Next year's club holiday - we want YOUR ideas


We need your ideas for the club's holiday next year.
These are a few we've had so far :
 France, similar to last year's trip
 France, further south
 Belgium or Germany
 Isle of Wight (will please the dog owners amongst us)
 Great Dorset steam fair (possibly with the club as an exhibit, which means it's free!)
 Scotland (brilliant but expensive)
 Spain by ferry (probably a bit expensive)

There was an idea that we do 2 holidays, different times to the year and catering for different budgets.
Any other ideas folks?
It would be nice to do a vote at some point, but we need some ideas first !

Ditto! WHS^^^ MUST include a dub show!

Maybe the Budel show in Holland in June. It is amazing!

On reflection, yes we should do a show as part of the holiday. We're a VW club after all emoticon

How come i never thought of that ?

This link (click here) is a very comprehensive listing for all the European vw shows. Have a gander. I is the 2008 one but most of the shows are annual and i imagine they will publish the 2009 one soon. I think Budel is the best by a long shot. emoticon

STOP PRESS!!!!

I've just found out that the Hessisch Oldendorf show is on next year!!!!

For those who don't know, this is reputed to be the BEST vintage VW show on the planet!

It is only on every 4 years and has some of the rareset vws ever made in attendance.

Ovals are 10 a penny, splits and barndoors are common. There are regularily a plethora of Kubelwagens, kdf wagens and Schwimmwagens. Then there are often several of the major players in the rarity scene!

How about Hebmullers? Ever seen a real one? You will at Hessisch! Romteschs, Dannhauer and Strauss' and even Drews are regular attendants!!!!

I think that is is the most obvious choice for a club holiday!!!

I'm gonna go, that's for sure!!! I'm not gonna miss this one, i've been saying i'll go for years! If you miss this one, the next will not be on until 2013!

This is the info i got from the web:

With 380 registered vehicles, hundreds of aircooled vehicles, countless visitors and over 720 participants from more than 25 nations the meeting in June 2005 was the largest vintage VW show in the world. The team of 25 people around Traugott and Christian Grundmann worked for more than 10 days before the city was set up for the show after a preparation time of just 2 years.

Following this great success, we want to prepare another great and very special show in June 2009 for all fans and friends of the classic Volkswagens: the 5th International Vintage Volkswagen Show 2009 from June 26th until June 28th.

In addition to the well-known program like the evening events, a nice buffet, a 2-day swap market in traditional German farmhouse atmosphere and a Schwimmwagen trip, we offer a special camping area for all show visitors (also for visitors with younger vehicles). You can also expect free internet access (WiFi) and a bag filled with nice collectables.

- no rat look, please!
- Volkswagen Beetles, KdF-Wagen until 1957 (In special cases up to 1960, please contact us before registration.)
- coachbuilt bodies on a VW chassis until 1967
- Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (Type 14/34) until 1967
- Volkswagen Type 2 up to 1967

What do you all reckon? emoticon

I'm thinking of going over the week before to catch the Budel show in Holland on the way to Germany. Then maybe visit the Nurburg ring (that famous racetrack in Germany that is always on top gear).

Maybe then go on to Wolfsburg via Osnabruk (karmann museum) and finish the holiday at the Hessisch Oldendorf show.

Anyone fancy joining me? I guarantee, it would be the ULTIMATE VW holiday EVERRRR!!!
