"Transporter Talk"
Another glourious month over, a few milestones passed, and a club moving forward well month on month i think is the best description to sum up all that we have acheived in this rapidly moving month!! i beleive it would be fair to say....
EVENTS
BVF
As many will already be aware the Admin and a few members attended BVF [British Volkswagen Festival] this past weekend, and had a blast our own small friendly mini show with-in a show as they say, with ALL off our crew taking part in the legendary "Runfart" through the villiages surrounding Malvern and The Three Counties Showground, for our part in it headed by off course our Social Sec Chas, followed by Rob our Sec [and Mandie] along with members Glen and Ann showing as it goes in some cases better than some far greater and larger clubs, as was the case on our campground also, [our over all display given that it was our very first] was all in all a massive success, a few lessons learnt [like watch Chas carefully with his new purchases, it was worth going just to video his putting up of his sun canopy] the overall experience off all attending was fantastic making us further beleive the way forward for this club is working to the Ethos we have always maintained since day one!! that being small is beautiful and fun - free - friendly winning the day YET AGAIN... my due thanks and praise to both Chas & Rob for the organisation involved whilst i was sunning myself in France and to all who attended for making our very first BIG show a really resounding success.....
We are already thinking/planning another similar eve
nt before the end off the summer months and pre our September meet in Griezdale.... Details shall follow as soon as anything is finalised meanwhile if you have any suggestions feel free to air them in our Events forum, off where we could show, or hold an event in the future etc...
Forum
Our forums are once more getting better use i am happy to announce!! with more subjects being covered each and every day/week/month which after all is the point of them, we openly encourage ALL to contribute to the overall content of our forums which it is duly hoped will slowly grow into a veritable array off information relative to the owning, driving and custom building and of course running of your chosen model.... All types of maintenance, upgrading, customising and general service operations it is hoped will be submitted by our members in due course, so be sure no matter how big or how small that job is that you keep a pen & paper, along with your camera handy to record the whole event to later post as a how to in the relative "How To" forum, think how useful it would be if a "How To" already existed to help you with your current maintence or upgrade.
[c]Helping all to help each other which is what we at T4 -T5 Club UK is all about after all[/c]
Upgrades
A few minor behind the scenes upgrades and changes will be getting made over this coming week 5th - 12th off July to enable a better, faster and more reliable system for us all to enjoy, NONE off these changes should effect the general use nor enjoyment off your T4 -T5 Club, if you notice anything different please PM me direct and do not post unessesary "This doesn't work" etc posts on our forums Thanx ...

We all enjoy a good read, especially when that read contains details of a new exciting and innovative T4 or T5 build!! either in progress or likewise completed, so like myself why not gain the praise your personal creation truly deserves, why not start a build guide today in the relative forum and detail your build from purchase to completion either bit by bit or when completed either way building into a lasting account off your T4/T5 journey and encouraging others to follow suit..
