Events

VW Action is the longest running VW Show in the UK and the last three years at 'The Pod' have produced some quite exceptional shows. 2010 will continue the great tradition of VW Action by delivering the absolute best event for the true VW enthusiast. It's a show to which people are happy to bring their young family members, and yet which provides full on entertainment for all of its visitors, whatever their age or interests. Every year Action has a theme, and this year, they're having an early Christmas so pop on your santa hats and crack out the tinsel for Saturday nights entertainment. Alongside this there is the spectacle of the track with the RWYB and various classes battling it out all weekend on the strip along with the usual show format with a hugh show and shine and trader area to keep everyone occupied. It promises to be another great show so if you fancy coming along check out the website by clicking on the Action banner above.
