but i still cant understand why "the mk1 owners club" always have a really under represented or hardly anyone on the stand if they do have one?
why is it? there are loads of members but no one seems to really put themselves out to arrange it or organise a "convoy" from there point of the country to all the decent shows.
i must say it seems a bit flat…shows are what its all about….there are some superb cars on this forum but it dont have to be a show stopper to be on a club stand does it?

im not being over critical i just think more people could make an effort to bring the club upto the mark so to speak
How nice would it be for any V dubber to see 20 or 30 mixed mk1`s be they cabbies or originals all lined up at a show?
I know people work and are busy with other stuff sometimes but it seems every show this year has been severely under represented, what about ultimate Dubs? mk1 car park dreams? about 5 cars rolled up……Santa pod gti festival…..again about 5 cars turned up on the stand……i just think more effort is needed

i was with g60rge, we came together
we could not find the club stand nor a group of mk1s
i was really hoping to display my car, i put alot of work in the night before (in the garage till 1.30am) but no stand was visible so i parked near some others and went to the main show field
i did hope to have a chat to the mk1 oc and get to know people
maybe some more organisation next time
cracking show
some very nice mk1's

Having tried to organise the Ultimate Dubs stand for March earlier this year, I found it quite frustrating to hear the moans that our alotted position was not very good. If we want to promote the club then we HAVE to book early, have owners who will commit to being present a long time in advance and get organised. I began to canvas for owners who would be interested, some time around October/November 06 for the 07 show. Its no good just expecting to arrive on the day, find it pouring with rain and complain about being outside. We CAN have an inside stand but only if we guarantee to turn up and fill it.
Its not fair to expect to be given a position only to let the organisers down.

Even still, we do need commitment from people earlier in order to book up the club space.

a very similar conversation was had at action.

Both shows' organisation started pre- Ant5 (Anthony and Claire) being the events organisers. Since this is the last main show of the year (I think??) I'd suggest we now look to make constructive suggestions on how to approach next year's events, given that there are A LOT of them through the year and its not possible for everyone to be at every one of them.
VW Action wasn't really designed to have club displays, it was more a case of club camping, so they didn't accommodate people arriving on the Sunday for the day, to park in the club camping/club stand area. I was surprised it was around 90% aircooled, I thought it was going to be 50/50 or so. I guess those aircooled guys all like to camp over and dress up in fancy dress, etc. Or tune their cars to make them 12 second dragsters…

I think it would be quite reasonable to expect 20 cars to turn up from all that are on the forum?
It just means that anyone who puts their name down really does need to make the effort to attend as the places would have been booked
Sometimes peoplear eput off as they think their cars not good enough or they are worried about strangers!!!!
Dont forget a lot of strangers are just friends you havnt met yet!! :wink:
