Volkswagen Club of South Australia

Back to normality in the club after the big effort put in for the Bug-In. We have had quite a bit of interest in the way of new members and enquiries about the club during the past few months, so those of you who haven’t been on a club run recently, now is as good as ever! We have a cruise to Ashbourne coming up this month on the 20th via Hahndorf. Lunch will be at the Greenman Inn in the small hamlet of Ashbourne on the road from Meadows to Goolwa. Beautiful part of our state and I’m sure we’ll enjoy the scenery on the way.

Perfect weather and a great day was had by all. I’m obviously talking about the Day of the Volkswagen which was held at Civic Park in Modbury. By late morning when entries were starting to thin out a bit, I realised what a great venue it was. A well manicured lawn area surrounded by gum trees combined with elevated views for those who took the time to take in the view. For any VW lover, it was a sight to behold.

Not long now! The Day of the Volkswagen is fast approaching with everything pretty much in place for what promises to be a great day as we return to Civic Park, Modbury after the last minute move to Golden Grove last year. I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from people who attended the 2010 event at Modbury so I hope to see you there. As usual we will need some members to help out in various capacities on the day. There a few straight forward jobs that need to be filled, so please contact myself or Maris if you are available to assist.

I hope all of our members had a great Christmas and New Year and managed to have some
time off and catch up with their families. Now that January is here, it’s very apparent that the
Day of the Volkswagen and the Bug-In are coming up fast. Our annual car show is due to be
held at Civic Park, Modbury on March 11th, so you can see it’s not far away. Most things are in
hand at the moment, but please let a Committee member know if you are available to help out
in some way on the day – either as a judge or officiating in another capacity.
