TechnoClassica Essen 2021

Post by Jens »

Although the organisers still think the TC will happen as planned (7.-11. April 2021) we have decided NOT to have a stand as the German branch of the JOC.

I am not very happy with the idea of being in a large crowd no matter if there are official hygienic standards or not. I know how people behave and we think it is not responsible regarding our people at the booth.

It might be different, if the TC is moved to a different date later this year and vaccination is making progress but at the moment I do see us back at the TC next year in April.

Hope this not too much of a disapointment to anyone involved but I know what I am talking about and I would not put anyone into a risk. Travelling from the UK to Germany at the moment is a different chapter anyway.

Jens,

I wholeheartedly support your decision.

It is hoped things will be a little clearer as the year goes on but for the moment let us all stay safe.

Thank you Shaun.

While reading your reply I think I should have consulted you before the decision. Please excuse that I didn't.

But everyone I talked to here in Germany supported the idea of not going so I thought I could publish.

Will do better next time :roll:

Jens,
No problem at all.
As I said, I fully support your decision.
It seems that we may have to consider similar courses of action as we go through this year.
I have seen that the Bedford Festival of Motoring scheduled for June has been cancelled over here so we just don't know at the moment.
Hopefully, the events towards the end of the summer and early autumn may be ok.
We wait and see.

I wouldn't mind coming over to TC next year perhaps.

Keep on rocking in the free world. (There is a 541 connection I think)

TC officially cancelled, no new date for 2021, next TC will be 2022.

And then the JOC will be back too.

Jens,

Lets see if we can make it bigger and better. There may be a few nicely restored cars available by then.

I know (at least in Germany) and I fully agree - the most difficult thing is to get a bigger stand just for the club for free.

How many cars would you like to show?

If we have a good concept we may be able to get some more space but I assume that will cost us some money.

Can we have a chat over the weekend?
