There are plenty of watercooleds every year, but they're in the carpark.

The first Nationals was in 1988 and this is their 20th year????????

well,the meeting last night was a success! all of the committee are very enthusiastic about us and basically I was told that VW australia are twisting their arm to change the way that they look at watercooled.but guys,if we dont come up with the goods,we all will look ridiculous.
So,now is the time to come,if you didnt before,and if you know anyone else,modified or standard,twist their arm as well.we really need to get the word out there.If any of you guys are members of the other watercooled sites,please post the details there as well!!!
ClubVW is sponsored by VWaustralia to the tune of $5000 for the nats.ClubVW have a bank balance of $33000.these guys already have a system/insurance/database/infrastructure etc already set up.ever wanted to hold a sponsored track day or a huge cruise/bbq etc etc??? the only way we can make these guys change the way that clubvw is run,is from the inside.they want us to do this,they want to be told what to organise,they want US!!!!!
its still early for me,im still excited from all the events last night.Im sure LOON will fill you guys in a bit more,but ill write some more tonight!!!

Yeah it is a good opportunity to promote watercooled VWs. Club VW already have the infrastructure in place and the organization for this big show and are crying out for Us to go and shape the direction.

So lets.

George and Steve and a few other spruikers will scour the carpark and the inside of the show and try and make the watercooled park together.

It costs $10 general admission, or $10 to enter the car show and the $10 per category. If you dont wanna enter your car, pay $10 to go in the car show, enter no categories and park in the middle of the show with the rest of us.

The judging criteria is changed this year to allow for modified watercooled cars, not just classic beetles.

If you are not involved, you cant whinge about how crap the show is.

This is the big chance here. Do what Matt says

I've been trying to do this for 19 years.

$30 for 2 categories + entry is affordable for all, if you can afford to drive vw, service it, spend money on upgrades u can afford this, you can afford $30

and George, i dont like to post a lot of blah blah so maybe it seems like im not really into it, but Matt knows and i told him before, if you guys need any help related to nats, let me know ill be happy to contribute which ever way i can
by entering my dented golf for starters

lets get this party started!

[BL33SU]

[Zee - Golfie]

$10 is nothing guys, come on.

I've been a club and committee member for over 5 years now and I know that there are a number of committee members that will greet you with open arms.

The club goes in the direction the way the committee pushes it. At the moment it *appears* to only cater to the air cooled, but everything is in place for the water coolers as well, all we have to do is to get in there and show that the water coolers are in fact serious about the club.

e.g. About 6 Months ago, the only way to join the club was to either pay cash or CHQ. We pushed for Direct deposit and got it through. Once that was in place, I put into place Credit Card facilities, so you now can pay On-Line. You've just got to do it in small steps.

Picking the catagories for the nationals judging is like picking the lotto numbers. We have so many left over trophies from previous years because a particular type of car was in large numbers the year before and none showed up the following year. What we've got to do is to be consistant. If it doesn't work this year, we'll tweak it our way to make it work. If we do the work and show that it does work (Like I did with the Credit Cards), the committee has little reason to knock it on the head.
