some info about this event...!
:cool:
BYOE (bring your own everything)! food, drinks, portable bbq's/hibachi's, event tents/umbrellas for shade, beach towels & blankets, folding picnic tables, sunscreen, swim shorts, sporting goods, hoolahoops, hackey sacks, portable stereos, family, kids, friends, dogs, yourself...everything and anything you need to enjoy a good, long day at the beach!!
last time we did a vw beach bbq, everyone brought there own stuff and a few extras to share, and it all worked out great! i'm not saying go buy out costco, but you know what i mean. personally...i'll have a few coolers full of beverages for whoever needs them aswell as some extra snacks & some extra smokies!!
:cool:
we will be collecting canned & non-perishable items for the food bank. i will put a few cardboard boxes behind my car and if you get a chance to make a small contribution that would be very much appreciated! a little bit from each one of us will make a huge difference to those in need!!
:cool:
this will be a super casual, easy going event with the emphasis on having FUN!! everyone and their families and friends are welcome, even if you dont currently have a vw on the road, come on out and enjoy a great day with some amazing people in a spectacular location!!

just so everyone knows...
the cruise and the beach bbq will happen rain or shine!!
...because a day cruising vws and hanging at the beach with great people is always a good time regardless of the weather!! :) :cool:

cruise route & info...!!
:cool:
wreckless driving will not be tolerated. this will be city, park & beach driving so please be mindfull and aware of the cars, bikes, people and animals all around you. cruising speed will be a casual 20-40 km/h (2nd & 3rd gear)!!
:cool:
the scenery in these parts at this time of year can be distracting, again, please be mindfull and aware of all those around you!!
:cool:
we've done this route before with a bunch of cars and it is no problem. a little seperation (due to red lights, stop signs, traffic, ect) may occur at times so dont be alarmed and just drive safe and follow the route. we will pull over at certain spots to regroup and then continue!!
:cool:
highlights will include a meander down commercial drive, across the dunsmuir viaduct including a view of false creek and the 2013 GCVWS location site at concord pacific, past bc place & rogers arena, straight down georgia st and through the heart of downtown, winding through beautifull stanley park & english bay, across the burrard street bridge and past kits beach, down point grey road and past jericho beach with the final resting stop being spanish banks!!
:cool:
cruise route directions and maps will be handed out at the start!!
:cool:
meet at clinton park (1st ave & slocan st) at 930am, cruise starts at 10am sharp!!
let's have some FUN!!
