Beta meeting in France for the 50th anniversary in 2022

[cgo75]

Hi everyone,
I'm in charge, for the Lancia Club France, to organize a big event in 2022 for the 50th anniversary of the Lancia Beta. The event will take place in the north west of France, near Saint Valerie sur Somme, not far away from Calais. It will be a two days meeting (Friday afternoon until Sunday noon) in the second quarter of 2022. The Betameeta event of 2012, to which I participated, will inspire the organization of the 2022 meeting : nice place, good food, elegance contest, gala dinner with games and Prices for the contest, easy ride in the country side with a visit of some castle, abbey or stunning place, and a lot of time to rest, drink beer and chat about cars.

If some of you are interested (even only one car!), I will make sure that most of the documents will be in English, that visits will be commented in English  and I will select enough bilingual french participants that you won't feel alone

I know it's a bit too early for real commitment, but I would like to know if  you are interested and if it's worth digging the subject.

Thanks for your replies

Happy new year

Claude

Hi Claude
Please count me in please,  we are also in the process of organising a UK Beta 50th/Betameeta, again no dates set yet, but we will make sure they don't clash with each other.
I'll add a 2022 events page and move this over.

Regards
Tony.

10 positive answers in a very short period of  time: It's more than I expected.

So I will work on the project and keep you updated regularly (every quarter at the beginning and every month by october this year). Formal registration will be around December this year (Booking of large hotel for the  month of may needs to be organized a long time before as this period is the busiest of the year).

I am delighted to work on this ambitious french-british project and I will do everything so that you are not disappointed.

Obviously if you organize something in the UK, I'm in.

Indeed!

It's a bit more of a hike from where I am but why not?

..besides my beta would never forgive me for missing out on such a gathering.
Something very pleasant to look forward to Claude. Let's hope things are back to normal / or semi-normal by then
