VW Meets/weekends - which to go to?

[cotswoldiver]

Starting to see a few 'early warnings' for weekends next year and as I'm really new to this vw scene would appreciate some opinions as to which are the 'not to be missed' through to those you would class as leave to the last minute and if you can go 'go' sort of thing. Ideally which are great for families and those just to take the wife and the westy! Be nice to put some dates in the diary, already have booked Camp Bestival in July for the family which although not strictly a VW event caters for campervans and is a nice familiy event. This year managed a day visit to Malvern and a weekend at the Final Fling.

My 'unmissables' are Big Bang, Stanford Hall, Euro Bug-in, Peppercorn and Vanfest 8)

Volksworld show in March for a 'overall scene' picture

Big Bang VW Action and Bug Jam for some drag racing and the 'VW Festival' experience

Stanford Hall, Stonor Park, BVF and Peppercorn for the 'old school' buffing and swapmeet shows.

Vanfest for, a van festival

That should do, for starters 8)

Euro Bug-in 8)

Probably my number one priority show now

 

[Big Nick]

Stanford Hall (still one of my favourite shows), Bus Stopover (went last year - very chilled), Vanfest (coz it's Vanfest).

Always wanted to try Peppercorn

We would love to do European Bug In but I don't think our funds will stretch that far.

if you go to run to the sun 2009 you might get to see a renault 5 with a birdcage on the roof 8)

euro bug-in's good if you go with the right 'crowd' and somebody puts an ounce of planning into the ferry times...

Broarden your horizons, kick Vanfest into touch and go to Euro Bug in instead.
