And we where still up after they had given in for the night....lol

will be there earlier this year I'm hoping and will be bringing the fire-pit that we obtained from avon last september (nice for someone to leave it for our benefit) and I'm hoping to find some suitable mesh for it to double as a bbq
(kill two birds with one stone so as to speak)

should be another great night, but we may have to use a different bit of the campsite possibly to fit everybody in more easily

Last year I didn't realise "we" had a stall/stand/display and I totally missed it when I was walking around too :( Our stand must have been WAAAAAAY over the far end.

With regards to this year, Do TRAX visitors REALLY want to look at my bog standard S60 D5? Don't bother to answer that :D

Hey folks, for those of you that haven't been before, don't worry about the exhibiting bit, putting your car on the club stand isn't a big issue, it doesn't have to be concours condition ( you should have seen James's Saffy's alloys last year .... lol ) and my T5-R looks like it's done more than it's 251000 miles. The whole thing is to get as many volvo's together as we can on the stand and the benifit to you is, you don't have to walk from the car park, your car is there with you for anything you need, and you don't have to walk back to it at the end of a fun filled day.....and it helps make the club stand more impressive :cool:

So no excuses get your Volvo onto the VPCUK Stand
Just ask for a car pass when you buy your ticket, pop it in windscreen on arrival and the marshal's will usher you to the VPCUK Stand no walking necessary :biggrin:

Here's some pic's of last years Trax and Saturday Social ( other wise know as camping :beer:

Who said Cherwell at seven? Apparantly (at a recent meet) everyone was moaning that 8 was too late to meet at Cherwell. So i think it may be 7am now? It means i gotta leave my house at 0415, but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do!


Cherwell Valley Services at 8am sound good to anyone? Good place to meet, get a bit of brekkie and then head up in convoy.
For those not local to the area the Cherwell Valley services are on the M40/A43 junction and are accessible from both the north and the south. Any change since our phone conversation Steve?
