Annual Gathering Show and Shine Winner 2024

With 2024 being the 50th anniversary of the Mk1 Golf, VW rightly took their press car to Wolfsburg for the GTI FanFest gathering. We weren't forgotten about though because they kindly provided us with 4 cars instead!!! A black Mk1 Golf GL, the red Mk1 Golf Cabriolet, a white Mk3 Golf and new 8.5 Golf.   
The cars are provided to us without charge to the Club and with them a lot of trust that no damage will come to them. The Team are really proud that the members respect the cars, and each others, so that they are returned as they arrived.

This year's Drive-Out took us to Gaydon Motor Museum and the Club provided free entry for the member (with a little help from Peter James Insurance!!).
This year the tally for the Drive-Out cars was - 47 hatchbacks, 43 Cabriolets, 0 Caddys, 2 Mk2 Golfs, 1 Beetle and 1 Scirocco. Mk1 total = 90 which is more than then past 4 years! Really good turn out.
Once a good look round had been completed it was back to the racecourse for tea and fancy dress.
As usual the weather had a brief change and a heavy shower came in but blew through quickly thankfully.

Below are the winners of the various categories.
