Hello there,

This message is intended as a heads up for our 60th Liberation event this September;

As you will no doubtly know this year it's sixty years ago that operation Market Garden took place. To keep the memory alive and to celebrate that the region Eindhoven - Son was liberated sixty years ago the club WHEELS is organising;

A big Liberation-camp from the 13th until the 19 th September 2004. This camp is intended for as well as vehicle-, militaria collectors and radio amateurs as for living History groups.

It goes without saying that all this applies to equipment and groups from the period 1940 till 1945. The camp will be located in the community Son & Breugel, one of the well-known places where at the start of operation Market Garden paratroopers were dropped. The camp will be set up along one of the former dropzones, partially on pastureland partially in the woods.

The camp has got a double function:

1) A living camp where guests and visitors can see how our liberators lived and worked during those days, sixty years ago.

2) By presenting a full program giving the participants the possibility to participate in or being present at the different liberation activities that take place in the southern part off Holland.

Naturally there will be enough facilities on the camp such as sanitary facilities.

For tank owners or other tracked/heavy vehicle owners there is an arena on site were you can enjoy yourself to the full and where demonstrations can take place.

Make sure you are there; send you entry form in today.

Don't just look at it participate actively. You won't regret it.

See our website www.clubwheels.nl for more info and our programm or to download an entry form.

If you don't appreciate receiving this message we apologize.
Don't worry this is a one off message.

With regards,

Danny Bosma
