Some of you may have seen on Twitter the good people at the REME Museum mentioned that Government Defense Review permitting they might like to see another show at Arbourfield... Early days does not even begin to describe the planning for the show but I am interested to hear any comments the community may have.

Many thanks

First show was great! If you could just arrange for slightly better weather this time though please :thumbup:

Sadly David Cameron and the Government Defense Review may force our hands on timing. REME may well be being removed to a corner of an Air Force base on the Welsh coast in the next year or so, and with that move would go our free venue and Military support (another area for cutbacks...) So...

We'd need a date, and to make sure of enough support from Stock, vintage owners...

p.s. did everyone see the write up in VW Driver magazine?

---

No, but i have done a write up in the latest SSVC club mag 🙂

---

that would have been due to the fact that the editor neil birkitt was at show and only lives nearby

p.s great show,highlight of 2009

Hello – exciting news – the Second (*possibly last) Ivan Hirst Memorial Volkswagen Beetle Meeting has been confirmed for Sunday September 25th 2011. We’d you attended the first show we would like to invite you to take part in the 2011 show.

As we did last year, we are hosting a stock pre ’67 Volkswagen Beetle show; the turn out from the Vintage VW enthusiast community was extraordinary – and we were really proud to host some of the finest Historic Volkswagens on the road in the UK, including yours! Thank You!

https://ivanhirst.com  it’s a little easier to remember!

Registration for everyone with a stock pre 67 VW will open soon!

Thank you for taking the time to make last years show such a great success and we hope to see you all again in September.

*I say ‘possibly’ last show as the site of the Corps Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers at the Arborfield Garrison is included in the Governments Defence Spending Review. If the Corps’ moves or changes its role the Museum will be affected, it could be a last chance to see Ivan Hirst’s connection to The REME Corps and the history of Volkswagen in it’s own exhibit.
