Background

The Lakes VW Owners Club has finally risen from the ashes thanks to the commitment of a few individuals.  The idea of forming a South Lakes based Club has been the ambition of Colin Hardman (the man who fixes your VW) for many years.  Colin Hardman and Carol Johnson have turned a love for VW's into their everyday job, running the Motor Service Centre in Barrowin-Furness.  I think everyone who owns a VW in the South Lakes area knows Col and Carol, they are the people you go and see when your beloved VW isn't feeling too well.

Other individuals worthy of a mention in trying to get the show on the road are Tracy and Richard (Poppy Bus) who put a lot of effort in last autumns event at Keswick, Castlerigg Farm.  This event proved to be extremely popular,  far better than anyone could imagine, so successful the wheels are in motion for a Spring outing to the same location aptly named Bulbfest.

Another popular couple, Kev and Sally (Blue and white Splitty) from Askam  have also been industrious in generating support for events.

Phil and Ruth (that's us) have only had the "bug" for about three years, but we are really into the camper scene.

Regular meetings are scheduled to nominate treasurer, secretary etc to try and make  the club official.

Membership is  in its infancy,  details of members etc will appear later.

We are currently gathering piccys for the gallery, anyone wishing to contribute photos of their beloved vehicles please email jpeg images to lakesvw@btopenworld.com
