Secret Handshake?

Right folks,

I'm going to the Halifax VW show - see http://www.volksmaniacs.co.uk/

Whoever else is going - we need a way to recognise each other!

Black handkerchief tied round right knee?  Big sign that says - "I'm a Mk1 Owners .org and I'm proud"?  All forum users to go dressed as Daleks?

Any better suggestions - PLEASE help (my idea's are't to practical - I know).

Anyway - if you are in the camping bit on Saturday night - I'll be in the light blue Fiat 900E but don't come over drunk and singing at 2am or I'll not be best pleased!!

Hope to see some of you there,


Steve

If we all do a dance around that Fiat we'll all know who we are! Singing She will be loved by maroon 5!  

I retract that last statement!  8O

Or just chanting "We know what you're doing!"

Cool a VW show in Yorkshire now we're taking! I'm definately going  

How about everyone thats going post on here, we can exchange numbers and ring each other when we get there.

I'm not giving Kins my number - he'll become a nuisance caller for all the comments I've made about "that shirt"  

Good idea though Kins

If you are in Halifax that weekend and are interested in cars this is on in Heden Bridge (about 35 mins out of Halifax)

A Vintage Weekend in Hebden Bridge

 or from another site;

Only ever been to Sunday vintage one but if weather is sunny it's a great day out and the other half will be happy to look round the town of Hebden Bridge.

I'm ushering at a friends wedding on Sunday in Halifax but don't think the bride will be happy about me and groom visiting car shows whilst hes supposed to be having his ball and chain fitted. 8O

We could all wear gumby/grandad style knotted handkerchiefs on our heads...

Is there some correlation between the term 'Big Summer Bender' and 'that shirt?!'

Any news on planned club events?

Ouch - meow!!

Yes, there's one at Gaydon on the 28th August! :wink:  :y:

Seriously tho, concious of this but there have been various reasons why setting the club up and gearing towards event attendance hasn't been as quick as we would have liked.  At present, most energy is going into getting the press and traders to attend the show and ensuring Gaydon is a success again.

realistically, full club 'participation' at most events is something that will happen 2006 onwards - plus of course I am still looking at our little 'Nurby' excursion.

So, in answer to your cutting question! things are still happening behind the scenes, it's just all taking a little longer than hoped for
