I bought Nancy in 2017 and joined the club soon after, although I didn’t actually make it to a meet until last year — definitely an “armchair supporter” for a while!
Back in 1982, I had the chance to visit the VW factories in Hannover and Wolfsburg with my parents, on a trip organised by the Worcestershire VW Owners Club — sadly no longer running. If anyone here remembers them or was part of that club, I’d love to hear from you and share a few stories.
Now, as I begin my 60s and with a bit more free time (I run my own graphics
business from home), I can finally indulge more in my lifelong passion — the mighty Volkswagen. Being self-employed also gives me the flexibility to get to more shows throughout the season, which is a lovely bonus.
So, if you spot my name in the mag from time to time, now you’ll know who I am! And if you see me out and about at any shows, please do come and say hello — I love meeting fellow VW lovers and having a good natter about all things air- cooled and beyond.
Luke Flynn joins the team as a Social Media manager looking after our Facebook and Instagram presence. He’s got 2 kids, a Bay window called Betty and at 30 years old, he’s substantially brought down the average age of the team. (Editor – I’ve got T shirts older than him!).
Alex won Ozzy the Gonk at the AGM and says:
Our first trip was one of mixed fortunes. The bad news is that our fuel line came loose, and we lost over a half a tank of fuel. The good news is it happened off the motor way at a service area.
