EU Mid Europe Mid Europe Spring Meetup 2025 from May 9th to May 11th, 2025

[El-Dracho]

After three great Mid Europe Spring Meetups in recent years, I have already arranged for 2025 that we can be back on the beautiful site in the Odenwald. So, save the date and RSVP here in the Rally Point. As always, places are limited for the known reasons.

Wow, Only 24 hours have passed and almost half of the available places are already taken! That's great! Awesome community.

That‘s the proof for a good organized event with nice people.

Great, nearly fully booked.

So, with regard to workshops and courses we will have the 2nd part of our orientation and navigation outdoors workshop with @NotGumby . Thanks for volunteering for this again, Rick.

I would like to have at least one more workshop, please. Who is up for something to contribute? Or who has an idea for a workshop and then we'll see if we can find someone qualified to do it?

A short list from my head of what we have already done in recent years:

• CPR refresher
• First Aid Kit
• Dieselheater
• Stop the bleed
• Fire workshop
• Microgoaling and other strategies to master situations
• Comms
• Outdoor ethics
• Spareparts and tools

 

[El-Dracho]

Wow, the Spring Meetup is fully booked. That's mega great.

If you still want to participate, please write me a message via the forum or the app and I will create a list of latecomers and if places become available, the people on the list will move up.

And a kind request. Those who have RSVPed and know that they won't be attending after all, please cancel in good time so that others have the chance to take part.

Thank you,
Bjoern

So, a little update on the planned workshops at the meetup.

Unfortunately, the second part of the orientation workshop with @NotGumby had to been canceled this year. But we are looking forward to it next year and there are two really good workshops coming up at the meetup this year.

@XC70_OVERLANDER and @B.Kuehn are volunteering to contribute something. Thank you both for your commitment.

There will be a workshop on staying fit on overlanding trips with @B.Kuehn and one on outdoor ethics with @XC70_OVERLANDER .

For those of you who have been at the Spring Meetup before, you know that such workshops and training sessions thrive on participation. So please bring your ideas, questions and suggestions!

I'm looking forward to it,
Bjoern
