See invitation at the bottom if this post.
On June 17-19th 2011 the Norwegian international E31 meeting will be held.
We will continue to update this first post so that this is always up to date with the latest information.
The program is nearing its completion and many of the events are booked.
The main area for the meeting is on the south west coast of Norway, around the city of Stavanger.
We have made arrangements to stay at Gjesdal gjestgiveri roughly 20km south of the Stavanger center. Located in Ålgård along the E39 (main road).
See prices below.
Friday morning at 9.30 we intend to first go to the Aircraft museum, this location may prove to be a good photo opportunity.
Entry will be covered by the pre paid "Meeting fee"

After a few hours we will go to Stavanger city center and park outside the Oil museum and visit the museum.
Cost is covered by "meeting fee"

After that there will be some time off where you may roam the city of Stavanger for a few hours.
We will return to the hotel and have dinner there about 8-9 in the evening.
Saturday morning at 09.00 we will drive back to Stavanger city center and load the cars on a ferry where we will embark on a 4 hour guided fjord cruise through "lysefjorden" where we will end up in "lysebotn".
The ferry will be paid by the individuals on the terminal.
Upon arrival we will drive up this winding mountain road and park at the restaurant at the top, nicknamed "the eagles nest".
For those interested we will walk up the first mountain so that people can enjoy the view, this is not a long walk, perhaps 15 minutes.
After a while we will walk down and have dinner at the restaurant.
After dinner we will drive back down and spend the night at "lysebotn camping" where we will stay in cottages, tents or what you may choose to spend the night in.
Here there will be plenty of time to line up the cars and take a close look at each others cars.
This evening there will also be a barbecue with possibility of some drinks, and just enjoy ourselves and get to know each other even better.
There is a huge possibility that we will see base jumpers jumping off the mountain during the day.
Sunday we will drive up the mountains and through the valley of Sirdal we will return towards the main road that will take you back to the Denmark ferry I assume most of you will take back home.
We are also thinking that if there is an interest and someone stay behind we can return to the hotel and arrange a trip to the "pulpits rock" but you should be aware that this is a 1 hour mountain hike.
After the meeting we could also do an unofficial trip up the west coast viewing some truly spectacular scenery if there is any interest.
We can also cross the mountain and drive towards the Capitol of Oslo.
We are open to suggestions so let us know if you are interested in that
An updated map of possible travel routes
And a map of the area the meeting will be at.
You see the city of Stavanger as our starting point, the red line is the Fjord Cruice and the destination is the red dot.
The yellow ring indicates the area where the scenic drive will take place on Sunday.
The blue line is the return route down from the mountain which can be combined with the return trip home for those who are leaving on the ferry from Kristiansand to Denmark.
