Does anyone know if there is an active VW club in Canberra? If so, do you have their contact details? I've Googled and found a few links that all point to a website that is no longer available.

Woohoo! There are a batch of us currently working in forming a new VW club here in Canberra, as currently there is none (the previous one apprently folded a couple of years ago).

U2U me for details...or to SteveMk2, either.

We have our first event in a few months....

U guys n gals down there need to have an casual meeting one nite to kick things along.

Print up some brochures and do shopping center cars any VW will do if you post 10 flyers u might get 2 or 3 people who many want to join ....

Go to the VW dealers and Aftermarket shops as well with flyers on the parts counters etc etc

...I know that red and white... I chatted to you a couple of times. Once at Shell Dickson. I think you are on my mailing list.

Yep, things are moving along fairly nicely. Just gotta get a couple of external things finalised and we are off...

See you all on the 25th and 26th Sept for our VW Weekend. Stay posted on here for more details...

Theres a fella down in Canberra who is interested in setting up a branch of the 'Kombi Club'
It just needs something to pull people together, whatever thier vehicle.

You must be thinking of someone else. I've only had the red and white for a week (I bought it in Sydney so it's not a local car) and I haven't been to Shell Dickson with it. But I'm sure we'll be meeting at some point!
