This is a great day for everyone, especially the kids. The idea behind this day is that those kids who have been to Barrettstown over the years can come back and enjoy a family fun day with their friends and family. There's lots to do and lots of yummy food!!!!
Last year one of the circus companies brought down and set up their big tent and had a number of shows going on, there was a hot air balloon display archery and canoeing to name but a few. Trev, Tracy, Deckie & Brian brought their families and really enjoyed it. We are encouraged to join in so don't be worried that we'll be left standing around for the day.......I guarantee you that you will not be bored.
Barrettstown has become our charity of choice and as such it would be fantastic if we could show our support to this wonderful place by being there with our own display. There won't be any other clubs there so it's quite an honour to have been asked.
So, what about it guys and gals, can we put an effort in and have a display we can be proud of and one that will add to the day for the kids and families?









Something for everybody?????? :D

Bernie needs to have an idea of numbers during the week so if you can add your names to the list that would be great. Last year we made a donation to Barretstown and we would love to do the same this year.

It's a great way to spend an afternoon VWing and at the same time you can collect brownie points by spending it with your family (y)

Trust me (and everyone else who has been), if you've never been then you don't know what you're missing.

it was a super day out last year and I'm gutted I can't make it again. Was it on a Saturday last year? The Sunday snookers it for me this year :(

Update from Bernie


We had a meeting yesterday and they said that they are going to locate you guys down by the lake so your visible!! So it will be nicer for all of you also instead of being far away in the car park!

Come on folks. This is a great day out and it's different to anything else you will do on a Sunday. I know a lot of you guys are trying to balance hobby & home life so if you've got kids they will love it so you're home and dry on that score (y)

It would be a real shame to have to cancel if we don't get the numbers as the kids and their parents really get a kick out of seeing our old VWs lined up.

I was speaking with Deckie today and we have agreed that in order to be fair to Bernie and her team who are laying out the event as we speak, we need to give them notice if we are going to do a display or not by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

If you are interested in going please add your name to the list. If there's not enough interest we will tell her that we cannot get the numbers and will have to withdraw. Hopefully that won't happen but either way she will need to know by tomorrow.

jesus that'd be an awful missed opportunity if a few people didn't get there it's such a great fun day out.

Especially if you drag a few kids along, they'll have a ball with a minimum amount of effort on your behalf.

This is always a bonus...
