MLU @ Normandy 2019 meet up: 4 June
Like in 2014, a merry band of Dutch and Czech people - all with a preference for Canadian and British military history - will be camping at the Batterie de Longues.
I will be there during the first week of June and I was wondering if any members on here are interested in a MLU meeting? Nothing formal, just a "cars & coffee" style get together. Would Monday 3 June be a suitable date? Please let me know if you are willing to join us and if the date suits you. Hope to meet you soon! Hanno 18835906_464967450507135_6874324623414213988_n.jpg

Hello Nicholas,
That’s good to hear. Yes, putting faces to names, coffee and kicking some tyres, that’s what it is about. I’ll post exact details later, but let us stick to 3rd of June. Cheers, Hanno

I would love to meet up, but I am afraid I won't be there any time before early evening on Monday the 3rd.
What about late afternoon June 5th? I don't see any big events scheduled for June 5th, so far(?) Alex

MLU @ Normandy 2019 meeting: 4 June (not the 3rd)
All, we had a Longues Camp meeting today, and decided to move the MLU @ Normandy meeting to Tuesday 4 June, instead of 3rd June. This was decided so more people can attend.
So here's what we plan to do:
Note: - If you drive a non-Commonwealth vehicle, you are more than welcome, but please park your vehicle outside of the camp. - If required, bring you own food & beverages. Date: Tuesday 4 June, 10:00 - 12:00 hrs. Location: Batterie de Longues-sur-Mer Hope to see you there! Hanno

Hi Hanno,
Thanks for the invite, we'll be there with the Morris CDSW light recovery. Keep the coffee hot, it could be a slow run up. We're on the MVT tour and wouldn't mind running up with others. Cheers, Paul

The turn up this morning at the Maple Leaf Up Normandy Meet Up & Vehicle Line Up was very good with a large variety of Commonwealth vehicles turning up: Ford, Chevrolet, Leyland, Morris-Commercial, Austin, Scammell, Bedford - and then some.
For good measure a few US-built ones turned up. It is good to see so many Jeeps in British or Canadian markings these days. Sadly, I had to leave early due to other commitments, but when I was there I met many friends, matched faces to names and got to know new people. I thank you all for showing up in great numbers and making this a good day out. Please share your pictures here for all to enjoy. I’ll have to upload them later. And like James Gosling said, let’s make this a regular event! H.
