The EOC Annual Conventions try to loosely follow a rotation of east, central, west so that hopefully every few years the meet is within a days drive of most club members. Recent sites: 2004 - St. Paul; 2005 - Portland, OR; 2006 Golden, CO; 2007 - Dearborn, MI (Joint meet with IEC & TEC). Typically a local chapter will volunteer to host an Annual Convention and their proposal and site is approved at the previous Annual Convention.

The 2008 EOC Convention will be in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada this year hosted by the Prairie Chapter.

International meets & shows

The German chapter of the Pre 50 will have it's 10th annual meeting in Stukenbrock Safaripark (between Bielefeld and Paderborn) on July 12th
and 13th. Because the first Edsels are still 50 years old, we will celebrate this double anniversary with a large parade and other events. Entry to the park is free for Pre 50 members and all others who drive up in an Edsel. Camping will be allowed in the park (tents and caravans), and for those who prefer a little more luxury there are hotels in the nearby town of Stukenbrock.

If you intend to come, please drop a note to michael@....
