Just to clear things up,
Bendigo was the host city for the 2009 Bug-in,
piggy backing off the success of that event we have successfully had a great Volkswagen show on Easter Saturday every year since.
Volksclub Bendigo was more than happy to not hold the event should another Victorian town be hosting the bug-in and go along to support that event. To
date Volksclub Bendigo have had zero correspondence in regards to the 2014 Bug-in. From what I've been told this seems to be the case for most
Volkswagen groups across the state.
As far as we are concerned there is no "competing" happening, we are running our event as we always have.
Please feel free to make up your own mind as to what event to attend.
We have had fantastic feedback from different Volkswagen groups across the state and will welcome anyone that would like to join us on Easter
weekend.

I'm guessing most people will go to Bendigo as I haven't read any details on the geelong event!

I've had 4 or 5 calls today from Melbourne folk who are meeting at the Calder BP at 9:30.
Already seen a few dubs cruising around town tonight.

I went and had a look at the Geelong waterfront at about lunchtime as they had advertised a display from 9-2, or there abouts, and I wasn't able to
get to Bendigo. No much happening, 12-15 vehicles give or take.
Revolks on the other hand is a great event on the Geelong calendar.
