!!! GREAT NEWS Re the next Valla Spectacular !!!
I've just been speaking with Donna Pell re putting show results up on the vwparts.com.au website
She has mentioned that next year (2004) will be the 20th anniversary of the first Spectacular, and rather than waiting two years she is asking the VW
Community if we should hold a show next August to celebrate the 20 years rather than wait until 2005.
There is a good possibility of a major sponsor for 2004 too!
Here is what will be put up!
2004 IS 20 YEARS SINCE WE STARTED THIS EVENT EVEN THOUGH IT WILL BE ONLY THE 15TH SHOW. WHEN WE STARTED IT WAS EVERY YEAR BUT GOT TOO BIG TOO ORGANISE
FOR US SO WE WENT EVERY 2ND YEAR.
WE MUST DECIDE IF WE ARE GOING TO HOLD IN 2004 OR 2005. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME RESPONSE FROM YOU ALL.
EMAIL US ON donna501@bigpond.com or pell1@bigpond.com
So if your interested then send a quick email off to the above addresses.

should start a poll post on the issue, that'll show what the fans want, and how many want it.
Personally I don't think it would be as big if it was yearly. The prices this year were quite high, I don't think alot of dubbers could
afford it yearly. Especially Amazer

Camping fees were $17 a site per night
$15 gate fee
this is the one I thought was exy $40 show and shine. Cost me about $80-$100 on fuel from Gold Coast in the Manx. We did the budget cook for yourself
thing. 20 years is a big milestone I don't think thay can let it pass without getting together however I think thAT the show and shine should
have two levels serious show sections and then light hearted,novelty style for the remainder of us. Lets face it not all dubs are show quality and
many have been great reliable daily used vehicles forever. What does everyone else think??????? |

I'll be there for sure. I don't know how much I spent on the accom. Idon't even know if I entered the show and shine. When we fronted
at the park gate we had to pay some $$ for a wrist tag.I don't know what that was for either. Maybe it was to prevent bad times and hangovers. If
so it worked. I kept a record of the fuel used on the trip and one of these days I will add it up. I do know we did just under 3000kms. Bring it on
again for sure next year for the 20th Anniversary. Every second year is good though to preserve its Spectacularness.

$22 gate fee, $40 show entry, $50 sat night dinner (2 people). The show fee was the biggest shock.
I was mainly having a stab at amazer with the cost side of it. He had to pay for 2 reco'd kombi heads, which he put on a motor which later died
anyway
I think the 2003 Valla was slightly smaller than the 2001 valla, so I am just hoping that having it 2 yrs in a row doesn't wreck the turn-out
that's all.

Best news I've had all week. emails gone and I'm there for 2004 / 20yr cellabration. :thumb:bounce
Sure the Valla trip cost a bit with costs to get the car up to srcatch blowing out a bit, but what the f**k its only money and the great time I had
more than offset it.
Gotta say tho the $40 cost for Show and Shine was a bit of a shocker.

yep, it was kinda expensive.... seems like a heck of a lot of money got poured into the whole thing by us dubbers... 44 bucks wrist tags (what the?),
50 bucks dinner, 150 accomm, 40 bucks show, 40 bucks racing, 200 bucks fuel, for the outlay it could have been better organised. I also overheard talk
of charging for the showbags (with maps, and event listings and LOTSA ads) on top of it all, and making them out of cotton.
it also would have been nice to receive a map via e'mail upon booking. so we didn't have to form a slow moving tweedledum convoy in the
backstreets of nambucca searching for the venue... @ wes
and yet my e-mail's sent.
let sleeping dubs lie

I think it would be ok if they have it next year to mark the 20th anniversary, then revert to every two years.
I've asked Donna to book me a couple of campsites, should they decide to go ahead next year. :thumb

I agree with Wes, I dont think this year was as good as 2001, but I think that Valla should be next year to celebrate the 20th Anniversary, then
perhaps it could go back to every two years and be held again in 2006.
