Bit of a fun family day, I will be there of course but there's a big invite for any other buggers to come along too. Its a small event, at the farm where their workshop is based but its a great family chill day. BBQ and Burger van there, Big bouncy castle there (the ones you see at VW shows as its run by Mrs "Hayburner")

House of Dub and H.O.D Imports are holding their 2nd open Day and show and shine!! Open to both air and water cooled.
It will be held at the workshop in Stewkley on Saturday 28th September at 11am.
Entry is just £3 per person on the gate.
We have prizes from House of Dub, Hayburner, Just Kampers, VW Heritage and GSF. Winners will be judged by you!
If any of you are interested in having an auto jumble pitch please let me know. £10 for a pitch.
This year there will be an old school sports day. Think egg and spoon, sack race, tug of war, 3 legged race. The teams will be made up by the vehicle you drive.
This is one event I really need you to confirm attendance. If you are a member of more than one group please only RSVP to one of them as I will be inviting all local clubs.
Hope to see many of you there and this can be the start of a great event....

Nope... No ideal where the bikers were but this is a private field on the farm where the workshop is based. ;-)up

Excellent news Fran, yes, do so... should be a good one! (Subject to weather as ever of course - but so far thats looking promising)
Weather is starting to look brighter for Saturday now. So anyone else interested in coming along?
Bouncy castle etc confirmed. Sports day planned for us (hmm....) tug of war, jumbo sack race, egg and spoon race, 3 legged race plus other stuff for the kids. BBQ All VW's welcomed. ;-)up

Hi Guys, I think it starts at 11am
Im likely to be there before then to help out a bit BUT... I can also pop out to meet up to guide you folks in if easier. (I have some some directions as a pdf or jpeg which I can email out. Its not impossible to find but the postcode for the satnav is a bit vague so the directions may help)
Andy, can you ping me a PDF or Jpeg, dont mind which.....please :P
Hi Jazzy, hopefully you got it OK last night but if any of you others are coming along, this might be useful, (the post code covers a mile or two of road so this guide will help)

Oh yes sorry about that.... note to self>>> I really mustn't park the buggy in the mud and get it stuck!

Well done Gordon, Mr & Mrs Fran and Graham (with some others)
Though, I heard you were pretty good in the sack....... (race!)
(http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m625/print465/1239345_10153269231310655_620438474_o_zps30a8a462.jpg)
Anyway, yes a big thank you for the folks that made it. Gordon, Fran, Graham and especially Jazzy and Snowy - bit of an epic journey but was great to have a chat with you. Plus met up with another buggy owner there who will hopefully join us on the forum soon.
They have promised us a buggy only section next year - So that should deal with that very very nice Type 3 square back that wins everything both years now!
Apparently there were over a 100 plus vehicles there so was another success - not bad for a small family open day at the workshop.
kenny was up to do the sack race but rumour was he wasnt good in the sack,but good at pulling!
It was a good event, although we only saw the tail end. Bloody weather held us back a bit.......
Good to see the crowd and meet a few new faces.
Lets hope we can have a big turn out next year for the Buggy section...!!

Was a brill day out and should be part of the calendar. Only downside is that the burger juice i dribbled down my togs seems resistant to the washing machine😃
Never mind, it all adds character ;D ;D ;D
