Programme of the 10th International German 2CV Meeting in 2024
Welcome!
The organisers have put together a fine and colourful programme, but there is still room for improvement.
All participants are cordially invited to get involved, either with their own projects or as a club - for example at the degustation on Saturday afternoon.
Talk to us please.

Floating 2CV - up for auction
A special event is the swimming duck. Just like at the first Germany Meeting, we want to bring a 2CV onto the water again. For this purpose, we have been offered a white 2CV6, white, year 88, which was decommissioned in 2010 but - we have been assured - has by no means rusted away. Thanks to the donors who do not wish to be named.
The 2CV will be auctioned off on Saturday evening at the meeting for a social cause in the town of Gedern.
Nobody buys the ‘duck in a bag’ (modified German proverb), so it will be auctioned on
Thursday 01.08. in the morning to be viewed in detail
Thursday 01.08. in the afternoon spent on the water as our landmark
Saturday 03.08. taken off the water at noon/afternoon and be part of the vehicle exhibition (second chance to view!)
Saturday 03.08. in the evening, during the break between the two bands, the 2CV will be auctioned off.
If you are interested, please pack a little more ‘small change’ than usual. The duck can stay in the camping park afterwards, but should be picked up at some point, otherwise it will learn to fly...

Riddle of the day
From Wednesday evening to Saturday evening, Diddi will be giving out our four daily puzzles from the stage.
They really aren't easy to solve, they're so tricky that you just have to know!
Don't worry, the solutions are not to be found via search engines, you have to be fit to solve the puzzles.
Of course, the target group is also children, so the clue is not just for worried parents, the solution to the puzzle can be found on the grounds of the entire camping park around Lake Gedern.
Of course, the first person to tell Diddi - and only Diddi - the absolutely correct solution to one of the riddles by Saturday evening will receive a prize.

Perseids, planets and prominences
With a clear starry sky and a new moon at the time of our meeting, amateur astronomer Mr Saame invites us to go for a night walk in as dark a corner as possible. It is the time of the Perseids, the meteor stream that is now at its peak in August. We are sure to see shooting stars and lots of satellites. But you can also see the first planets again, says Mr Saame. There will also be exciting things to hear and see about zodiac signs and the summer triangle. Mr Saame is an expert on the sun and, weather permitting, will bring his special telescope with him.
Weather? Information on when and where we start is available at the DET information tent.
Fee? A hat goes round.
