Kombi Club Australia

ClassicVW(pacific) · 2005-03-22T12:01:33+00:00

Ok heres the update. As some of you are aware we are in the process of setting up a club dedicated to the Kombi whether it be Split, Bay, T25, T4, T5, etc Having spoken to a few people around Aus it seems it is possible to make this Australia wide having branches in or near every region. This is intended as being very laid back, in true kombi fashion. news letters, drive outs drive ins and drive throughs, camp outs, tours, help from other type 2 fanatics, meets etc. eventually even 'buses with attitude' style of race meets This will be run on similar lines as the Split Screen Van Club in the UK, I have been in contact with them and they have offered advice. Hopefully we will be complementing existing clubs and increasing numbers at events We will never shut out other VeeDubs, they are more than welcome to participate If this takes off, no matter where you go in Aus, you will meet other members.

roy how about we organise a off valla year show at belongal byron for all vws since dub fest seems no longer,with help from other clubs etc there is no reason why it cant get as big as valla
ideal location, plus there is always enough kombis in byron beach car park for a show anyway.

Sounds like the ole Kombi wheels are starting to turn.Why not just do an informal get together and feel your way from there.Bit of a V W sabatical!!
Went to Byron for Dubfest and thought what a gem of a location for a VW gathering, and for those who went and thought the same,well you need to thank Judy & all the Klub VW Byron for the introduction.Remember from little things ,big things grow!

We can all sit around in a big circle, swapping stickers, yay!

7 pages and many many viewings, probably people just checking and rechecking if there are any events yet,at all, ever.
I know I've lost count of how many times I have checked this thread for events

Will we form a collective of kombie customers or is there more to it?

why dont we/you/us make the first outing a joint event with Klub VW on Sunday April 10?

Klub VW Goldcoast hereby cordially invite the type 2 collective, {insert final name here :thumb } to join us, along with some members of the Bad little buggers and Gold Coast Dub Club,

We will be Meeting at 5 PM on Sunday Afternoon on the service road out front of Movieworld.

We can take a run out to Numinbah Natural Arch, perhaps Bring a bite to eat or there are BBQs there if anyone wants to have a cook up.
As soon as its Dark enough, we can go for a bushwalk to see the Glow worms,
Bring a torch,
Bring ya Kids,
Bring a sense of adventure, and maybe some insect repellant.
And have good twilight get together with ya friends.

or just sit and wait for the official stickers.

Cheers Anthony

Everyone who has shown interest could you please E-mail your detaials to

kombiclub@aol.com

Hey Tony I did call you a while back and told you of my intentions, that is not to draw attention away from any other club, but to increase numbers at events and maybe encourage a few more sole travellers to join up to clubs whatever thier orientation.
Mate I didnt want to just rush in with a meeting without having some sort of plan and judging by the feedback not just from AVD members, a Kombi club has been a long time coming.
This must be good for the Volkswagen scene in general.
See you on Sunday.

Tony
I am hurt, anybody who knows me or who has dealt with me knows that this is not a business venture, nor am I into Volkswagens to make heaps of money.
The idea was born from discussions with many kombi owners, I am not alienating other groups or putting kombi owners on a podium.
Yes ClassicVW(pacific) are if you like the only sponsors of the Club at the moment, by this I mean that we will pay for the setting up costs, time in setting up, sticker design, first newsletter, promotion etc.
But I have already talked to a couple of National companies and local to the Gold Coast who are willing to offer sponsorship.
I love driving my kombis and have travelled many k's on my own and supported many events this past 6 months with sponsorship and attendance.
I want to see a national network of the Kombi club set up on the same principlals as the SSVC.
I will do the hard yards, there are more VW drivers out there than just AVD members.
I am not sat on my arse either waiting for stickers, once leaflets have been produced we can get the word out there and when we do meet up we have something to hand out and publicise.
Christ don't be such a party pooper !!
