Today's meeting with the good people of the REME Museum was a mixture of good and bad news. In the best traditions of these matters, bad news first.

The REME Museum, the hosts of the Maj. Ivan Hirst Volkswagen show, are being removed from the Arborfiled garrison, their long time home, and their archives, including a lot of Volkswagen history will be unavailable to the public - possible for many years to come.

The Defence Spending Review recently announced by government means that this will be the last Volkswagen show at Maj Hirst's regimental home before the Museum is closed.

The good news is that we are determined to make this the best Volkswagen meeting that we can. Senior Curator Judy Booth and I have been discussing options to do just that.

Those of you who made last years show such a success will know that the museum has a lot of Volkswagen history, much of it used to make the Hirst display. This year we intend to share more of the archive with the public, some of it has never been on public display before.

We also are planing to welcome a very special guest, but more of that nearer the date.

What we need now is your participation to make this a great show. See you in September!

Hi Tim

Tried to register my '55, but all I got was this error from the website when I hit preview (picture had uploaded OK):

Thanks,

Received this email earlier, thought it might be worth posting it here as well:

Earlier today you should have recieved your display pass for the Maj. Ivan Hirst Volkswagen Meeting at the REME Museum of Technology.

Please print the pass and display it in the windscreen of your Volkswagen upon arrival at the Arborfield Garrison. The Traffic control on the day will be looking out for this pass to better direct the pre-registered vehicles to the right area.

The entrance to the display field will be open from 8.00am to 10.45am. Members of the Historic Volkswagen Club will be on hand to help with the marshalling and the Museum’s café and washroom facilities should be opening at the same time.

It promises to be a great day with some of the best historic Volkswagens in the UK, and a few very special guests coming along to join us.

On a personal note, Judy Booth the Museum’s Curator and I would both like to thank you for taking the time to come and remember the contribution made by Ivan Hirst to Volkswagen.

I have sent the pass out as a PDF document, if you don’t have the software on your computer to open the document free programs are available from the following sources;

Rob - thanks for posting this, it saved me a job!

As I said on Facebook, I have had a couple of interesting calls today. One from Volkswagen UK, again wanting to join us on the 25th... more to come on that soon.

And then a call from a nice chap who's never been to a show before... but you'll want to meet him - trust me you will.

See you all on the 25th

Yes, you should have your pass attached to an email by now.
I've heard of another registered owner who hasn't received a pass. I mentioned this to Tim and he's now sent one. Best if you PM him and let him know.
