Thankyou for the kind words !

The last few years have proven difficult as we have outgrown the last 2 venues and have had a few curve balls thrown our way, we appreciate everyone's patience as we have worked hard in securing the weekend with new activities and a closer host hotel location so everyone can enjoy the GCVWS !

Now with the new locations secure things will be much easier and we can get out the info about the show weekend earlier to you in the future !

I've got a book, "VW Canada, the First Ten years" which has some cool old photos and info on VW Canada. I've only ever heard of this one, and one another on the Samba before. I was fortunate enough to obtain it from Jason a few years ago and will bring it out to the "Vintage Speed and Collectibles Event" Saturday afternoon for anyone wanting to check it out. (After the Zundefolge cruise to North Van.) Looking forward to some cool Vintage Speed stuff, along with literature and toys. Tired of all those duplicate VW toys in a box under the bed. (guilty ;) )  Bring em out to swap or sell! There's lots of space inside the hall.

One of the goals of the GCVWS this year is to help get this fire truck to the people who need it most.
Your donations make it happen!


This 1981 GMC Superior pumper was donated to FWB Canada by Wainwright Alberta FD. It has been moved to the Beaverly FD in Prince George for the winter, thanks to FWB member and Fire Chief Bruce Perrin. Soon it will be moved to Vancouver and then begin its journey to the Bomberos in La Mision on the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. FWB Member and YOLO Racing partner Ross Burden is directing this project. This will be our first apparatus donation to Mexico.

Hey Guys,
Just a heads up, The host hotel can only hold our block of rooms until the end of this week. (July 25th) after that they will be open to the public and may sell out fast due to a few weddings.

Reserve a room today to make sure you have one. You can always cancle it later if you can't make it.



The party will be in Andrews room  :-)

We're pretty excited for this years event. We have worked hard the past 6 months getting all new Saturday events for 2014, and now we have added "The Bus Movie" to Sat night.
Tell a friend, spread the word and lets fill the lot with not only Buses but every kind of VW!

Does anyone know if there is a campsite close to the host hotel or at least a cab ride away? We are coming from the Okanagan in the bus so it seems a shame to hotel it. I'd ghetto camp in the parking lot but my wife is not feeling great about that idea.
