Clubs Newsletter – October 2012

Dear fellow Saab Club…
As you will know, Great Britain is hosting the 2013
International Meeting of Saab Clubs. Those of you who were
at the 2012 meeting in Spa will have heard that it will take
place on August 2-4 at Wicksteed Park in Kettering, which is
in the East Midlands area of England, surrounded by rolling
countryside and picturesque English villages.

We chose this venue because it offers a huge variety
of family entertainment, as well as good quality
camping facilities and excellent catering. We also
trialled the venue for our 2012 National Rally (above
photo).
It is very easy to access from all major ports. We are
working hard to ensure that the 2013 “International”
is a family event that appeals to everyone, not just
the Saab enthusiasts!

Our full programme is still under development, but
we will publish details as soon as possible. In the
mean time we wanted to give you early sight of the
kinds of things we have planned, which we hope will
tempt you to bring your whole family and spend a
pleasant holiday here in Great Britain…
