Thank you from Myself and the GCVWS Staff.
What a long and bumpy road! This year was a tough one, Securing the best location in the City of Vancouver turned out to be a difficult and complex but we did it!
Our Staff worked for months to secure this venue, a BIG "THANK YOU" to everyone who helped make this possible.
What a incredible turn out on Sunday! It's truley amazing how even with short notice how the community can pull together and make an epic event happen like this. We had over 400 cars show up for this years event from all over the world. You heard that right, every year we get folks from across Canada, USA even Mexico drive up to our little show. This year we had a couple from France load their Bus on a ship and drive from New York all the way across Canada to Vancouver to attend our event!!!! That's amazing!
I've been getting a lot of "Thank you" for putting the show on but it's really all the hard working Club members who deserve the Thanks. These Guy's and Gal's step up every year to make sure this event happens and we can all have some VW fun.
Darren K, Hanawa, Brian Waz, Mirko, Bruce McCrindle, Gavin Lee, Jaga Rai, Allan Uyeno, Cameron Shorey, Gary Economy, Brad Purser, Dave Hord, Rob Spofforth and all the others.
