Awesome Thanks Geoff. I can't wait for this show again, it's always one of my favorites
-
The show is just two months away now!
The pre reg on www.gcvws.com will be open next week and we highly recomend using the pre reg to make sure you get a spot in the event. This go's for swap vendors as well!
If you know someone with an freshly restored or custom VW that you think would look good in the pages of your favorite VW magazine send us a few pic's and info and we'll pass it along.
The Magazines will be on hand looking for feature cars but giving them a heads up may help your chances of having it featured.
If you have a Club and would like to set up a display please send me an email with how many cars (you must pre reg all vehicles for club display) you will have on hand and we will do our best to set aside space.
-
Pre reg is open! Visit www.gcvws.com

Sherri, was getting the Martin family organised for the up and coming weekend .she called the langley events centre to get some info and found out they are not turning the water park on this weekend , my kids were pumped for the water park
not sure who in the DVKK is in contact with the langley events centre but if you have a moment and could ring them up and see if you could get the water park online for sunday that would be huge for all overheated families
looking fwd to the weekend .
thanks Jim

I haven't ever entered in this show but if you have pre reg. then bring it. Other than that, you shouldn't need anything. ;)
