Quick updates on the show.

Had a great morning at REME yesterday. the Garrison are right behind the show.

We lots of space if we need it for parking and the Army are helping with trafic control and directions. Oliver the Museum Education officer is starting to signpost the whole area as of this morning - top man!

Sadly we have lost a Kublewagen from the show but we gained another - our third - Schwimmwagen in it's place.

We have members of the Historic VW Club turning up at the crack of dawn to help with the marshalling of the display area – and the main museum car park is set aside for Air-Cooled VW’s only so we’ll have a second show within the show.

Bring the children along as well the Army is opening its Junior assault course for the day – one Army PT instructor takes each child round the course, with only a little Sergeant Major type shouting!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Goody bag?! 😞

Great meeting today, enjoyed taking my dad (ex-REME) to a VW event. Was fun driving a Split bug again, must buy my own now. Here's a link to some of my photos:

And as for the goodie bag, what goodie bag, wasn't told about that when I drove in.?

Sadly I didn't know they'd bought them early on, I tried to tell everyone when I found out - Sorry to those whom I didn't reach...

Not to worry, had a great day anyway :)
