Spring Autojumble Visitors Choice Winner!

(Desmonds New Clothes)

Shelley Bolton was jumping for joy as she was presented with the Show n’ Shine – Visitors Choice trophy. The auto-jumble was Desmond’s first trip out in his “new clothes”, having had a winter make-over. Shelley has owned Desmond for 18 months, created her own custom made interior and even changed his clutch on the driveway! Worthy reward for Shelley after cooking bacon rolls all day!

Desmond Year: 1971 Engine: 1600cc Model: Early Bay with “cross-dressing tendencies” Colour: Pampus Green over Pearl White Interior: By Shelley Bolton Protected by Firetrace

Charity Raffle As usual, our Autojumble Raffle was raising money for Charity. £63 was given to Burts Boyz for their Marie Curie Cancer Research fundraising efforts. Look out for the purple hat at future events to be in it to win it! Big Thanks to Burts Boyz for sponsoring the Show n’ Shine Trophy

Spring has arrived with the season opening Autojumble at Great Blakenham. For many people this is their first VW meeting of the year and a chance to hunt for bargains, give your ride a run out, admire a great selection of VW’s and start to shake off the winter blues.

There were some great offers from traders along with treats from the kitchen. Some lucky vehicles were de-carboned and other just admired. A Ferrari even popped by to soak up the cool VW vibes.

Thanks for supporting the event!

BE A PART OF TEAM ALIVE & V-DUBBIN 2017

Alive & V-Dubbin wouldn’t be the show it is without a dedicated team of volunteers that care about it and want it to work. We think having club members as crew gives the event a friendly face. We have a fabulous new venue for our Club’s show in 2017, there has never been a better time to get involved. So its time to recruit our crew for 2017. We need volunteers for the following;

SET UP CREW –A huge part of the show is the set up week. We will be onsite from Sunday 4th June everyday till the show. So if you are able to help at all during this time (daytime only), please let us know. SHOW CREW –Attend the training evening Tuesday 6th June and be available for rota’d shifts during the 2/3 show days 9th 10th & 11th June. If we get enough volunteers it should work out that you will be rota’d for 2 days only.

PLEASE SPEAK TO A COMMITTEE MEMBER AT A MEET OR EMAIL

Spring Clean? – We need your unwanted DIY / Creative stuff!

The Alive & V-Dubbin team are on the look out for Paint, Material (any kind or colour), Wood and anything else you may have that we can use to

transform our new venue into a Movie Inspired Festival extravaganza.

if you fancy cutting and sewing a string of bunting together please contact us for the pattern!

New for Alive & V-Dubbin 2017 in the kids arena will be a tent just for tiny tots! We are looking for donations of good quality items such as tunnels,

toddler trampoline, ball pool, ride ons, play tents and large toddler toys. So if you have any of these your little or not so little ones have

outgrown Please email [email protected] or let a committee member

know at any event

Winter Walk in Rendlesham Forest Hardy Bugrs met for a dry but chilly stroll through Rendlesham Forest on 12th February, enjoying hot drinks back at the buses to warm up.

Have your say on Suffolk Bugrs activities. The Rendlesham Forest meet was arranged as a result of a suggestion from members to meet in different locations. Please feel free to speak to a committee member or email the club with your ideas.
