I keep promising to do this but Gwen's health is not up to it.
I'll do my best for next year, after all I have a lot of friends living in the area.

Link to the hotel's web site via Google Translate since the link on their page is wrong.

You may have to click on 'Translating...' to get it to show. Google seems to have a bit of trouble with the site, or it might just be Firefox.

Just tried to book a room online but showinh fully booked. Ive emailed them. :rolleyes:

Same here.
Let me know how you get on. Perhaps the rooms have been pre-booked by the organisers for the meet and there may be some to spare.:-(:

Yes they normally have - I always ask for Johan and mention the A8 Treffen and they normally confirm the room back with its discounted rate, its actually very good value at 80 euros per night for a single room including bed brekkie and evening meal and all the food is buffet style fill your boots stuff :D

Sorry Lads/Lasses, no chance now. I can't travel that far without Gwen and the prognosis is not good enough yet.


9 Cars confirmed and 4 possibles! :D+++

My room is now confirmed.
For those looking at the website and thinking that there's no room at the Inn, just send them a message via their online contact form and they get back to you with a PDF confirmation of a 2-night stay for €160,00.

We're going to need some more radios! :D

Got my room booked and confirmed.
Exactly the same as process and price as Spanker
Happy days :D

Excellent +++ No FE's have been to the Germany meet before as far as we know, and now 2 and a half in one year! :D

One day I will go to the German meet, I can't make it this year due to other family commitments but perhaps next year. My brother lives near Frankfurt so could pop in on the way.

Pete, note that both Frankfurts are not next door to the meet. Germany is pretty big.
Presume you mean Frankfurt am Main? Maybe 350Km


Frankfurt an der Oder is some 450Km away.

I tried emailing them just under a week ago, but got no response - I've tried again now, hopefully they'll reply this time :rolleyes:

Does anyone have a login on a8-freunde.com? The meeting agenda is now available but its members only: https://www.a8-freunde.com/forum/ind...streffen-2018/

Hello A8 friends community,

Even if you did not notice, the Team Orga has been clinging to the last weeks and putting together a decent program for our 11th annual meeting.

Itinerary:
1st Friday, 10.08.2018

Own arrival to Waldhotel Schäferberg ( 34314 Espenau at Kassel, Wilhelmsthaler Str. 14 ). Here we have dinner together in the reserved room for the A8 Friends Community. Then, in good weather, we will go outside to the parking lots to the main attractions and let the evening end with good conversation. In bad weather our reserved room or the hotel bar is available.

2nd Saturday, 11.08.2018

The breakfast buffet in the hotel is as always ready from 06.30. Please note that we have a strict schedule and all meet for departure at 9:45 am at the hotel car park. The departure takes place at 10.00 clock. The goal this year is the Edersee. Here we have booked a passenger boat trip on the beautiful Edersee. Meeting point is the deposit Waldeck beach (Ederseerandstr. 8B, 34513 Waldeck ). The boat trip over the entire Edersee takes about 2 hours and costs 12, - EUR per person. We have made a parking reservation for our cars. The price for this is 100, - EUR. The flat rate will be allocated to the number of vehicles. However, experience should not cost more than 3 to 4, - EUR per vehicle. I think it's all worth it for our cars to park safely.

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1532088377

After the passenger navigation, we drive on to the next event. We are talking about the summer toboggan run. We have arranged here with the owner the arrival between 14.30 and 15.00 clock. He also offers us the possibility of a locked parking lot. He makes these available to us free of charge.

We were able to agree on a package deal here. The package includes the following: Use of the summer toboggan run (2x per person), grill buffet with an upgrade (steaks, beef steaks, chicken breast steaks, at least 4 kinds of bratwurst, home-made potato salad, rosemary potatoes and herb dip.) The total cost per person is 23,14 EUR.

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1532088377

The owner here a parking space available, here also the evaluation of the vehicles takes place. As always, you will receive the evaluation sheets from Team Orga.
After the evaluation, we drive together back to the hotel. Here then the evaluation of the reviews including cup award. We also have dinner at the hotel.

3rd Sunday, 12.11.2018

Again, we have a breakfast buffet available. After breakfast, the departure can take place at your own discretion.
We hope for a great meeting in 2018, many good talks, petrol in the air and many participants with heart and soul.

For the meeting to work, we ask you to observe the following rules of conduct:
Please keep the venue and the parking lot clean!
The instructions of Team Orga (Scotty, Robert, Yann, Julia) are to be obeyed!
Independent access (no official exit)!
Tire squealing and rioting in the parking lots is prohibited!
Everyone is responsible for themselves in road traffic!
There are no roads/intersections or the like blocked!

We look forward to seeing you

Scotty, Robert, Yann and Julia

Thanks :) That sounds like fun +++

No rioting in the car park though :tuttut: :D
