Ideas for VW events

Phil74Camper · 2010-03-22T23:47:02+00:00

OK here is where we want to hear your ideas for some VW events we can run in future. A few posters have said they didn't like the Flat Four Supercruise, or that it should have been done differently, or that there isn't much happening compared with, say, the Mini car club. That may or may not be the case; but let's see what we can do about it. Let's hear what YOU would like to see happen. Club Veedub tries to have at least one 'event' each month, whether that be one of our own organising, or going to another club's runs (such as Flat Four's). Our calendar of coming events - five months in advance - is here: http://www.clubvw.org.au/Coming%20events.htm To start us off: 1. I was thinking of another 'Fish n Chips' signpost run in winter. Meet at a certain place (eg petrol station), get instructions, follow the directions and answer questions as you proceed. Finish at nice coastal location near fish n chips shop, trophies for 1st 2nd, 3rd. Any suggestions? 2. I was also thinking of hiring a proper theatrette such as the one at Hurstville Civic Centre, and showing some VW DVDs on the big screen - maybe Shape of Quality factory film from 1964, or some of the 'Bug Me' videos of how to service/rebuild your engine. We have dozens of VW DVDs in the Club library - requests welcome 3. A VW circuit day at Gary Wilmington's Marulan Test Track, say one every six months? 4. A cruise to somewhere like the go-kart track at Picton, for races, BBQ and trophies etc Every VW event doesn't have to be 'big', but it should be enjoyable, and interesting. Do you have any suggestions? And would you be happy to help organise something?

Hi sounds like a great event have a friend who went to the gardens said it is fantastic they had a few wines that will help.
The event organiser believes they will have over 600 cars I would love to see a 100 VW
I will be going if I can

Isnt this what flat fours cruise was???

Yes it's exactly what Flat Four's Supercruise was, and it was a fantastic day. I hope they'll do more than just one or two a year - there are some great ideas here for alternative routes/locations. And we love Flat Four's mobile food/drink setup - brilliant!

Yes Steve/Rose, I'll put that Hunter run in the Club calendar, it sounds fun and a great opportunity to get our VWs out and about and publicising the marque. Who wants to see MGs and Morris Minors at all these runs?

I agree Flat Four cruise was a great day, we just need more cruises I am looking forward to the next Flat four cruise.
The idea of going up the coast or down the coast for a cruise might increase the number of vehicles as it gives the guys, girls in Wollongong , South coast or Newcastle , Gosford or the North shore a chance to join in. I am not sure were we all live there may be a spot to start or finish that is more suitable to the gain numbers.

A wave a day keeps the doctor away especially in a VW 😎:
