Could Carpe reps please note the latest postings on Ouestlekeum and pick up on discussions - collective and timely decision-making continues to be an issue.

For general info., focus is still on the Black Forest - variations around a target area about 350 miles (560 km) from Calais.

Rock on! (Message in there somewhere.... tongue.gif)

A 7-way (UK/France/Italy/Germany/Switzerland/Austria/Netherlands Skype conference on Sunday evening unblocked some of the comms. issues. Still a way to go, bring more help on board, including likely a local tourist agency, but just for flavour here's a couple more shots of the TDMItalia Guinness record-breaking meet in 2003 that Dandy went to:





and a link to their recent G2G http://www.tdmitalia...ni/village2009"" target="_blank"> http://www.tdmitalia...uni/village2009</a>

Would Carpe reps please check out the latest postings on the French forum resulting from the teleconf. Ta.

(It's intended to make the situation more transparent and planning a bit more interactive.)

Ah memories, memories, as we stare into the fire......

The 2011 event isn't intended to be so track-focused of course (oops!): more like an RTT in style but hopefully with plenty of evening and incidental fun in an area with various choices.

One thing that's emerged is an intent to have better communication among the groups re. G2G's etc. anyway. International links are strengthening well already.

Being (as I've been pointedly reminded) TDM-less for some time now, I'm living in a strange limbo-land on this matter of planning an international get-together, on the one hand hardly comfortable speaking for Carpe yet exppected to carry on as if I were by a bunch of really good guys from a number of other countries. I'll come back to that in a minute, but first a quick update on the situation in the absence of any other voice on the subject, and trying to avoid repeating what's been said already.

The idea was and is a good one - all-round enthusiasm indicates a potentially big gathering which has created something of a monster to manage informally, so after trying to go it alone through a combination of correspondence on the French TDM website and Skype ttelephone conversations (up to 7-ways!) it's come to the point of sending out an appeal to tourist agencies in the Black Forest and adjacent areas to see if they can help to coordinate things, hoping for a response by January 25th. That will help to finalise the best choice of venue to cater for various tastes, and allow a start to be made on planning the "meat of the meet" - in other words get down to making it a meeting worth travelling to.

There's been no "elitist thinking" in this - it just started out as a bunch of guys trying to represent the larger masses and reporting back as progress was made. But it's been difficult to keep it together and moving forward, and more general involvement will be needed though the brunt of the effort will have to come from TDMers local to the area - i.e. mainly the German- and French-based groups. Carpe needs to sit at the table as a regular voice in the discussions. In my position as described, and healthwise I've overstayed my time, and am certainly unlikely to be at the meeting as and when it happens, given the way my biking prospects are deteriorating. Typing left-handed is a pain, and I'm tired and forgetful as part of the condition. So I'm seeing myself moving out of the game though I'm still enthusiastic about the concept and hope it does actually happen, especially after all the energy that's already gone in. I'm not sure what will be required when the cards come in around January 25, but I hope there will be enough support from here (as there surely will be from the other countries) to discuss ideas and make it all come true. Again I'll say to anybody who's shy about language issues that the agreed language is English and the other countries' reps (France, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece) all speak it very well.

'Scuse the typos. See you.

Ian

Me...lost, when the satnav knows exactly where I am?? tongue.gif

I really didn't intend my previous post to sound as pathetic as it does. There's a great feeling about the impromptu group at the centre of things, though there's a long way to go with not much time, and I've just been getting frustrated that I haven't the physical or mental energy and stamina to handle things as well as they deserve, so it would be be reassuring to know that one or more TDMers ( particularly people who will actually attend the meeting) will find time to represent Carpe in discussion, capture opinions votes & decisions and help maintain the links. I'm not trying to cop out but I do feel very uncomfortable these days and am frankly looking for a real Carpe presence. As I've said, UK input is low-key (but important), since naturally it will be people who are local to the meeting area who will have to shoulder the real work. Prepare yourselves for further activity......

I've been scrolling through the postings, and apologise if I've missed it, but are there any proposed dates yet or is that still to be agreed?
