European Event of the Year
The 2020 event in Germany had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus. Those who prefer event refunds will be compensated in full by the German club. Direct bookings with the nominated event hotels will also be refunded in full. Those who used third party companies to book will need to obtain their refund from those third parties. The German club informed us two days ago that around 10% of entrants were requesting refunds rather than reserved bookings for next year. Any spare places will be offered to those on this year’s waiting lists before general bookings are opened.
The MG Club of Portugal club kindly agreed to stand back from the 2021 event and let the German club run their cancelled event instead. The EEOTY in 2021 will therefore be the same event as originally planned.
For 2022 the event will be hosted by the Belgian club. The 2023 event will be hosted by our Danish club and will mark the start of the marque centenary year. The MG Club of Portugal will host the 2024 EEOTY in May 2024 which will therefore take place towards the end of the centenary year. This event will benefit from lower temperatures and cheaper hotels. There will also be one non-driving day. The organizing club is not the same as the other Portuguese club which organized the Porto event.

EEOTY – 2021
The EEOTY 2021 is being held near Lisbon. There are some differences with previous years which have been incorporated in order to take account of difficulties raised at previous events. The main difference is that the Lisbon event will take place in May and not the usual August. There is also one complete non-driving day. The precise details are yet to be revealed, but below you will find an update newsletter from the organisers. Feel free to contact them, especially Isabel, as English is not an issue for them.

EEOTY 2021
Some preliminary information is available from the Portuguese club for their event in 2021. A reminder, the event is in May instead of the usual August. It will be cooler and the hotels will be cheaper. There will be at least one non-driving day.
