On Sunday, November 29th, it’s time for the penultimate event of the year. This
time, we’ve shifted the day’s schedule a bit earlier to stay ahead of the increasingly early sunset. In short: you’ll need to get out of bed a little sooner, but you’ll also be back home earlier, feeling fully satisfied with the day.
Louwman Museum
We kick off at 10:00 AM at the Louwman Museum, home to the finest collection of vintage cars in the country—a real treat for any enthusiast! We’ll aim to park as many of our GCCC vehicles as possible in the museum forecourt, making for a perfect cover photo for the magazine. Any cars that don’t fit (or arrive later) can be parked in the underground garage beneath the museum; it’s all very straightforward. Parking costs € 4.50 per hour, up to a maximu
m of € 12.50.
There is currently a temporary exhibition on display: The Bulls of Lamborghini.
Between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM, we’ll be welcomed with coffee or tea and a ‘pastel de nata’, followed by a visit to the museum until approximately 12:30 PM.
Ride
After that, we’ll head out on a scenic drive from Wassenaar to Noordwijk—taking a few interesting detours along the way—arriving at 2:00 PM for a group lunch. The program concludes promptly at 4:00 PM, at which point we’ll head home.
Please note: the starting point and the ending point are not the same.
There is a parking area near the lunch venue, though it tends to fill up quickly on pleasant Sundays. While there are other options in the immediate vicinity, you can also head a bit further into the town center to the large “Wantveld” parking lot (€10 for a day pass), where you should always be able to find a spot. This parking area is about a 5–10 minute walk from the lunch venue. Parking in Noordwijk is always subject to a fee.
What is the c
ost?
Participation fee is € 35 per person for members and € 38 per person for guests. This includes admission to the museum (€ 20) and an unlimited coffee/tea buffet served with ‘pastel de nata’. Carafes of water will also be provided.
Standard museum admission is also covered if you hold a ‘Museumkaart’, ‘VriendenLoterij VIP-KAART’, or an ‘Ooievaarspas’. If you have one of these cards, please bring it along; we can register it on-site, and you will receive a € 20 refund shortly after the event.
Lunch
The lunch provided is € 27 per person and consists of:
A tasting selection of two seasonal soups and three small sandwiches topped with:
• Smoked salmon, salmon mousse, cream cheese, and dill mayonnaise

A vegetarian option is also available.
The above includes an unlimited beverage package consisting of: coffee, cappuccino, café latte, espresso, tea, milk, and juices (any other drinks must be paid for individually).
What about my four-legged friend?
Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted to join on this occasion.
