This would be really helpful! I believe it is something that is trying to be resolved for next year!

I would also like a comments section on the live footage, to make it more interactive for people watching at home and we could do shout outs

I think Katy did a fab job and it would be good if we could get more people like Katy (drivers, mechanics etc) who fancy trying something different, to be part of the commentating team!

 Hi everyone,

I have had a couple of messages asking when the dinner dance will be this year, it is booked for Saturday 19th November, at the Westmead Hotel, and it is going to be organised by Matt Hollis and Chris Hall! More information I am sure will soon follow!

Lots of love xox

Hi everyone!,

I just wanted to know if anyone had any feedback about the Dinner Dance? As we have to book far in advance (we are due to book 2023 in the not too distant future). The event for next year has already been booked for a while now. There are a few options which could be added at the current venue, such as welcome drinks, or a variation in the food offered/how it is offered.

Lots of these things may mean that the ticket prices would increase, as currently we have the least-expensive options.

It would be good to know if anyone had any thoughts on changes such as the venue/food/event in general, and things you do/don't like  ;D

If so, please get back to me, it would be good to know any views before booking  :-*

Hi everyone!
Here is the invitation for the 2021 Dinner/Dance being held on Saturday 13th November 2021 at the Westmead Hotel in Birmingham.
Please look at the attachment for the event information, along with the menu options.
Please RSVP to this event via email or text (included on the invitation and at the bottom of this post).
When returning your food choices, please include the names of those you are booking for if there are multiple people included.

Information regarding accommodation is on the invitation, I would recommend booking a room early if you are staying at the hotel, to avoid any disappointment. The hotel has previously been fully booked on the night of our event and I am unable to determine who rooms are allocated to!
I am really looking forward to seeing everyone, especially after such a long time! If there is anyone you would particularly like to sit with, please do let me know and I will do my best to accommodate this! Tables can seat up to 10 people 😊

Please note the club bank details are:

The AGM will be held on the same date, prior to our evening event at the Westmead Hotel. Further information will be supplied by the Board when it becomes available.

Hi everyone, the Dinner Dance this year is booked for Saturday 13th November at the Westmead Hotel!

I have had a few messages over the past couple of weeks and my plan is to put the formal invite out after the 24 hour race - I'm very excited to dust off the dancing shoes!  ;D

Hi everyone!

Earlier than normal to be talking about the Dinner Dance but it has been a bit of a wild year.

The Dinner Dance tends to be booked more than a year in advance, so the 2020 date has been set for a while.

With everything going on, we have been given the option to keep our booking for this year, and if the event cannot happen, the deposit that has already been paid by the club would then be moved to the date held for 2021. So the club will not lose out on money with keeping our 2020 booking.

I am very aware that there are lots of different opinions regarding what should and shouldn't be done, so please have in mind that this poll is based on the thought that it would be safe to hold this event. We just need to see about potential numbers to find out whether we would still be able to hold the event for those who would like to go. (please vote on the poll!)

The 2020 Dinner Dance would be held on Saturday 21st November. It would be very similar options for food as previous years at this venue.

Feedback I got back from last year was that it was disappointing that the bar closed early - the events manager at the hotel has put a note on our booking to say that the hotel bar will need to be kept open later for residents at the hotel, after our event has 'finished'.

We had discussed potentially having some novelty awards so that we could be inclusive to everyone going, as the season has not happened in the way that it has been planned and we know lots of people have not been able to race. If you have any ideas for these please let me know! We are all hoping that the event could just be a fun evening for everyone to see each other after so long, even if there aren't so many awards to give out (I am sure Mick can fill any gaps with lovely stories in his speech).

The hotel have saved us a date for the 13th November 2021 - I know that this may be the race of remembrance weekend, but this is the only Saturday night left in November (there have been lots of weddings that have had to be rearranged). The events manager at the hotel saved this for us without any request to do so, she had just noticed that slots were filling in fast, and that the 2CV club have been loyal to the venue for the past few years. I feel it is best to keep this date, as otherwise we would be going in to 2022 and if the 2020 Dinner Dance does not happen, it will have been a long gap.

Lets all be kind to each other and understanding that everyone has had differing experiences in this time! Also, I am a bit of a social media recluse, so please chat to any of your friends/team mates who might not see this post on the forum!

If any of you have any extra questions or ideas, please feel free to email or text me.

Apologies for the many many words to this post, as most of you know I just love a chat  :P , I hope you're all healthy and that we can see each other soon!  :-* xoxoxox

Hi, this is the updated guest list for the dinner dance. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Sorry if I have spelt anyone's names wrong!

This is the invitation for the 2019 Dinner/Dance. Attached is information for the event, as well as menu options. It's all just about the exact same as last year!

Please RSVP via email or text (both included on the invitation) and please let me know your food preferences as well as who you would like to sit next to. If you have already been in touch with me please just confirm names and food options.

Information regarding accommodation is on the invitation, I would recommend booking a room early if you are staying at the hotel, to avoid any disappointment. Last year the hotel was fully booked and unfortunately I don't have any say in who gets which rooms!
