[Pim]

Dear Rover 75 and MG ZT friends,

The Club Seventyfive is organizing a meeting on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 October 2023 in NL in South Limburg. The program is as follows:

Saturday, October 7, 2023:
• 12:00 noon: lavish lunch in the Biesenhof https://www.biesenhof.nl/ near Geleen.
• 3 pm: guided tour through the former headquarters of NATO – NATO under the Cannerberg in Maastricht. NATO has used the quarry as a war and training headquarters and since 1956 the complex has been subject to the State Secrets Act. As a result of the increased tensions during the Cold War, the headquarters was permanently staffed in 1963, day and night, seven days a week. The complex was an important communications center for NATO.
Air defense and offensive military operations for the northern half of West Germany were coordinated here. A very interesting insight into the history of the Cold War!
Duration of the guided tour: ± 2 hours.
• 6 pm: check in at Rolduc https://rolduc.com/ . In the evening 3-course dinner and open end. There is a very nice bar under Rolduc in the vaults.




Sunday, October 8, 2023:
• Extensive breakfast in Rolduc.
• 10.00 am: City walk through Sittard. Sittard is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands and has had city rights since 1243. The city has a rich and beautiful history. The city walk is very varied with a visit to Fort Sanderbout https://www.visitzuidlimburg.nl/te-.....d-fort-sanderbout/100918/ , visit to the ancient churches, the secret gardens including the Mariapark (this will be opened exclusively for us) https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariapark_(Sittard)
• ± 12.00 closing lunch; location Castle Elsloo in Elsloo.
• ± 2.00 pm farewell to the participants.
