Day of the Volkswagen

For the last 30 years, the VW Club of Victoria has hosted the Day of The Volkswagen (DoVW), the largest VW car show in Australia.
The event takes place each year in November at the Yarra Glen Racecourse where several hundred old and new Volkswagen gather for a casual day.
The event includes a trophy competition, a large VW public display area, a swap meet, tech talks, VW specialist traders and plenty of other animations for the whole family.
Check out the DoVW pages for photos and details

DOVW 2017 will be 19 November 2017, please refer to the event calendar for more details.
 
Here’s some useful information –
 
  • Entry of cars and pedestrians will commence strictly at 9am. 
  • Entry of all undercover Traders commences at 7.30am (all Traders must be set up by 9am with excess vehicles removed prior to that).
  • Swap site vendors will be admitted from 9am.  This is to restrict unfair early sales.
  • VIP groups (all will have pre-paid passes) will enter by the top gate - labelled 'VIP Entry only' - from 9 am. 
  • VIP stickers must be attached to the R/H side of windscreens.  Vehicles without such stickers will not be admitted via this gate. 
  • If members of VIP groups wish to have their vehicles judged, they must enter via the judging gates, then following judging, exit the venue, then re-enter via the VIP gate.
  • All other Volkswagens entering the grounds for display and judging will enter via the ‘Vehicle Entry only’ gate.  Once inside the venue, cars being judged will be directed to either the Water Cooled or Air Cooled queue, as appropriate, and those for display to parking areas.
  • Pedestrians will enter via the ‘Pedestrian Entry’ gate.
  • Volunteers should report to the Membership and Merchandise (M and M) stand to collect their Volunteer Shirts and to clarify their duties.
  • Tech talks will be held, similarly to recent years.  The program will be available at the M and M stand and will be announced over the PA.
  • Do remember that animals and barbecues are not permitted by the venue.
  • When driving on grassed areas, please take care not to damage the surface.
  • Unregistered vehicles must be trailered into the venue, then pushed into position.  (For insurance reasons, such vehicles are not permitted to be driven within the venue.)
  • Of course, all attendees are expected to behave in an appropriate manner.
  • There will be several vendors selling food and drinks.
  • There will be activities for children.
  • Judging will run from 9am to 11am.
  • Winners will be telephoned via their mobile phones once results are tallied, and will be asked to assemble in order ready for the drive-through and presentation of trophies.
  • The drive through and presentation are scheduled to commence at 2pm.
  • The Show concludes at 4pm.
