Introducing yet another NEW SHOW! Well not really… a show with a 20 year pedigree, but radically different. VAGfest, Santa Pod, July 11th 2010 – is everything that the old GTI Festival was, and more. It is a one day show for air and water cooled VW’s, Audis, Seats, Skodas… and it is the only show where all marques get equal billing.

All owners of Volkswagen Group vehicles are welcome. The organisers are re really keen to see as many clubs as possible represented, and are also hosting for the first time at any VW show anywhere, the ’show within a show’, Girlz N Dubz. All female owners can get to show off their pride and joy in the ‘Girlz N Dubz’ competition and display. Girlz N Dubz will definitely become the coolest event in the UK for female owners… The girlz will be interviewed about their cars, their interests, and there are a number of trophies up for grabs, for their performance in the show arena as well as on the track. All will have an equal chance against the guys in the regular Show & Shine too.

All clubs are invited to display during the day, and the ‘Best Club Display’ at VAGfest carries a £100 charitable donation, to a charity chosen by the winning club. The Show & Shine has a massive number of awards including Best Audi, Best Skoda, Best SEAT, and Best VW, Best Engineering, Best Paint, Best Engine, Best Van and many more. There are also ‘top twenty’ trophies covering all the marques. Awards on the track include quickest VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda, as well as a number of awards based on engine sizes for all VAG vehicles.

The organisers are also really keen to see as many transporters, campers etc, including late models, because we really want this show to evolve to include every Volkswagen Group vehicle, past, present and future. Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti are therefore more than welcome too, although owners should be aware that there are several regulars at these shows who are best avoided on the racetrack unless you want to look a bit silly.

As well as the ‘Dizzy Rascals’ autotest course, there will be a couple of demonstration vehicles, a 5 second Fuel Funny Car, and the equally impressive – regular crowdpleaser – The Fireforce Jet Car.

July 11th – Santa Pod – Just £15 for a day of Girlz, Dubz, Clubs, Traders, Sprints, AutoJumble – and everything else ‘VAG’.

Every year we hear from people who have brought ‘non VW enthusiast’ friends as new visitors, who have been instantly converted to the cause. The fact that they are so readily accepted by everyone is testament to just how friendly and inclusive the VW community is. Action is as much about the friendliness and hospitality of other show-goers as the quality of the show itself. In our view there is not a more entertaining and enjoyable VW Show in the world. VW Action can be a weekend camped amongst like-minded enthusiasts, sitting, chilling, and meeting new friends, or a fully involved, participative fun fest!

Friday 17th to Sunday 19th July 2008 – The Original & Best VW Fest

Report taken from www.bugjam.com

What have we done to deserve this? Another rainy Bug Jam was forecast, and that’s pretty much what we got too, but fortunately, the dedicated Bug Jam fans turned out en-mass to brave the inevitable mud and have a great time with fellow VW fans. With great music, comedy, loads of trade stands, and brilliant people guaranteed, if some racing could be fitted in during a dry spell it would be a nice bonus.

24th to 26th April at Santa Pod Raceway – The Fun & Friendly Family VW Festival

Report taken from www.big-bang.co.uk

Big Bang Camper and Bus is now over for 2009! We’re sorry if you missed it, because it was bloomin’ good. Not only did the sun shine most of the weekend, but there was plenty to do and see, and two great nights of partying to boot. The weekend started off with Alternative Energy Racing on the track and bands and comedy in the Big Top. With the sun out and weekenders steadily streaming through the gate, Big Bang was off to a great start. Once the jam sessions bands had finished in the Big Top, Alan Hudson kept the crowd amused with his comedy magic show. Meanwhile, the campervan tug-off competition was taking place behind the grandstand. In a Herculean feat of strength, Shaun Fradsham tugged the mighty hulk of a fully laden van across the line in 9.19 seconds, but respect goes out to anyone who gave it a try, from old men to petite ladies.
