REGISTRATION FEE CLARIFICATION and AIRPORT PICK-UP PROCEDURE
Good morning colleagues!
Just for the record the following should finally clarify who has to pay the registration fee.
My initial intent was to expect only car drivers to pay (members or guests).
However - three things have happened:
1. So many more cars are now participating that we cannot convoy them to events in the city and need a bus or maybe two buses - which charge by the passenger, distance and hours.
2. More drivers are bringing family or passengers than I expected - who want more bus runs or flexible transfer times - so my per person costs are going up - although the projected driver count stays the same.
3. Our group is so large and arrival times so dispersed that we will be providing a bar and food during registration Friday afternoon (which is again a per-person expense) and possibly a local folk band on the hotel terrace.
If this upbeat, happy trend continues the driver and guest fee may have to be extended to per person including adult family members (excepting only children.)
The offset is that I was able to get single rates for double rooms and we are still way under past rally participation fees.
Hope my original calculations will cover the final costs - but if not I may have to ask for a registration fee upon arrival - from all adults who attend as family members or spouses.
NOTE 1 - Yes - we will pick you up at the airport - please send me the airline name, flight number and arrival time at VIE APT along with your handy number - when you land call me immediately when you leave the aircraft at 0043-664-1230365. Then get your luggage, go through customs and our driver will be waiting for you at the terminal exit with a BMW RALLY sign. The hotel is only 35-40 minutes from the airport.
NOTE 2 - Yes - you do have to pay the 50 EURO registration fee - if you are a passenger of a member and you are an 8er.org club member - but you are not family (I still have to pay for you.) Yes - all adult guests - with or without a car have to pay the registration fee to participate. That is what I meant by - no free ride or entry - even for members.
Keep smiling and thanks for your patience.
Cheers, Jack R-DAY - 59
Hi Kuhni -
Yes - we will pick you up at the airport - please send me the airline name, flight number and arrival time at VIE APT along with your handy number - when you land call me immediately when you leave the aircraft at 0043-664-1230365. Then get your luggage, go through customs and our driver will be waiting for you at the terminal exit with a BMW RALLY sign. The hotel is only 35-40 minutes from the airport.
Yes - you do have to pay the 50 EURO registration fee - you are a passenger of a member, and your are 8er.org club member - but you are not a family member of a paying member - and I still have to pay for you.
That is what I meant by - no free ride or entry - even for members.
Thank you for asking - and your concern to do the right thing my friend.
See you soon, Jack
Thanks Dieter!
Thanks Roman
Hi Maik - Don't see you on the hotel list - are you still coming? Cheers, Jack
Good morning troops -
Just for the record, my French is not as good as my English, German, Croatian, Polish, Russian or Latin - but I can read - and don't appreciate public insults...
If anyone thinks our 8er.org RALLY event is a "SWINDLE" - then they should not participate.
In fact, if that uninvited and non-member person does show up to register - she will NOT be admitted.
On a happier note - thanks for your quick response on payments - 10% collected - only 90% to go.
R-Day - 63
Best wishes, Jack
Thanks Tristan - see you there mate! Don't forget to bring titi...

Hi Armin -
Cool plan for the RIESENRAD...
How many ALPINA cars will you have at the RALLY?
Can you nominate one of your ALPINA drivers to act as one of three JUDGES for the category BEST ALPINA?
I will be one of the judges and the BMW Baden manager will be the third judge.
Cheers, Jack

BMW 8er.org VIENNA RALLY 2013 – REGISTRATION FEE INSTRUCTIONS
R-DAY - 62
The current registration fee is 50 EURO per CAR DRIVER or NON-MEMBER GUEST.
Family members of registered members attend free.
Note that my original intent based on a small projected group of circa 20 cars/30 person was not to charge any fee – however – given that we are now a very large group of circa 80+ cars/ 120+ persons confirmed - the fee is required to cover our administration, transportation, clerical, awards, reception and project costs.
No fee – no membership – no sponsorship by a member = NO ADMISSION.
Note that the program includes a LOTTERY for several MEDION NAVI and BMW prizes as well as an AWARDS CEREMONY with TROPHIES on SUNDAY MORNING for the following categories:
PLEASE INSURE THAT WE RECEIVE YOUR FEE NOT LATER 30 APRIL!
