Mirror meetings in Germany ? Treffen in Deutschland?

My efforts to organise JollenFlottillen in 2018 and 2019 were only partly (at least we got three Mirrors together in 2018*) successful , which was very disheartening and the corona crisis has put me off trying anew. However I have been asked whether there is a chance of organising a Mirroristi meeting in Germany and I believe that this is of course possible.
Perhaps a 2022 event would be too short notice for most folks who are not yet pensioners and have to fit their attendance to their vacation schedules, but we could try for the coming year, perhaps by joining another group's raid event (for cruisers) or simply organising a day-excursion messabout near a town where those who are not keen or camping can find a place to stay.
Let the discussion start here!

Meine Bemühungen, in den Jahren 2018 und 2019 die JollenFlottillen zu organisieren, hatten nur mäßigen Erfolg (aber immerhin waren wir 2018 zu dritt zusammen), was mich entmutigte, und dann hat die Corona-Pandemie mich davon abgehalten, einen neuen Versuch zu starten. Ich wurde jedoch gefragt, ob es möglich wäre, ein Mirroristen-Treffen in Deutschland zu organisieren und meiner Meinung nach müsste das doch möglich sein!
Unter Umständen waäre es zu kurzfristig, ein Treffen für 2022 zu organisieren, insbesondere für Diejenigen, die noch nicht Rentner sind und ihre Teilnahme mit ihren Urlaubsplänen abgleichen müssen, aber im kommenden Jahr könnten wir einen ernsthaften Versuchmachen, eventuell auch durch Teilnmahme and bestehenden Wandertouren ("Raids", für die Wasserwanderer unter Uns) oder durch ein Treffen mit Tagestouren von einem festen Standpunkt aus, an dem diejenigen die keine Camper sind eine Unterkunft finden können.
Lasst uns hier die Diskussion lostreten!

I would love to take part next year, if the post-Brexit bureaucracy allows...

Hi John! I was at University in Erlangen in the 1970s! Albeit just for one semester. Before that I worked in Fürth for 6 months... It was a lovely area, but a long way from the sea..... I hope we can meet up next year.

Hi John,
that is very interesting! Yes unfortunately it is far from the sea but there are a few small lakes in the area. I new a few students from the university in Erlangen that i got to know through the New University of Ulster sailing club in Coleraine Northern Ireland which i attended from 1976-1979. They were doing just the same as you but in Coleraine. They invited me to visit in 1979 and that is how i landed in Erlangen. Uli Aas, Jolande Hoffmann, Karin Hofmann, Conny Dietz, etc. Maybe you know a name?
I lived in Fürth for a while too - David Cunningham - English teacher? Gustav Strasse? great pubs!
my sister lives in Rustington(Little Hampton.)
Yes i thing it would be interesting somehow to get a meeting together.
Best Regards
John
