When we paid our first visit to this show last year, we were expecting little more than a very traditional village fete, something you’d perhaps see in TV’s Midsommer, with perhaps a handful of Volkswagens thrown in. And in earlier years, that’s exactly how it was, but time has moved on, word has spread and the VW community has adopted this show as one of its own. The increase in people camping at the event was astonishing. From what looked like a couple of dozen camping units last year to well over three hundred this. There was a whole new camping field, and an overflow camping field as well.

Lance & Lisa Beaver tell the story of their...‘Old School' Westfalia Bay
The history of our bus is varied. I heard that it used to belong to a soccer player who lived in it for a while, and a tale of a cross country trip that was taken in it. Since we’ve owned it, we have been to numerous car shows with our car club Kahiko Kula and enjoy that immensely, but taking it camping is our joy.
Messing About in Boats
“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
