I find Norfolk rather an awkward area to get to, such a drag of a drive but must admit I haven't been over that way for some time so it'll make a nice change from some of the more usual areas used for meetings

Oxburgh Hall is another NT property that is definitely car friendly. I know the Alfa club have been there before and it was also a stopping off place on the Norwich Union run.
Can I also suggest the North Norfolk coast? There is a good road that runs from Hunstanton to Cromer.
I'm actually on the Norfolk border and know that part of the world well so happy to do some dry runs if need be.

or how about a track day at Snetterton?

Track days are not everyone's "cup of tea" and while it would be good to include some track time, I don't think just a whole day on a track is a good way to celebrate the 40th Anniversary. I certainly can't see me going round the track all day in my 3-speed automatic Trevi   Undecided Grin

But shouldn't something as important as the 40th Anniversary be more than just a drive in the country (or round a track  Huh?) for a day? If we want or expect people from the Continent to join us, the "event" needs to be at least a 2 day event or even longer. The Gamma Consortium (and presumably other Consortia as well) organise weekend events whereby most people assemble on the Friday evening at a hotel and then there's a two day programme spanning Saturday and most of Sunday. That way people can join in for the whole weekend if they want or just for one day. I'm involved in organising the annual Fiat 131 meeting (we call it the "3ma" http://www.131mirafiori.com/3ma.htm) and we decided from the first one in 2007 that it should be a four day event to make it worthwhile for people to travel.And it's worked as we've had regular attendees from France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands etc. I'm not suggesting that the Beta 40th Anniversary Celebrations should be a 4 day event (although that would be nice  Wink Cheesy) but I am suggesting that it should be a weekend event and not just a day.

Rest easy - that's pretty much what's being planned.

Isn't the whole idea to "drive" your car?

unfortunately not much hope of that I don't think it will be finished in time for Beta 40th, as said Norfolk will make a change from the more usual venues can't remember a Lancia event that way on for donkeys years (there was an AGM back in the 80s I think ??)
