Aircooled VW South Africa

any vee dub clubs on the east rand,,, if not how can one start something

The Johannesburg VW Club have members in and around Alberton, PM Dean for more info, his username is 53 ZWITTER SPLIT. Bunch of nice guys, you'll feel at home very quick!

Hi there,

Any specific rules or advice I need to know about to start a new club???

KZN is in desperate need of a club and I need to know what we can do???

Thanks for any advice...!

Hmmmmm, still awaiting some advice people... thanks

The biggest Problem is the INNDEMNITIES


When you are a club chairman or part of the Comitee and something serious happen on a run and the Partisapant has not signed a indem then your balls is actually on the line

The BMW club has such a senario and the members are getting sued

So be care full When I used to run the get togethers It was done on a social club level and tag along on own risk

But it is then Also Better to Join" SAM------" and register the club All paid up members will then be coverd by them
and you get different type of Events
Get to gethers
Motorsport related
Show and Shine

Even Last year when I stoped traffic for the Beetle club to have Right off way and some guy came flying past me and ride into a club member I would have been in BIG SHIT

So no more of those things

I used to get permission also from the different traffic departments and gave them the route that was going to be taken
And they would have had one or 2 men just on the look out for us


etc

Hope that gives you a better Picture

It is not as easy as it all seems but it is rewarding when you do it out of love for the ACVW

Thanks so much for your info Pierre.

Who is SAM??? where do I register the club??

Shot man - much appreciated

Think it is actually SAVVA South African Vintage Vehicle Assosiation something like that
Think the name was slightly changed last year after Myself and Dean and the other Guys of the JHB Beetle club were there

PM Dean for some info

thx bugger,

will try and follow up on that...

Forum is much better than a club.
I was chairman of the northwest vw club for more years than I care to remember.
Moans groans rants from each A@#$%^ with a clapped out bug Some of them dint even wash the car before a meet

Prerequisite for a hardcore buggy/rail club in the States, BTW

Yea, shot IMPI,

I guess we cant keep South Africans happy all the time. Pity it cant be like in the UK. Man those guys go for broke and they live and let live and make it work....for the sake of Aircooled Lifestyle...

I attended a Rouadhouse run few weeks ago with Lyel and the guys from North Gate for a milk shake, and although they advertised the date extensively there were only 4 cars.... that sucks man....Some people are easy to rant and rave and complain, but when their support is needed then they like ghosts.....

Pine, at least i washed my Rat look bug befor the run and polished those GTi wheels....lol

Yea, will try and organise something with the people who are keen....

Happy driving guys!!!!
