Title: BVF- Club Camping - need to book in advance 3rd/4th July
Post by: PeteG40 on May 05, 2010, 10:13:02 pm
Hello to all,

I've sorted a club g40 camping/show spot at British VW Festival for 2nd/3rd/4th July.  They give you a stand/plot depending on how many people actually book in advance, which you can easily do on their site.  They have changed it this year as you quite often get clubs which dont have enough space and others which have a huuuge pitch with one or two cars.

This is an ace show so i'd encourage people to book and come meet everyone - and dont forget the free beer offer which is here....  http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4249.0.html

The site to book at is www.bvwf.co.uk and you need a password specific to the club - this is supercharged.

So come on everyone - get it booked.  Its only £30!


Pete

Well one reason why i bought my car is to be able to go to meets and shows etc and usually there all up north and too far to travel but this one is only a 2 hour drive so count me in for this one. Will be good to meet up!

That's great - but if people don't book on the site, then we don't get a pitch.  I'll be booking soon enough.

so are they actually planning on marking out each club stand in a different size depending on how many cars each one has booked?  Seems like a bit of a nightmare to organise!  Do you know what the cut-off for booking a place on the club stand is (since I assume they're going to need a fair while to organise these spaces)?

just paid, I thought £1.25 was a bit much just to send out a bloody ticket, which isn't exactly cheap anyway :)

Anyway, not to worry, it'll all be worth it.

Just a reminder for people, cut off date for pre-booking is next week.  If you don't book in advance you wont be on the stand.

I would like to book but my polo definantly won't be ready. Can I camp with you lot anyway or should I just buy a normal ticket ? And is it £30 per car or per person ?

not really sure. they did e-tickets last year but in previous years it's always been posted in the mail a couple of weeks before the show, sounds like they've gone back to that.

got in touch with them - apparently thats an admin fee... and they say bvf is not for profit, so didnt moan too much
Title: Re: BVF- Club Camping - need to book in advance 3rd/4th July
Post by: Steve on June 27, 2010, 01:14:45 pm
Why could they just not add that to ticket price. Or to be fair the amount the're charging for the ticket have it included in the £30 price.  Complete Con!

Been away for 2 weeks and just got back at weekend. Received an e-mail that contains a pdf file of the ticket. Do you print that off and take that as your ticket? I thought they were going to be sent in post?
