OUR LOCATION
In 2024, the Oostblook Meeting will take place at a new location, the Glosso Circuit in Arendonk.
​
We will have a huge playground with more space, a larger parking lot for participants and visitors and improved catering and sanitary facilities.
Saturday
We will open our site on Saturday, August 31 at 9:00 am. While the site fills up with all the different Eastern Bloc wagons, you can enjoy a drink on the terrace. There will also be interesting stands to visit during our meeting, we will have a real racing show and a mini market.
​
The interactive tour starts around 11:00 am. For this year's tour we are trying to put together another virtual rally through the Eastern Bloc, with the necessary surprises along the way, and at the start of this ride we will try to give you as a participant a minute of fame, in true rally style, with of course a lap around the circuit.
​
And to end the day on a high note, we will provide a BBQ at 6:00 PM (registration required).
​
A day's participation in the Eastern Bloc Meeting on Saturday, August 31 costs only €7 and includes a road book, tour of the circuit, goodie bag, and the opportunity to win great prizes for the best ride sports teams.
​
The Eastern Bloc Meeting is free to attend (without participation in the interactive tour, road book, goodie bag, tour of the circuit, etc...).
Autokino
Coming to the Eastern Bloc Meeting is like traveling through time. Since we love film as much as we love our old cars, we had to find a way to bring them together! So we rolled up our sleeves (well, Mark and Jan!) to build a real Autokino.
​
On Friday evenings, just like in the GDR times, you will have the exclusive opportunity to park your Trabant, Wartburg or Barkas (or another) in front of our 6 meter wide drive-in cinema.
DE version, Dutch subtitles. For the audio track you need an FM radio (car radio, portable radio)... The show can also be viewed from the terrace (for our visitors with a moped, for example)
Weekend package
For those who want to camp for the whole weekend, we will provide a real pop-up campsite at the race track from Friday 14:00 to Sunday 14:00. The full weekend includes camping, 2x breakfast, BBQ, roadbook, goodie bag, etc.... at a democratic price.
​
​
For visitors who have to travel a bit further or just want to experience a fun ‘Eastern Bloc weekend’, we even offer a weekend package! For those who want to camp all weekend, we offer a pop-up campsite from Friday 2pm to Sunday 2pm.
From Saturday morning 7:00 am, we will provide a breakfast buffet in our canteen until 9:30 am, while the one-day participants arrive at the site.
The barbecue on Saturday evening is from 18:00 on the terrace.
On Sunday morning, we offer a tasty breakfast buffet in our canteen between 7:00 and 09:30.
We provide sanitary facilities and showers. Electricity is available, but power is limited to 16a for the entire campsite. We ask you not to plug in heavy electrical appliances. We also ask you to limit waste!
For those who don't want to camp but want to be there all weekend, there are numerous b&b's, hotels, motels in all price ranges in the area via Booking/AirBnb.
