RE: [doc] Eurofest 2002

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

Mike,

There is no Eurofest this year. They are not an annual events.
The 2001 was a special "20th" anniversary event. The one before that was
1997 ( I think ) There was another prior to that.

Robert Lamrock and Dave Howarth, (with a little help) are the main
organisers.

Each and every time they organise one, they say "This is going to be the
last one! We don't want to go through all that again!"

However as time moves on, and memories fade, people start to think it may be
a good time to organise another one. The next obvious date would be the
25th anniversary of the first production car in 2006.

Any thoughts yet Robert?
