An Invitation To All...

The A2OC would like to extend the following invitation to all forum members to participate in a once in a lifetime opportunity...

The trip will include a visit to Neckalsum to see the A2 being built and for a factory tour on Thursday 6th of May. On the following day, there will be a visit Ingolstadt to see the Audi museum and everything else Audi related!

It is a 630 mile trip to Nuremberg from London, and I appreciate that not everyone who wants to go lives in London or even the UK so in order to keep the trip down to 4 days there is likely to be a day of intensive driving on the first and last days, although I do strongly suggest that those that are able to should break up the journey and have a night's stopover each way. I'm sure that even the convoy drive down will be memorable! We will be aiming to make Nuremberg our base for 2 nights as it is fairly close to both Neckalsum and Ingolstadt and there will be an official club 'dinner and drinks' night on the first evening after the factory tour. As with all A2OC social events, there will be plenty of time to do your own thing with no strict agenda except for the Audi visits and the club evening.

There will obviously be costs involved - obviously significant fuel costs, insurances, the channel crossing by EuroTunnel, 3 nights in a hotel, food, bar bill etc.
Generally hotels in Europe are significantly cheaper than in the UK. I was amazed at the price of a decent hotel in France compared to the equivalent in the UK. For example in Nuremburg, the InterCityHotel Nürnberg (4 star) is £73.00 per room per night. Or Ramada-Treff Hotel Nuernberg (4 star) is £63.00 per room. Finally, the Mercure Congress Nürnberg (3 star) is £48.00 per room.

Euro Tunnel costs vary, but current estimate is about £113 return. Of course that's without investigating if we can get some sort of group booking discount.

But this will be a one off opportunity to see the A2 production line while you still can and it will be a true confirmation to the Audi world that there is a well organised and united international A2 club in existence.

In addition, although this will be an official A2OC event, we are going to be inviting members of the German A2 Forum to join us if they wish so that there may be even more of us and a greater presence. Some of you may have met Frido at the February social event after he made the trip from Germany to join us for the day - Frido has very kindly offered to help coordinate and organise this trip.

I am sure that you understand the amount of work that Frido (and a little by myself) have and will put into making this event successful, organised and great fun for everyone and so as a result and to show your commitment to coming, we will be asking for a small deposit from you which will be refunded to you at Nuremburg.

There are a maximum of 25 places on this trip of which 16 have been filled already. So, if you would like to come, please email me at [email protected] and let me know how many of you they'll be.

As it becomes available, more information will be posted here: http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/meet4.htm

So looking at 4th of May onwards?

Have you also looked into SeaCat and Ferries as i have found them to be much cheaper than Euro Tunnel - used the Sea Cat to import my A2 and given 1st class service
