Ooops!!

These are based on Santa Pod info, which has been up & down since day one. Estimated attendance has varied between 50 and 70, depending who at the track you ask and which way the wind is blowing when you ask.... :o

I'll get it updated Lee.

Also, should the weather turn out to be shitty and in the event of Santa Pod declaring the day a rain out all participants will need to retain their ticket to get an alternative ticket offered.

I'd wait till after the weekend before congratulating anyones organisation skills dude! Hahaha.... ;D

Aside from myself and Pete Roberts there has been loads of people who've chipped in to try and make the day work, a case in point being Bens list /\ /\ up there, done off his own back just to try and help out.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out, and to everyone who's worked so hard on the cars to get there (and those who tried and just missed the goal). Lets hope we have a good evenings fun on Saturday and a great day on Sunday driving our cars like they're nicked. And if it does rain, at least we'll be surrounding by sixty awesome cars so there'll be plenty to look at.

See you all there!

I was fairly disheartened by the weather this morning , but what the hell , it's something we have to live with in England .

Looking at the list of cars soon made me cheer up , what an awesome collection of VW's

The whole point of this event was to get everyone in the UK with the same passion to get together .

So once you have an assembled group , that are all contactable , more events can be organised .

So hopefully the weather will be dryish , if not , we'll have the first meeting of the Hot UK VW club and plan the next event  :)
