The second year of VW Festival was in our opinion a massive success, and although the weather was not as good as it was for VW Festival 2005 we still managed to attract approximately 7000 visitors, which was around 2000 more than last years show.

We managed to double the amount of traders this year, which was one of the biggest criticisms from last year. We still dont think it was enough though, and we will be making a concerted effort to attract more air cooled traders and air cooled auto jumble for next year! Now we have two successful shows under our belt we dont expect this to be too difficult!

We will be posting reviews from the press as we receive them so keep an eye on the reviews page. We have also created a page with testimonials that we have received from people that came to the show.

We have a good selection of the photos of the show, we hope you enjoy looking through and maybe even see yourself!

I would like to give a HUGE thank you from myself, Paul and Phil, and co-organisers Kev Shirley and Alex Van Der Arend, and to all the volunteers that helped us to ensure the show went as smoothly and efficiently as possible….in particular Paul Milson (communications supplier), Dave Missin, Lee Jackson, Rich Crosher, Jon Mouatt, Lee Cowlishaw (show and shine judge), Dean Clark, Chris Tweddle (photographer), ICY (photographer), James Darnbrough, Craig Melson-Girtchen, Iain Oakley, El Russell, Matthew Shears, Hermann Rowinski (show and shine judge), and John Gledhill (show and shine judge)….and of course not forgetting our better halves, Lucie, Tracey and Nicola, apologies if we have missed anyone off!!
