Meet at Ozzell Bowl with bowling to commence at 2.30pm
Cost of bowling is £4.95 for adults and £3.95 for children
Its a pay on the day event but we are booking in advance and making a payment up front.
We hope to have an excellent turn out again this month, our first 10 pin bowling for a few
years.
The day dawned following a nice bright Saturday the day before, to present us with 8 octas cloud cover and the promise or rain later. Well, later became sooner and by the time, I arrived at Chiverton Cross an around 11.50 it was raining steadily and had turned quite chilly too.
i€t soon became apparent that at Chiverton it was turning into a ‘what a Bay day’ with three Bay’s joining me all of them having had work completed in the days and hours leading up to the off. One with an MOT passed a couple of days previously but with a lack of indicators, one with a dodgy fueling problem and the third seemingly in good fettle!
We headed off at about 12.35 and made our way to the Blue Anchor at Fraddon where we were joined by the Bodmin contingent a handful of T4s a Ghia and Georges Split.
At around 1.40 we set off heading towards Wadebridge and then across County via Camelford to Launceston. At Wadebridge we were joined by three others and a few miles from destination three more making our total exceed 20 vehicles, a super turn out for the first event of the year.
Once parked in the pub car park we made our way in and we were ushered to the upstairs room where an excellent buffet was laid out with plenty of tea and coffee to go around too. I reckon we had a better feed that we were presented with at the Xmas dinner last year lol.
A good couple of hours of quality natter time whilst enjoying the food was the order of the day and the consensus of opinion was that Tom, the organiser of the event had done a stonking job.
So well done to you Tom and of course Amy for getting the course and the venue sorted. You did so well Tom, yopu will probably now become cruise organiser in chief.
Looking forward to the next event already.
Norman
Just a reminder about the scheduled mince-pie cruise which will take place on Sunday 29th January.
Tom is organising the event and can be contacted via the contact page.
For more details of the event and the meeting places please check the Calendar page.
Hope to see you there.
At least still have a sense of humour!
A very Happy New Year to our Club Members and to all visitors to the website. Let’s hope we can manage to find the funds to attend the usual shows in 2012 even if the fuel costs have dramatically increased.
If the away events seem too far, make sure you join us for our regular events and the more local shows this year. Please see the Calendar page for known events to date. The Calendar will periodically be updated as and when we have more detailed information available.
Our first outing will be at the end of January and full details will be entered about a week in advance of the day. Hope to see you there.
Should raise a few smiles….
Hi guys,
>I normally wouldn’t do this, but it’s for a really great cause – so I’d be really grateful if you could please take a couple of minutes to read this.
Between April 6th and 13th I’ll be joining around 160 VW enthusiasts and riding a 50cc moped from John O’ Groats to Land’s End in aid of Brad’s Cancer Foundation. I’m financing my trip myself so every penny of any donations will go directly to the charity.
I’m hoping each of you can commit to sponsoring me for £5 – more would be nice, but a fiver would be great – and make a huge difference to the lives of some great kids.I know cash is tight and everyone is busy, but please take some time to read the details below.
If you can help please just reply to this email, if you can’t help, no worries, just click ‘delete’. The cash won’t need to be paid until the beginning of April by the way. I know we all normally groan when we get requests for ‘sponsorship’ – so, I’ll understand if you can’t help.
Thanks for reading.
Kind regards, Merry Christmas and a very happy 2012.

JOGLE 4 BRAD’S – VW ENTHUSIASTS ON 50cc MOPEDS!!!
Following an online discussion about long journeys on mopeds, a thread was started on Volkszone.com (VW) forums asking if anyone would be interested in a charity run from John O’Groats to Lands End – on 50cc > motorbikes!

As foolhardy an idea as it might appear, soon enough people started putting their names down and it has snowballed from there. There are now the best part of 160 riders and ‘support’ (following in VW Camper Vans) signed up, and, bearing in mind most only ‘know’ each other via the forums, it should prove for some interesting interaction – especially as the forums have some strong characters who have butted heads online previously.
We fully expect the trip to be full of ‘adventure’, dramas, comedy moments and the unexpected. The trip includes a visit to Nottingham City Hospital where the Brad’s charity has kitted out a ward for teenage cancer sufferers. The premise is simple, meet at John O’Groats in Scotland on the 6th April 2012 where we will rally together that evening at the John O’ Groats Campsite ready for the off on the (early) morning of Saturday 7th April 2012.
Over the following week, we aim to cover around 1,000 miles to Lands End in Cornwall while raising money for the Brads Cancer Foundation along the way.

The whole journey will culminate in a weekend VW Camper Festival (again, with proceeds going to Brads) – please see: > http://www.vwaction.com/vwactionsw/index.php —————————————————————————
Webmaster:
We wish Brian well and look forward to seeing how well he survived the trip as mopeds don’t have hide upholstery, air conditioning and all the creature comforts his large Chrysler provides……………bet he will be knackered with a capital K!
We have been offered space to put a display on for CVWOC and hope to pre sell weekend tickets for the Jamboree and Club merchandise. Helpers will be needed. Please contact via the Contact Us page if you would like to help.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all members and visitors to our website a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Take care if you go to parties and take the car with you. the last thing you need to do is be pulled over, breath tested and found positive. Then begins a traumatic period of your life, back to using non-existent public transport, possibly the loss of your job and in extreme circumstances even your home and most importantly you would not be able to drive your beloved VW to shows or on cruised……..disaster for sure! Be wise, if you drive DONT drink and, if you do, make your way back home leaving you car where it is.
Have a great time but plan before you go out so the decisions are made when sober and not with a skin l and when you think you really are an invincible superman !
Oh yes, don’t forget to make sure your pets are not forgotten if you have fireworks over the Festive Season, they still go bang even in December!
