Cosmin......
The event could be anywhere around Antwerp....it's quite a large area....
So most of us, rather than book a hotel/rooms 10miles to the West side and then find
it's to be held 20 miles or so East of Antwerp are waiting for the official word from
the organisers group.....and also to see what deals they come up with too.

As Al Young from the Smart Club said in his message/post....
"Rest assured that whilst many people are already booking hotels in Antwerp, the official
 smart times event organisers are still planning what activities take place where and we are
 part of that organisational team – as such, we can be sure to provide the best information
 and logistics where possible.
 
 It will be late January, early February before we can announce more and as with all our
 events, my organisation team make at least one entire ‘dry run’ of route and
 accommodation to make sure all is well before we publicise."

I agree with CrazyG on this one, I am not going to book anything until we have more news from Al Young.
Firstly I need to book the time off work (if I don't have time off already) and secondly need to work out where it is before I book anything.

Cosmin, I look forward to meeting you if you're going. You have been a great part of FFO as well as FF.co.uk.

I think the quetion to ask is, who is interested?

So far we have:

Myself
Fox
MazzieL
Cosmin
CrazyG
Kanapa1

Feel free to PM me to have your name added to the list so we have an idea of numbers

news from the organizer person , the girl that MB was talking with my friend (girl) , in riccione

we can ask and tell to put groups of countries near one to others and possible to see also the manufacture where smart 44 was assambled

is a honor to help , and i am sure that all the owners of the 44`s have that "something" for the cars and they feel save in the car and love the road attitude .

Further email from Al today:

Hi

I refer to our earlier email and would advise you that the next formal communication from thesmartclub about smart times 2012 will be around mid February 2012.

The great news is that interest in this year's event is already much higher than we expected and it's shaping up to be one of the best, if not THE best, smart times event yet.

More information shortly and meantime, best wishes from all the team

Further update from Al Young:

Hi

It seems like the year has only just started and February is already zooming to an end ... but the amazing prospect of smart times 2012 is getting even closer and our email inbox has been bursting with enquiries!

thesmartclub is already well prepared for our visit to, what is sure to be, one of the best smart times events yet and we'll be providing you with further details about the Event and thesmartclub's package in the coming weeks.

As I am sure you know, smart times 2012 takes place in Antwerp, Belgium from 23rd to 26th August 2012 and the forthcoming issue of thesmartclub's '4site' Magazine contains a high level view of our accommodation plans in addition to an exclusive interview with Dr Annette Winkler, Head of smart.

thesmartclub is liaising closely with the event organisers (and for our UK participants, with smart UK) to ensure that we all bring you the best information there is regarding routes, a package of options, participation in smart times 2012 and additional attractions plus we'll bring you access to all the online information there is to know about this huge smart spectacle. smart international will also be launching information via a facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/smart.international and we'll be supporting this, of course, via our dedicated web site www.smarttimes2012.com

Meantime, if you have any specific questions for thesmartclub regarding this event, you can email us at info@smarttimes2012.com (or call us on +44-845-299-0332) and we'll do our best to get back to you as soon as posisble.

Keep a look out online and we’ll be back to you very, very soon with 'smart times Update 04' 

Best wishes

Can't wait for this event!!

Further update from Al- please register your details if you are interested in the full package that the Smart Club offer for this event:

Hi

Following on from earlier updates, we are continuing with our planning in advance of a wide range of formal communications later this month.

Meantime, we'd be grateful if you could let us know whether you are interested in receiving details about thesmartclub's FULL package to this Event (comprising cross channel crossing, 4* Hotel accommodation, Event pre-registration, en route support and much more) or whether you simply wish to be kept up to date on an 'Information Only' basis that will provide you Event Pre-registration and details about local hotels and event details.

Selecting an option now does NOT commit you to that decision but it does assist us with planning.

You can make your preference selection by following the link below:

Best wishes

Well...
for those that haven't yet worked out when this even is actually taking place, it is
from August 23rd to 26th inclusive.

Personally I'll be making my own arrangements for this event (and save money in the process).
As and when I've sorted out a few details I'll give you the lowdown on costs/times/hotel etc etc
and see if we can then organise a 'tube' of ForFours down to the Channel port, onto a ferry, and
then another 'tube' to Antwerp.

Cheers, CrazyG

[LadyV]

Hey,

I think Fox and I will be doing our own thing as well.

We are deciding whether to continue on to Amsterdam by car either before or after the event depending on holiday time I can get.

I'm really looking forward to smart times 2012 - i've been 4 times so far and it's always been an amazing event, got a great buzz about it. We'll be there with the BRABUS forfour and the Crossblade (as it's the 10th birthday of the 'blade).

If you are thinking of going, i'd suggest booking a hotel sooner rather than later - it would appear they're filling up already!
