VW Spares 2nd Annual BARN, BUGS, & WAGS event will be held on the 29th and 30th of October 2011 in an indoor arena located beside our premises in Castledermot.
So what's it all about?.....at VW Spares we really appreciate the custom and support we receive from all our customers throughout the year so this is our way of giving something back! It's basically a gathering of like-minded VW camper, beetle, & karman ghia lovers having a good old knees-up together with lots of time to appreciate and lust over each other's vehicles.
Everyone welcome after 4pm on Saturday, we're hosting a free BBQ and some sort of musical entertainment. Stay overnight in your camper or bring a tent and camp indoors. The show will start at 10am on Sunday, just to give the guys on Saturday night time to recover, and it'll finish around 5pm. We'll have another free BBQ on Sunday lunch time......nothing fancy on the menu just burgers & sausages. Tea and coffee will be provided all weekend.
As it's Halloween weekend, we'll be hoping to see lots of people in fancy dress on Saturday night. We'll give a €50 VW Spares gift voucher to the best costume on the night.
As per last year, every vehicle that turns-up will automatically enter the competitions. VW Spares will have trophies for Best Modified Vehicle and Runner Up & Best Original Vehicle and Runner Up. We're hoping 'Lazy Days' and 'Eircooled' will also provide trophies again this year for best bus and best eircooled vehicle ......hint, hint!
This year we'll also have a Peoples’ choice award, where everyone gets a vote and whichever vehicle gets the most votes wins. With this trophy there will be a €100 VW Spares gift voucher. The prize giving will be done at 4 pm on Sunday.
The arena will hold about 50 vehicles, maybe more if we can master the art of packing them in this year, but we do have room for any extras in an outdoor arena. We had around 55 beetles and vans last year, it would be nice if we can beat it this year!
Note: The event is held on a farm where there is livestock and neighbours, so we do need to keep them on side to keep this event going. As this event is free, we don't need insurance, so attendance is at your own risk but we will need everyone to sign an indemnity form to clear the arena owners of any liability in case of personal injury etc.
If you want anything ordered for the show i.e. Parts, just let us know in advance on jonwhite@vwspares.ie or call Jon on 086 6038449.
We're looking forward to seeing you there.......please tell other VW lovers of this event.
Jon, Jackie, & Girls
