Looks interesting

We had a meeting yesterday at the world famous Brands Hatch race circuit. I took this photo when we were checking out the start/finish straight (you're not usually allowed to walk on the track!). The reason? Because on 20th September we are hosting the VolksWorld 25th Anniversary Party and we have booked the track to have a photo of YOU and YOUR VW for a huge celebration poster. The party will start at 3.00pm and the cars will start to go on the track at 5.00pm. We will then have VW show in the main grandstand area and party with live bands and DJs in the Kentagon at Brands Hatch. This will be a free event - no entry charge and ALL are invited.
Make a note in your diary now - this will be a one-off party!
We are looking into campsites and hotels in the area. This is literally 'breaking news' - further/full info will be in the mag and on our website and here. The Brands Hatch is brilliant and is right up for this event - they say that they would love to get 1000 VWs on the track! We'd love to do this and I am sure the national press and TV would be there to cover it! We will be inviting all our advertisers, VW specialists, racers, faces and most importantly - YOU! As I said it's going to be free - VolksWorld is footing the bill as a thank you to the support everyone has given the magazine and for making it the longest standing VW magazine in Europe.

Am I missing something - the 20th of September is a Thursday! I'll be able to get along after work but how many people can take time off work?

That's what I was thinking, would be interested but a one dayer on a thurs is a bit weird :?
 
I'm in talks with both Volksworld and the Hop Farm so this can be added to the start of Grill-n-Chill which is happening on the 21st-23rd of Sept. Could be a cool four days away!

It's FREE to get in (you need to buy your own food and drink), and we have lots of things going on to keep you entertained. The party starts at 15.00hrs, so make sure you arrive early and finishes around 23.00.

Clubs : Book yourself a plot in advance, e mail [email protected] in advance with the name of the club and the number of cars you are bringing along and we will reserve you a plot.

What's going on?

Photo opportunity on the start / finish straight.

We will be lining up as many air-cooled VWs on the main straight at Brands Hatch as we can for a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity that will then be made into a poster and be given away free with the December 2012 issue of VolksWorld. To make sure you are part of VW history, remember to tick the ‘car line up box' when you register. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VolksWorld" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; We will send you a line-up sticker to put in your car window. Positioning of cars commences at 17.00 so make sure you arrive in plenty of time.

Music in The Kentagon Bar
The Vision Tech Beats band, well known in VW circles, will headline our indoor entertainment, backed up by DJ Louis Newbury. Music will be from 17.00 to 23.00. A pay for bar and reasonably priced food will be available all evening.

Cool Flo
Cool Flo will be bringing their fine collection of Buses and laying on entertainment suitable for a warm summer evening. They always put on a good show, so make sure you stop by and say hello.


Drive ‘n' Shine
We always love to see great cars being driven to events, so we will be
picking the best cars out for an award. There's no need to enter, just
turn up, and if you find a sticker on your car, your VW will be one of the
Winners! You may even win Raddest Ride.

How low can you go?
Our laser measuring man will be out and about checking how low your ride is. You could win the award for Sickest Slam or Asphalt Assassin!


Party Bags
We will be giving away free party bags to the first 500 people that
pre-register for the event. Enter your details HERE https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VolksWorld" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and let us know if you wish to take part in the car line up on the start / finish straight and we will send you a 25th anniversary sticker in advance.

Got back from a very pleasant evening.

There were loads looking to go on the track, getting there after work meant I was at the back, out of the shot but hey, who cares! The van has been round the Indy circuit!

Not many earlybays, anyone else go?

yes great night, shame Volksworld can,t do this every year, turn it into a show/camping event, but i suppose it would be impossible to get Brands over a weekend?
