Any owners in Kent / Sussex...
I've never been to the event so have no idea if it's any good or not, or whether it's aimed at mainly aircooled or watercooled VW's, but trawling through the internet, it appears to have been running for a few years, and does state 'VW's of all types.' Has anyone been to it in the past? Can I see the possibility of a 'Club stand' and getting some members cars on display at the event? That'd be excellent I think! Just an idea.
Reference to above. 29th Jan works well for me, although any of the other weekends are fine as well.

There were a few club stands, and the usual show cars, but a lot seemed to be modded, some very heavily. More interesting stuff in the car park……..which at least, if you drove any VW you were directed straight onto the main field, and it was free and we could park in the main field just at the side of the main show area.
It would be an ideal venue for the club, if we had a 'stand' or a particular area. There did not seem to be any restriction about driving around (guys picking up wheels, gearboxes etc) and others entering shows at the last moment…..not sure about space though, but it's a cracking great field !!!
Just check out the War and Peace Show …..http://www.thewarandpeaceshow.com/
I think there is a contact number for the guy who runs the whole thing, there was last year…..

Quick suggestion: There is a pub opposite the Hop Farm called the Blue Bell Inn, we organise another car club meet at this venue once a month. Its a decent old-fashioned pub with a big car park and its rather lovely in the Summer (the rain this time of year sucks, tho…)
If we organised a meet for the first Sunday of the month, then that would be easy to remember (and close enough after pay day to make the petrol money/beer money not a problem!!).
Whaddya think?
NO Golfs at present!!!!:-(

Good idea, we know the pub you mean……easy to find, and a good run too.
Looks like you may have 'volunteered' to arrange the first meet with the pub !!!!!!
Whatever date is set there are bound to be a couple who can't make it, but we must make a start…………..really looking forward to meeting owners and seeing their cars.

Matters not the condition of the cars - we are not there to show off the best car - it's just getting them together……..and my white one will probably be black if it rains !!!!!

I'm looking forward to meeting fellow owners, will be good to speak to other people who actually like the cars, as oppose to most of my mates who say stuff like 'You're not wasting more money on that heap are you' yet they still like me taking them out in it in the summer!!

So 12.30 on Sunday 6th Feb at the BlueBell Inn opposite the Hop Farm, nr Paddock Wood. I'll put it in my diary now!
Fantastic!

The hop farm thing sounds good to. Prowler, do you want to follow up and organise a club stand there? Kent countryside in June should be reasonable!
Cheers,

Sounds good please go ahead and enjoy. I doubt I can get my mk1 back on the road by then, but don't let that stop you!

As to the Hop Farm, I am still trying to find the number for the organiser - now why don't I just ring up the Hop Farm and ask

Shall be spending all evenings this week working on the golf, we made some progress last night! It's booked it in for re-MOT on saturday, I'll be very annoyed if it fails again.
