I am hoping to get a minimum of 2 there, but my winter goal is to have 4 ready to attend, a tall order but we'll see.
    Had 624 first thing today.

    just thought i'd get this post going again, the facebook group is now upto 833 confirmed Volvo's attending. That doesn't include people taking more than 1 car, or obviously those not on Facebook. 1200 cars has been mentioned by those in charge, so its going to be an amazing day

    If the organisers can get everybody onto the venue and lined up in time...???....I hope they can as I will be investing quite a large amount just in fuel to help the cause, I hope to run 4 volvo's that day and I hope we can smash the record.

    It's a shame that it failed to beat the record (*), but here's to the 2020 attempt.

    (*) not recognised by Guinness World Records.

    Guinness denied the record attempt, It was deemed that the spacing between the cars on the parade lap was excessive and therefore it didn't count.

    GWR page confirms Poland meeting record still stands.

    I believe another attempt is being planned for 28th June 2020.

    Not sure I'll bother after last times fiasco, the goal posts were moved and no one was told we were trying for 2 different records than the one we were orginallly going for, so when the cars moved off by line and not all together as we originally were informed, then no one knew what was happening and no wonder there were big gaps....total waste of a day and the fuel too.....very disappointed in the organisation tbh
