Upcoming Club Event – Camper Jam – July 3-5 2026

Held annually at Weston Park Shropshire, this is a not to be missed Festival. If you are into your cars and banging tunes this is for you. The event also celebrates the whole Volkswagen scene.
The club has a dedicated camping area but spaces are strictly limited so book early to avoid missing out.
BTW the street food vendors are second to none.
Added bonus you can take your own booze into the arena.

Another one in the bag – Club AGM – 2026

The 2026 AGM by Sarah McCutchion

As in previous recent years the venue was Barnstones Caravan & Camping Site, near Banbury.  It was heartwarming to arrive and see so many vans parked and set up ready for a fun but important weekend for the club.  

Fortunately the weather held out for the weekend and we were able to sit outside in the (reasonable) sunshine into the early evenings, chatting to friends old and new.

As with every “meet” there was plenty of camaraderie, laughs and fun.   There were opportunities to discuss problems with the vans (who’d have thought!!), share ideas, tips and stories.  A huge amount of effort and hard work was put into the weekend by the management team, this included organising the Friday night fish and chips run from the local chippie, the Saturday BBQ and the Sunday morning bacon rolls.   In addition, there was plenty of cake, tea and coffee for everyone.     There were games, a raffle and a quiz too. 

The main purpose of the weekend was of course the AGM which was held in the hall opposite.   The management team put a lot of their own time into running the club and this along with their endless enthusiasm came across from those that spoke.   The minutes will cover the content.  One of the requests was that we, the members, should help fill the magazine with content and I volunteered to make this small contribution of the weekend.   So come on lets all help them. 

Upcoming Club Event – Golden Valley Vintage Fair, June 5-7 2026

This event is held at the Gwatkin Cider Farm in the heart of Herefordshire’s Golden Valley. What could go wrong with this. Straight out of a James Herriott book this show is English as it will get. I know for a fact i will be sampling those apples for sure. Here we are provided with club camping and a chance to display our vehicles. Better give mine a clean.
