The Presidents Report

August, 2008

Hello and welcome to the August edition of the President's Report.

Well we are back from the Volkswagen spectacular, a great event if you like Volkswagens. Kombi's of various types were everywhere, I think they even outnumbered beetles. They're where over 250 VW's registered which is an impressive sight when they take over the main street of Nambucca heads. A special mention to Christine who won the presidents best pirate/wench costume which revealed the hidden side to her talents. One forgets that kombi's have a different fuel consumption, 14 Ltr/100km sure put a dent in the wallet.

Don't forget that the September meeting is the VWCV Annual General Meeting and election of officers, if you are interested in a position get you nomination forms in.

VWCV Swap meet 08, Sept 28 - Aug 4 The presidents pleasure will be on again, this is the trip to Shepparton to attend the Annual Swap Meet on Sunday 14th September, travelling up on the Saturday 13th staying at the Victoria Lake Caravan Park in Shepparton and going to the Swap meet on the Sunday. The trip will once again be a leisurely (mystery) cruise to Shepparton with some activities on the way. The trip will be about 300km unless we get lost with dinner at the Club across from the caravan park. Any one interested let me know and I will send out the details.

The other two activities coming up are the Swap Meet on the Sunday after the AFL Grand Final at Williamstown this year not Backus Marsh and the DOTVW, same place different date.

I have also heard that for those more interested in cruises there could be a few more organised for the remainder of this year and next year.

That's it for now see, I look forward to seeing you all at Bell's on the 26th.
