Hi All.
A fantastic weekend was had by all that attended the joint Split Screen Van Club & Harrogate & District VW Club Camping Trip.
Thank you to the Split Screen Van Club for allowing our club to join you….
The weather was great the atmosphere was great & everyone had a nice chilled out weekend.
VW’s started arriving on Friday afternoon and kept arriving until Saturday afternoon.
Saturday was spent relaxing, with people going off walking or going off in their vw’s exploring the Whitby area.
Simon brought some small cars to race including splitty’s beetles and Porsches, which was enjoyed. Simon spent along time setting up the track… Thank you Simon.
We had a communal BBQ area on Saturday evening, followed by the raffle.
The raffle was a huge success we managed to raise £42.60 for the club. Thank you to everyone who took part and made it a success.
I would like to thank everyone who donated a prize for the raffle we had some great ones from vw models to sponges and England flags & a couple of boobie prizes.
I would like to thank Derek & June for selling the raffle tickets and organising the table with prizes on & also for the use their BBQ for everyone.
Sunday morning was spent relaxing and recovering from Saturday night. & people started drifting off by lunchtime on Sunday (not sure if the World Cup had anything to do with that???)
Thank you to everyone who attended and hope to see you all soon……
There are some pictures posted on the forum that can be found here:

I have spoken to the organiser of this event from the Split Screen Van Club about the possibility of having a joint camping trip in future years like this one.
There was no objection to this, so this could be a possibility for the future.
The club is now over 1 year old. The club has grown considerably since April 2005, with 85 members on the forum so far.
The numbers at each monthly meeting have been growing too with new and different people and vw’s each month.
We have now established ourselves as a great little club with some fantastic vw’s.
I hope that we will continue to grow and keep that relaxed chilled club vibe.
The next event is the monthly meeting on the 2nd July at Conygham Hall at 1pm or Staveley at 2pm.
Hope to see you all there.
