Default Gothenburg 2017 trip info

Ok so I've been actively planning this for a few weeks and looking at April / may 2017 (not concrete).

This should be better than last time and a few spaces may be available.

Tuesday

Museum visit day
Evening night out in Gothenburg

Wednesday
Factory tour (full 1hr fingers crossed)
Technology and crash test centre
Lunch in factory canteen
Demo centre (longer this time and possibly trucks as well)

If your interested please let me know

Flying last time and hotel etc cost under £300 all in

22 max people and there a lot already interested

Nice pics of demo centre covered in snow

Just a bump to bear this in mind as I only take 20 max and nearly all spots gone (if not already).

Speak now or have to wait until 2019!

I hadn't realised that. I hope that I am alive and well enough to join you for the centenary should you run a trip in 2027! On reflection, our first trip to Sweden with the VOC was in 1987. We stayed at Herrfallet and visited the Gothenburg factory and museum and also the B+T Division at Boras on that occasion, which also marked Volvo's 60th and the VOC's 25th anniversaries.

Regards, John.

Be looking at 5th April 2017 and had provisional confirmation which will be confirmed at the end of the year

It's already full up and updated for info for those going, it's a killer price usually around £250 all in, children can't go to the factory
