Even the Presidents from all the National Club's really don't know where the venue is for the following years Euro until the meeting at each Euro Jamboree each year. The LC Italy had previously indicated Monza until the meeting in Germany confirmed Adria, then weeks later a local/Regional Lambretta Club in Italy came up with the Monza event.
However this 'needing to know' years ahead (so I can get the wife/partner/friend to fly out and attend) could really backfire should (when) the host club limit the event to a lower number than expected. No point booking anything until you have confirmed you have a ticket for the event, and this will never be until January of the year of each Jamboree.
Anything in print on this Forum, or elsewhere on social media, ahead of the Presidents Meeting at each Euro is simply pure speculation. If you want an example, then Adria is perfect. There were loads of people that had accommodation already booked in Monza and plane tickets pre-booked.
There's an argument that the more distance from an airport, so that attendees primarly have to ride there, the better. Unless we want to attend a Euro Jamboree where all but a handful actually ride their lambretta's there and back??? Not my ideal thinking of what a Euro Lambretta Jamboree is all about??
Those that attended Adria had the chance to find out quite a lot of information about next years Euro in Spain, the Spanish LC had a stall on the Saturday and were more than happy to provide details/flyers to those that stopped by and had a natter (they even had a nibbles and wine party during the afternoon - & very nice it was too).
Maybe these events have simply become too popular, and possibly their are now more attending not by riding a lambretta, that those that do?? Which is sad, in my humble opinion.
