EuroTec Meet-up - Norfolk 8th July Weekend

EDIT: hotel is currently showing full if you try and book for a shorter stay - but is available if you book 3 nights Thurs-Sun. The "backup hotel" is the Premier Inn, which is also half the price :) - https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels ... -lynn.html
Only 2 miles away. Nearer the time when we've got an idea of who is where, we'll work on arranging taxis/vans between the two to make life easier for those that are there. If you do decide to book at the Premier Inn you could do so on a cancellable rate and see if the Dragonfly release more rooms nearer the time.

OK - In short - it is the same weekend as last year - 2 nights from Friday 8th July - and the booking link is here: https://suryahotels.co.uk/hotels/dragonfly-kings-lynn/
At the time of posting this it was £196 total for an "advance purchase" weekend for 2 people including breakfast. As it stands, this date has been chosen because every weekend in June is already sold out at this hotel, so don't leave this to the last minute - the hotel will very much be full without a doubt, as will nearly every hotel in the country for every weekend in July.

Since this is not "officially organised" - I, nor anyone, would have no way of knowing if you have booked, so ideally find a way of letting me know - ideally by posting a reply here.



Here below is the obligatory copy and paste "intro"


Here it is then, may I present

"EuroTec Weekend 2022"

This event is taking place across the weekend of Fri 8 and Sat 9 July 2022 in King's Lynn, Norfolk.

As with the highly successful sell-out EuroTec events in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 ,2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, not to mention the other so-called "mini-meets" this will be based in the pretty county of Norfolk, this time at same new location, still close to the Royal Family's home of Sandringham - on the edge of the town of King's Lynn.
For pictures of our previous events please click here

For this meet, the focus here is on socialising. If you've never been before don't be scared! Many people who come to these meet-ups only know one or two others (or less). This is a good way to meet up with like minded people and swap tips. For non-owners there will be time to ask questions, look around the cars, etc. The hotel is http://www.dragonflykingslynn.co.uk/ . Accommodation is not exactly 5 star, but the hotel has a large tarmac car park and has recently been fully refurbished. There are 50 rooms in total.

Attendance at these events is always high, always sells out, and many DeLorean cars are expected this time as usual. As with the previous big events here, this will be a guaranteed sell-out, the hotel are not reserving any rooms for this, and are totally unaware we are coming.

The Itinerary:
- Arrive Friday from 14:00 onwards.
- Socialise, congratulate those who've braved the Norfolk roads in their DeLoreans
- dinner - maybe a local Indian restaurant - tbc
- Beer etc. (the bar is/was open 24 hours normally)
- Sleep(?)
- Saturday - Breakfast (included)
- Hang around car park kicking tyres, etc.
- 1.30 Lunch at "Arbuckles", local large popular restaurant nearby - t.b.c. - assuming they will have us
- 3.00 Tech session
- Bar
- dinner at the hotel - price £10-£15 - tbc
- Beer etc. (the bar is/was open 24 hours normally)
- Sleep
- Sunday - Breakfast (included)
- Go home

Since this is a highly un-organised "event" please just mention it in this thread if you are going to come along for either day (with or without staying), or if you have any other questions. If you'd rather not post here :shock: then click here to send a message to Arran now - or email me, or tell anyone - I will probably find out :) - just so we have an idea of numbers.

In short - it is 2 nights from Friday 8th July - and the booking link is here: https://suryahotels.co.uk/hotels/dragonfly-kings-lynn/


Any questions please ask

There is some talk about starting on Thursday evening.
