ACI signs agreement with 2CV 2011 organizers

On Saturday October 9 Didier Parjadis, President of the ACI and Christian Courte, head organizer of the World Meeting of the 2CV 2011 signed the agreement which finalized the funding for the 2CV World Meeting scheduled for 2011 in Salbris/France. The significance of this agreement cannot be understated. First, it represents the most comprehensive agreement yet signed between the ACI and organizers of an Event of The Year. As such, the agreement represents a big step toward providing solid guidelines for event organizers and thus guaranteeing the best possible events.

Members of the Board of the ACI had the opportunity to visit Salbris and look over the site and meet with the organizers. Both were very impressive. The 70 hectare site was provided free of charge by the town of Salbris. It has some out buildings, space for all the the facilities plus thousands of campsites and space for expansion plus additional parking for visitors. Aerial photographs of the site allowed organizers to look to every detail from logistics to security and everything in between.

The really impressive part from the Board’s point of view was the organization With nine sub-groups all areas of the organization were covered from entertainment to food services. It was very obvious that the organizers were committed to holding the best event they possibly could. Congratulations to the Christian Courte and his group for what promises to be the highlight of the 2011 driving season for 2CV aficionados.

Best Regards,
John McCulloch.
