About the South West Buggy Club.
This is a new club that was formed in 2003 for the owners of VW based Buggies, Baja Bugs and Sandrails who live in the South West of the UK. We do however run a forum which can be accessed from the button above where you are welcome wherever you are from.
There are other buggy clubs in the UK, but our aim is to bring a few owners of these vehicles together during the summer months, cruise to a few shows and have a few beers. Catering predominantly for those in this area.
The club has a relaxed atmosphere about it and has grown steadily since it's inception and now has members with a variety of buggy styles, a couple of sandrails and a baja bug from all counties aross the south west including Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Gloucester, Wilshire, Dorset and South Wales.
During 2004 we had a club stand at the Bristol Volksfest and on 15th August we had a buggy meet with a few trophies for the best cars as judged by club members. We again had a sucessful club stand at Bristol Volksfest in 2005 and we had this years buggy meet at a new VW show called VEEDUBBIN in Paignton, Devon. We also attend some of the bigger VW shows together as a club such as Bug Jam. Full details are included in the club newsletter.
The club is run around a newsletter which is posted out to members on a quarterly basis which includes the latest news from the buggy scene, reports on events the club has attended or will be attending, features on members buggies and details of the latest discounts available. On joining members also get a free club sticker and a club T-shirt is also on offer for a small fee of £12. Club jackets are also available to purchase priced at £25.
