), and have booked into the Europa with the booking ID code Chris W has provided for the 26, 27 and 28th, checking out on the 29th May 2016.

Hope to see lots of familiar faces for the weekend there. T minus 1 year and counting! lol!

not sure if we'll be able to come, its expensive taking 2 DeLorean's to Ireland, plus
we've got 2 children to factor in too - those links don't give out family room rates,
so we'd have to look into other hotels in the area if we decided to go - will have to work
out how much it will cost us in total though first.

[Chris Williams]

So the Eurofest website shows the event being from the 26th May (Thursday) until the 29th (Sunday) do we have a rough plan for the daays as yet. I thought it was usually Fri-Sun?
Just trying to clarify so I can book Hotels/Tug Boat Etc!
