President’s Report

Dean Holden, VWCV President

Letter to the Editor

Dear Tony

The prospect of returning “Down Under” for Winnie

and myself is a dream come true. Of course we

graciously accept and thank the VWCV for your

efforts. In such a light, it endears us with the

warmest feelings for each and every member of

the Volkswagen Club of Victoria.

In this tumultuous world we live in, such a kind

gesture is most gratifying, if not rare.

On our previous visit to Australia in the 90’s, we

weren’t able to visit the Melbourne and Geelong

areas, so this will truly be a treat and we are

looking forward to meeting as many of you as

possible during our stay.

Sincerely Bruce Meyers

Hello everyone and welcome to the November

08 edition of Wagensville Deluxe. We have sent

the November magazine out very early to ensure

you have your copy well prior to the Day of the

Volkswagen on Sunday the 16th of November.

The Club Committee and the Day of the VW 08

organising team have been putting some hard

yards to ensure that the big day runs smoothly and

is enjoyed by all. We are expecting a strong turn

out again this year with the off road and VW Buggy

guys planning to turn out en-mass, the Water

Coolers needing more space, the growing Rat

class numbers expected to swell again this year

and a number of classic Porsches planning on a

making an appearance this year also.

We will have strong attendance by our VW Traders

again this year, and both South Yarra Volkswagen

and Shannon’s will have product displays and their

sales team’s on hand to talk to you about their

new vehicles and products. The team from South

Yarra will also be demonstrating the self parking

abilities of the new VW Tiguan Compact SUV

during the day. Will be interesting seeing a VW

park while the driver sits with their arms folded!

There will also be a good number of food traders

be on hand, offering coffee, ice cream and hot

food from the race course Kiosks.

So there will be lots to see, lots to buy, lot’s to eat

and you might even take home a trophy if you

entered your VW in the Show and Shine.

Depending on when you receive your copy of the

November Deluxe Magazine, you may still be able

to pre pay your Show and Shine entry into the Day

of the VW 08. Pre entries close on 3rd November.

We are still looking for volunteer helpers to assist

on the day. So if you can spare an hour during

the day to assist with judging, manning the gates

or working on the club stand please let us know.

These events are run by volunteers so please

assist if you are able.

Don’t forget that we also have some pre Day

of the Volkswagen activities happening on the

evenings of Friday the 14th and Saturday the

15th of November. On the Friday we have the

Bruce and Winnie Meyers welcome BBQ at Mick

Conway’s place in Geelong, Saturday we have a

movie night at the Luna Drive-In, Dandenong.

Onto December, we have Christmas BBQ

courtesy of Lloyd Davis at Volkwerke.

For full details on all these events see Ads or

Calendar of Events in this issue.

See you all at the Day of the Volkswagen.

Editor’s Note

Thanks Bruce

as you can well imagine everyone down under

is gearing up for the Day of the Volkswagen

and the excitement is building in anticipation of

having you as our guest for the day.

The Volkswagen Club of Victoria, Mick Conway

and the Buggy Group, club members and

everyone involved in everything Volkswagen,

welcome you and Winnie and hope your stay

with us is enjoyable and one to remember.
