 Hi everyone! Just to let you all know that we have been looking into joining the ABVWC (Association of British Volkswagen Clubs). We are able to join as a club for just £10 for the year!!  This will have many benefits for us as a club!  These include... (copied from the ABVWC site)* Competitive motor insurance scheme (and other insurances available) . * AA discounts on their breakdown services for club members. * Nationwide and local discounts on parts and accessories. All commercial adverts on this page support the ABVWC through discounts and commissions paid. Supporting them supports the ABVWC, but the main reason is we know they will give you the best deal. * GAP SECURITY; big discounts on car security products with commission to clubs on sales. * APH airport parking discounts. * Liaison with 40+ VW Clubs up and down the country. Club Listing * Cheaper club plots at Shows where ABVWC participate. * Support to independent clubs and registers. * Event Insurance (Public Liability) covered by the ABVWC insurance policy The last benefit (of Public Liability Insurance Cover) is going to be particularly useful...as it has been suggested that this will become more of a requirement in the near future! Click here to peruse the ABVWC site!!I personally think that for £10 for the whole club for a year....we really can't say no!! *I'll just boil up the kettle, and send the two Lisa's round with the donations pot!!!*   Let us know what you think....then we'll get this organised and paid for!!

Lisa and I wrote the application letter for the ABVWC on Saturday, and it has been sent off with the membership fee. Here is a copy of the letter... I am writing on behalf of Kettering’s Un-named Dub Club, to apply for membership for the Association of British VW Clubs (ABVWC).
The KUDC is a local VW Club, covering Kettering and the surrounding areas. We are open to all Volkswagens, both air and water-cooled. There is no membership fee; however, club funds are raised through raffles, tea and coffee donations etc. These funds are then used for club purchases, such as a club flag, tools (which can be used by all members), and any other items required by the club. We have regular meets (every three weeks) which are always well attended.
We have a lively forum at smokeydub.proboards100.com. We have also recently purchased a website with the address – www.kudc.co.uk, which is currently under construction.
Although on our forum we have over 130 registered members, at club meets, our average number of regular members is usually around 25. Obviously, this can differ from meet to meet. Our members range from as young as 14, up to around 55+. As a club, we attend a variety of shows and rallies during the year, with many of our members camping at a number of these events.
We also organise social events, such as bowling, a Christmas night out, engine strip-down- look and learn, and inter-club meets with other local VW clubs.
The KUDC had its first meet on 6th February 2007, and has gone from strength to strength ever since. We now feel it is time to make the KUDC part of the wider circle of VW clubs, by becoming a member of the ABVWC.

Did notice a few grammer mistakes. gram·mar –noun 1. the study of the way the sentences of a language are constructed; morphology and syntax. 2. these features or constructions themselves: English grammar. 3. an account of these features; a set of rules accounting for these constructions: a grammar of English. Sorry couldn't resist that one |
