This Sunday 20 January the members of the Jos Verstappen fanclub will be able to see and speak Jos themselves at the 'Fanclub meeting Jos Verstappen' in the 'Autotron' in Rosmalen (The Netherlands). The 'Autotron' is especially open for this ocassion from 2pm to 6pm. Other than for the fanclub members no one else is granted entry.

The fans have entry to the central hall in the 'Autotron', that is where all the activities around Jos will take place but also to the Automobile museum. This museum describes 115 years of automobile history. From the earliest bicycle to the T-Ford, the Willy's Jeep and the Opel Olympai to the Car of the Year 2002. Different thema parts make the overview complete: the 50s, limousines, legendary car races and the Dutch car history in the part 'Going Dutch’.For the techies there are several presentations by automotive companies.

In the central hall, where the fans can witness a true Jos Verstappen happening. What is there to do and see? Or should we say: "What isn't there?". That would make answering the question easy, we don't need to mention anythin then. Who is there? Besides Jos Verstappen, Huub Rothengatter and Raymond Vermeulen, his management team will be there. Of course the Fanclub will be there and the majority of the VIP team of this site. That's not all. The Dutch magazine Racereport will be there, photographer Frits van Eldik and also Olav Mol and Rick Winkelman of the Dutch TV channel RTL will be there. A couple of Arrows employees will keep an eye on the whole thing.

The eyes and ears of the fans will have something to deal with. RTL emphasises its presence by building large vidiwalls and show spectacular clips of Jos in the Arrows of last season. Olav Mol will have and extensive interview with Jos for RTL and Racereport on the central stage. Inbetween there are several authograph sessions with Jos. He will do this from behind one of the merchandise stands which is in the central hall. Furthermore there are stands from Two Feet who can supply you with original Jos Verstappen shoes and a stand of RaceReport. Various Jos and Formula 1 items are on display, amongst them a couple of Jos and the Arrows car.

For the ones who would like to go, remember you have to be a Fanclub member already; you can reach the 'Autotron' quite easy, both with your own car as with public transport. For more info go to www.autotron.nl and click on the button 'Informatie' (only in Dutch).
