Wolfy Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I can see one or two vehicle/outfit specific threads on normandy 2014 but unless I'm missing it not a general one open to all? It would be useful to know who's planning what and who can attend. I believe there is an MVT trip but I cant see details. I would really like to take my Jeep as part of a larger group. Is anyone aware of planned events where the requirements aren't very strict eg - Only British vehicles or only American clothing etc. Quote
Big ray Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 The North Staffs Area, MVT. are going as a group, staying in Carentan, "Commander" Chris will be doing all of the planning as per usual, we always have a great time. Quote
Wolfy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Sounds great Ray, it will come around quickly I think. Quote
Scammell4199 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I had hoped to go with the MVT to the Etreham site again, but the folks don't want to camp anymore, so we tried booking one of the chalets on site, but the site has changed hands since last time and we can't make the new owners understand what we want over the phone and they don't answer emails, so don't know what to do.

Tony B Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Proabaly will need to be a planned event. Our Friends across the water can get quite sniffy. Maybe they think we won't go home? :-D Quote
