Cornwall Volkswagen Owners Club – Jamboree

Hi everyone, here we are in February 2014 and thinking about the 2014 event in August.

After the weather we have had to endure for the last few weeks, with more of the same to come, we are already praying for a warm and sunny event in August, we all deserve that at least.

The decision has been taken for the 2014 theme and, this year we are re-visiting the theme we had 10 years age and it is to be:

PIRATES

That will give everyone plenty of scope from coming dressed as Long John Silver to the full back of the Cornish Pirates or a parrot , whatever you fancy is fine by us.

As the organisation unfolds news will be placed onto the site.

A few of the early arrivals camped up in the camping fields

General camping begins to fill

Coloutful Bay in quiet camping

Set up on Wednesday and Thursday went really well with a really hot day on Thursday making it difficult to work hard at times.

Friday was a little cooler with just one light shower of rain lasting just 10 minutes with light breeze blowing it remained very warm.

The gates opened at 12.00hrs and our guests began to arrive.

Arriving at the pay point

Upon arrival there is a plenty of space to queue off the road and our team will check your pre booked tickets or issue on the gate tickets and wrist bands along with the customary goody bag.

Tickets please, here’s your goody bag

Many traders arrived on Thursday to set up in good time for opening time on Friday and this year we have around 70 trade and auto jumble plots for you to enjoy.

The evening arrived and the entertainment commenced in the marquee. Funky started things off with a disco session and at around 2030hrs the Rock & Roll Outlaws struck up and what a set they played, an excellent mix of known tunes delivered with professionalism and getting everyone involved. A couple of electricity cut outs added to the atmosphere bit this turned out to be too much kit plugged in to one power socket! oops

Hope to see you there today

With less than a week to go the CVWOC team are attending the West of England Steam Rally at the Showground this weekend to promote our event and secure further traders for the Jamboree.

We already have around 70 traders booked to attend from far and wide so there really should be something for everyone next week.

There is a music event that all of sudden has been organised to take place on Monday. We have had to agree nto work around their set up and we will see how things go and hope it will not prove to be too disruptive. Tickets to the show are £12.00 ahead and they have quite a list of bands playing with the event set to be a family show. There will be an open mike stage should anyone wish to serenade their visitors.

So,nearly there. If you would like an enjoyable day out this weekend with the whole show ground crammed full of Steam engines, cats, bikes, tractors and much more why not come along and support the WESS this weekend you will have a great day out.

After n extension pre-booking has now closed and is no longer available.

Don’t worry though we still have plenty of space on site. All you need to do is turn up and buy your tickets at the gate at the published prices.

As it is no longer to accept a cheque guaranteed by a card I am afraid payment will need to be made by good old fashioned cash.

Gates will open at 12.00 hrs on Friday 23rd August.

CVWOC Jamboree Team 2013 Welcome you to the Show

Cornwall

Volkswagen Owners Club Jamboree 2013

23rd to 25th August at Stithians Showground

The CVWOC Jamboree takes place every August Bank Holiday weekend and this year is our 27th event, the 9th at the Stithians Showground venue.

From Friday 21st to Sunday 25th August the site will be packed with Volkswagens of all types, ages and shapes, together with their owners and families.

We pride ourselves on the truly family nature of our show and when you visit there will be visitors from all generations from babies to octogenarians enjoying the friendly fun filled atmosphere.

Our gates open on Friday and, for the public we offer day entry on Saturday and Sunday. There is entertainment for adults and children throughout the day including outdoor sets by The Belfast Busker, Mr T and this year some local bands to give them exposure.

On Saturday there are displays of VW vehicles, this year centered around the Cabriolets of all ages and the diversity to be found in the camper interiors. Sunday will be the day of the Show and Shine car show with, we hope, at least 100 show cars to make visitors envious of the immaculate condition possible with vehicles that can be over 50 years old now.

A full range of caterers will be in attendance providing something for every palate together with a licenced bar and the all important Kellys Ice Cream Van! With over 60 trade stands offering items as diverse as cushions and engine parts there will be something for everyone.

Children

are well looked after and we have engaged the services of Mr Wacky and Richard Ready with their individual styles of magic and Richards, now famous, balloon animal creations.For the first time this year we have Mrs Marvellous Children s Entertainer for them too. When the bouncy castles, laser tag, and kids go karts are added in to the mix there is plenty for the youngsters to enjoy.

Evening entertainment comprises a band on Friday , the Rock & Roll Outlaws, a disco and fancy dress on Saturday with this years theme being the wild west and a band on Sunday, The Jubilee Boys.

This year our nominated charity is The Cornwall Air ambulance who will have a stand in the trade area so support them well please. We hope to be able to make a donation from Jamboree funds after the event so a massive attendance is sought to enable this to happen.

Day entry is just £5.00 which includes the evening entertainment should you wish to stay on. Children under age 5 are admitted free of charge.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to the show.
