Post by: LazyLunatic on 15 July 2012, 10:47: I'm debating this now. Spoke to a guy at castle combe yesterday and he said its very likely this is the last MIVW. Reason seemed to be due to main organiser falling ill. He seemed a reputable source for the info. He also reckoned if this show stops, the smaller shows will grow.

I'll be asking about and see if I can gather interest with the club down here. Think it would be awesome!

Post by: LazyLunatic on 17 July 2012, 21:05: Looks good. Really think it will be a good weekend away.

Can you link me google map location, I'm a little confused. I've found a couple locations under the 2012 name, somewhere down south Holland and up near Leiden.

Post by: jv on 17 July 2012, 21:15: It's basically somewhere near Leiden! About 10 mins drive from the town centre. Either stay there, really cool chilled place or up the road in Amsterdam if that's more your bag, as it were.

:cool:

Post by: jv on 18 July 2012, 17:48: Ah I see what you did there, it's not the one miles away, it's just west a bit from Leiden - on the edge of the air field.

Nice one. Where you lot usually stay? I'd like to stay at the Shell garage hotel of the MIVW show (forgot the name of the hotel lol), be in the middle of it all, but I'm guessing it'll be full by now.

Post by: jv on 18 July 2012, 23:03: Eh? You muddled with Worthersee, or am I confused?! MIVW is a one day thing on the Sunday. Outside of that it's pretty much make it up yourself, hang out in Leiden, go to Amsterdam. There is an 'official' hotel where they have some kind of Sat night thing but I haven't been to that before.

I made it confusing :D The shell garage is the Worthersee thing, but the main hotel for MIVW was compared to the Shell garage at Worthersee. I can't remember the name, I just need to google it but that means opening a new tab which is all the way ^^^ there!
