Anymore news on this guys
It would be great to have a full line up of Buggys

maybe they should have a Buggy Club section, so all the clubs can make a representation in the halls, with buggies on show, as described earlier, with all levels of buggies and showing the range of buggies styles etc. from the early kits through to the modern pressings.
Different stages of restoration. I am sure you have already covered this in the communications with VolksWorld.

In truth we could take over the show (not that they will let that happen), with the history of our particular VW class.

I missed the last couple of years due to work commitments (someone has to keep pictures on your television even if you are not there to watch it because you are out at a show somewhere..!!) but NOT missing the 2014 show (TV can go to black for that weekend - dam it  )

excited already (Sad old fart)

Still no news on this?

I haven't herd from any of my emails and there is no mention of it in this months magazine.

I'm a Manx Club member - The good news is that Bruce & Winnie have said "yes" to the invitation from the magazine to attend the Volksworld Show in March 2014. The not confirmed bit is that the magazine now have to work out the costs etc to bring them over, dependant upon the budget I guess, so we wait to hear (hopefully!).

So the magazine have invited them over?!

That's amazing!

Just an idea may be we can get as many of Mel's tagged Manx's and Manxster's together to greet them on the club display, perhaps with Mel after all he is an equal part of promoting the interest of buggies in the UK...its a shame the event is so early in the year or we could organise our own MONB.

How many of you are going to commit to bringing your buggies out rain or shine to this event??? Is this going to be our 50th celebration??? Has anyone started to think hard on next years celebration or are we going to miss the boat??? Seems from the above that Volksworld are playing things close to their chest (or is this going to be taken over by Flatlands again?)I'm also a Manx club member but here we are a club of all sorts of buggies and so the SDBC stand should be a celebration of the History of all types in the UK, should we behaving an early picnic event to coincide and then a cruz to the event after all a buggy is all about driving. we can organise the biggest uk buggy cruz (Guinness records) and perhaps raise a few pennies for Tonys charity???

Inigo...

I am in. The show is our focus for the rebuild of my GP2, especially as will be the "special" show.

Now need to sort some type of roof for mine, in the planning. "Rain or Shine"

I'm in too rain or shine planning on / hoping to have a roof of some shape or form by then

If not the show's not far from me so I will just have to get my North Face parka on with goggles

My son will be coming plus I think a couple of his mates want to come too so at least they can get wet and keep my seats dry

Yep - got to be worth it! OK yes ideally its about Manxs of course, but am sure he would welcome GP, Sidewinders, prowlers, Manta Rays, hustlers etc. too.

I would hope it is the celebration of a breed "The Beach Buggy" and not just about the Manx mark, of course it was the start and that cannot be taken away, nor would we want it to be.
There will be a huge amount of VW people at the show that will not know the diversity of the Buggy and hopefully the more variables we get to participate, the more people will be able to appreciate the buggy and the continued following it has.

I am not ranting, just vocalising......... 

Well it sound like they are thinking of buggy things which can only be a good thing. Hopefully they can dedicate a substantial area for us to cram as Manx buggies in as possible!

I am dreaming of showing mine to Bruce but there is still so much to do on it!

Does anyone know if Volksworld are talking to any of the buggy clubs regarding a bigger display area, this forum appears to me to be the biggest collection of members so why are they not hear talking to us Buggy folk, has anyone made contact with them and got a response if not can anyone get some details up here and we can all bug them.

Interestingly, Zoe at the House of Dub had been pestering me for club (house of Dub ones) photos because Volksworld are desperate for club features and have been on at her for one. So not only will I talk to her about using her contact to get buggy club meet photos BUT also see if there is any leverage for the show too.

Absolutely no promises as I don't know much more than that but its worth a try!

I have contacted Adrain at VW mag see what we can find out.

I contacted Winnie Meyers in California last week; still no definite offer as yet from Volksworld mag to pay for them to be guests of honour at the March 2014 show.

I see that in the latest Volksworld mag (Jan 2014) there's no mention of any special buggy displays/celebration/etc. Anyone know any different?
