16th Volvo meeting of the Volvo Stammtisch Schleswig-Holstein
04.10.2023Somewhat smaller, but "much finer" and in new surroundings, the 16th Volvo meeting of the Volvo Stammtisch Schleswig-Holstein traditionally took place again at the Wildpark Eekholt in September 2023.
Despite great heat, we were allowed to welcome this year 145 cars on the new site, which, however, offered enough shady places. Among them also some Saabs, which are always welcome. Swedes stick together!
The meeting has become a fixed date in the calendar of many Volvo enthusiasts in Northern Germany and beyond. Almost all models were represented. Predominantly however the "historical" 444/544, Duetts, Amazons of any type and any number. Of course 144, 244/45, 164, P 1800/ES, 480, 740 were again very strongly represented!
As at the meetings of the last years, there was also a faithful replica of a Swedish police car. Of course, driver and co-driver appeared in style in original police uniforms.
All visitors could also enjoy the participation of a rare Volvo L3315 (Valp) from Kiel.
The majority of the participants came again from the 5 northern German states, but also Volvos from North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg were present. We were also very happy about the visit of our friends from Kolding (DK) (see below), Sweden and the Netherlands.
From our sponsor Zeltverleih Sievers from Schmalfeld a very generous tent - with a complete interior - was erected. Thus again a perfect possibility for catering and sufficient place for interesting technical discussions could be offered.
The catering offer was lively used from the start and offered a rich selection of grilled sausages, fresh coffee, home-baked cake and different, cooled soft drinks. Through the give-aways provided, lovingly packed welcome bags could be handed over to the arriving guests.
The Volvo-Stammtisch Schleswig-Holstein would like to thank especially the Wildpark Eekholt, which again offered us the opportunity to hold our event in this setting. Many thanks!
As a small thank you, the Volvo-Stammtisch Schleswig-Holstein has taken over from now on, an animal sponsorship. In the absence of a moose, we support the breeding and care of a white deer. With a visit of the game park looks nevertheless gladly once with our godchild past.
We very much hope that next year, by renting an additional area, we will again be able to sell parts to the usual extent.
Many hard-working helpers, also behind the scenes, took care of the good organization, the set-up, the parking lot instruction as well as the catering of the guests and thus contributed to the success of this event to a high degree. As a reward for this, we received many very positive comments from the visitors. We were very pleased about this!
"We will be back next year!" was often heard.
Nice place, great Volvo mix. Many thanks to the organizers
Local meeting in northern Germany, organized by Volvo Stammtisch Schleswig-Holstein. Big thanks to the organizers for a great day."
The Volvo Stammtisch Schleswig-Holstein thanks and is very pleased that this event is so extraordinarily positively received by all guests and has thus become probably one of the largest private Volvo meetings in Germany.
Until September 2024
