Aylesbury VWOC meet May 2025 (part 1 of 2)

In previous years I would attend a show / rally and then post a review about the show the following weekend. However this year I have been too busy, so for this year only, I will post reviews of all the shows / rallies I attended over the summer months throughout the winter.

The Aylesbury Volkswagen Owners Club (AVWOC) is a Facebook based club set up in 2020 for anyone owning a Volkswagen or VAG vehicle. The club has grown rapidly with over 1,300 members in just 5 years. Once a month they hold a 'Breakfast' meet at the Akeman Inn, Kingswood, near Aylesbury, Bucks. This monthly event has event has also grown in popularity and the large car park is almost always full of members vehicles, both air-cooled and water cooled. This month's breakfast meet was held on Sunday 11th May and as the forecast was good and I had some free time I jumped in my bus and headed over to join in the fun.

As my blog is air-cooled based I try to keep my photos to air-cooled vehicles, so apologies to all the water cooled AVWOC members.

Reversing into my parking space, I think
that's far enough!

 So that was the first of two instalments about the AVWOC. Next week will be part two where you can see plenty more cool air-cooled vehicles, so be sure to come back and check them all out.

Stanford Hall VW Show 2025 (part 3 of 3)

 For this year only: In previous years I would attend a show / rally and then post a review about the show the following weekend. However this year I have been too busy, so for this year only, I will post reviews of all the shows / rallies I attended over the summer months throughout the winter.

The Stanford Hall VW show this year was held on Sunday 3rd May, and is an annual one day event organised by the Leicestershire and Warwickshire VW owners club, and held in the grounds of Stanford Hall, which was built in the 1690's in the beautiful village of Stanford-on-Avon, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire, LE17 6DH. The grounds also has the River Avon gently flowing through the grounds, and provides a spectacular backdrop for a VW show. As Stanford Hall is only about 60 miles from my hometown, and as the weather forecast was promising I decided to drive up. I have been to this show over the past few years and there is always a good collection of top quality VW's of all varieties with plenty of trade stands and an auto jumble and all set in the beautiful grounds of Stanford Hall. The review continues as I wander around admiring all the cool vehicles.

Looking towards the trade area, it does
get very busy down there.

Hundreds of split screen buses all in one
place.

How cool is this old snail?

Lovely stock T25.

I did like this bay.

Suzie keeping cool in the shadow of a
lovely ratty early bay.

So that was the Stanford Hall show for 2025. Overall another great show in a great location. This show has to be in the top 10 VW shows in the U.K. The sheer number of vehicles of all varieties that attend is huge. The trade area is always a fantastic place to find what ever your looking for, and sometimes something your not looking for. If your just going to attend a few shows next year, make sure the Stanford Hall show is on your list.. you will not be disappointed.
