Jeep Club Deutschland

Dear Jeep friends from the Netherlands, this year 2010 will be the last time, that we organise the German Jeep Camp in Ballenstedt. We've been there for 13 years and everything was o.K., but the offroad-area got a new manager there last year and there ist no teamwork possible between him and the German Jeep Club. For example, he raises the costs for more than 30% and gives a lot of difficulties for the organisation team, so we decided to say "goodbye Ballenstedt" after the event this year. We are preparing a newe location for the next year's event - but for this year the time was too short to change over. The Jeep Camp 2010 in Ballenstedt will start Friday, May 21st and will end Monday, 24th - the Campground will be opened from Thursday, May 20th. We have some new ideas for this year, and hope, some of our Jeep friends from the Netherlands will find the way to Ballenstedt and will celebrate together with us the "Ballenstedt Goodbye-Party 2010". The plan for the programme and the registration you'll find below: Because I do not know, whether the Link will really work here, here come the Link to the Programme and Registration in our German Forum: http://www.jeep-club.com./cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=01;action=display;num=1271410477 We wish a good Trip to Ballenstedt and hope to meet you there!

Dear Jeepfriends from Holland! Our annual Jeep Camp in Ballenstedt will happen from May, 29th to June 1st, traditionally the long weekend called "Pfingsten". A lot of members of the Jeep Club Netherlands had been there the last years, and we are pleased to see you again as our good friends this year too. Remember: you are always welcome in our great Jeep-Community, no matter of the colour of the license-plate... The last years, we had a special "Orange Campground" for you, but on this area are now some Buildings. But - if you want - we can reserve another special Campground for the Dutch Jeepers. You can travel and arrive too on thursday, 28th. The Camp will be open, and toilets and showers will work ... This year we'll make a Roadbooktour to the Offroadpark Oschersleben: remember the numerous mudholes and waterholes there:whistle:... Today, we sent the registration papers by e-Mail to your Club-Office, so you can ordern the registration sheets from there. Of course, you can order directly from us by mail: jeep-club@t-online.de . We check our e-Mails at least twice a day, so you'll get the answer within a few hours. So, visit our German Jeep Camp to Ballenstedt, and have a long nice weekend together with friends and all these great Jeep-Enthusiasts - you are always welcome! Hope to see many of you: old friends and new jeepers! Best regards, Peter Sander, JCD-President

Mit großer Trauer mußten wir heute erfahren, daß unser guter Freund Ruud kurz vor seinem 60. Geburtstag das Ende seines Lebenswegs erreicht hat. Vor 17 Jahren lernten wir Ruud in Bouillon kennen, und über die Jahre entwickelte sich ein gutes Vertrauensverhältnis zwischen uns. Ruud dachte genauso wie wir und so bedurfte es nicht immer vieler Worte, um übereinzustimmen. Dabei lag ihm immer die Marke Jeep sehr am Herzen und natürlich seine Jeeper, die so wie er und viele andere von uns diesen speziellen Lifestyle lieben. Das versuchte Ruud immer in den gemeinsamen Zusammenkünften der internationalen Jeep Clubs zu vermitteln und durchzusetzen. Wir alle haben eine der ganz großen Persönlichkeiten der internationalen Jeep-Szene verloren. Ruud weilt nicht mehr unter uns, aber sein Spirit wird uns immer begleiten und Ruud wird immer in unseren Herzen der lebenslustige, verläßliche Freund sein, als den wir ihn kennenlernen durften. Unser Mitgefühl gilt besonders seiner Frau Maria und seinen Kindern, denen wir in dieser schweren Zeit viel Kraft wünschen. Im Namen der Mitglieder des Jeep Club Deutschland, Peter Sander Vorsitzender

Dear Jeepfriends from the Netherlands, yes, it`s really true: 51 Jeeps from Holland - new record! Also the total number of Jeeps: we confirmed 325 Jeeps - there will be a very big party! We will make reservation for 2 Campgrounds on the site, one smaller areal near the entrance (same areal as the last years) and one larger areal in the meadows down in the offroad-circuit just besides the "Diggers". The Diggers - a Jeep Club from the North-West of Germany - celebrates a big Karaoke-Party on Friday Night. So be prepared... Nice to meet you all - you`re very welcome, an I wish you a good Journey. We`ll see us at Ballenstedt. Jeep Club Deutschland Peter Sander President
