TEXT OF ORIGINAL INVITATION
*******************************************************************************
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is our pleasure to announce the opportunity to collaborate with us during the „Second Annual Festival of Antique Automobiles – Norblin 2006”, which will take place on May 21-22 on the grounds of the Museum of Industry, the former Norblin Factory, on 51/53 Żelazna Street in Warsaw.
Once again, the Technical Museum, together with the FSO Auto Klub Society are undertaking the organization of the large two-day open-air event dedicated to the subject of automotive history, the Festival of Antique Automobiles.
This is a type of moving exhibition in which the antique cars are driven around, and you can take rides in them, examine the interiors, as well as talk about the wonderful years of Polish motoring history. During the course of the Festival, many exciting events take place, such as contests, demonstrations, film shows, a used-parts market, as well as meetings with eminent personalities of the automotive world and faculty of the Warsaw Technical University’s Automotive Vocational School #1, located on 88 Hoża Street.
Our exhibition garners the attention of enthusiasts and automotive buffs alike, as well as hoards of young children, who, along with their parents and sometimes grandparents, arrive in great numbers to see our Polish motoring history. For many people visiting the Festival, it’s a sentimental trip back in time to a forever-lost bygone era.
We are inclined to continue these festivals, urged on by the impressive attendance during past events, as well as relatively great interest shown by the media and positive sentiment shared by the city’s leaders that such events are vital for Warsaw.
During the course of May 2005’s First Annual Festival of Antique Automobiles, more than 1800 people came to see the attraction, and during the End of Season Festival in October, we counted over 1100 people, which we consider a huge success, considering all the other competing automotive-related events taking place at the same time in Warsaw and the surrounding areas, not to mention the poor weather.
Our permanent media sponsers are, among others, Echo Miasta, GT Classicauto, TVP3, Polskie Radio, Motor, Samochody Specjalne, Automobilista, and Super Express, while the Mayor of Warsaw’s Wola District and the Board of Management of FSO S.A. have both stepped up as honorary patrons.
Some of the other organizations who have insisted on working with us include the FSO Automobile Factory (Fabrykę Samochodów Osobowych S.A.), Club of Friends and Workers of FSO (Klub Przyjaciół i Pracowników FSO), Warsaw Technical University Division of Automobiles and Machine Tools (Politechnika Warszawska-Wydział Samochodów i Maszyn Roboczych), Kardan Club of Antique Automobile Enthusiasts from SGGW (Klub Miłośników Starej Motoryzacji Kardan z SGGW), as well as Experts from the Polish Automotive Association (Rzeczoznawców z Polskiego Związku Motorowego).
We are convinced that the planned exhibition will attract not only more publicity, but gleaned from the experience of past festivals, this event will be much more broadly disseminated and advertised. As with the previous editions, the full income from all ticket sales will be earmarked for the conservation and restoration of the Technical Museum’s automotive exhibits, which is being carried out on an ongoing basis by the members of the FSO Auto Klub Society, completely free of charge.
Up to this point, using these proceeds, we have managed to refurbish and repair many automobiles, from a 1917 Ford Model T to a 1957 Mikrus, 1984 Beskid, and 1977 Ogar.
I’d like to present to you the schedule of events planned for the Second Annual Festival of Antique Automobiles, with the expectation that this exhibition will arouse your interest and convince you to take part in the support of this noble historical event.
