WBC Spring Meet 2026 ( Bonus post)

 The Wolfsburg Bus Crew is a club on Facebook for owners of Volkswagen split screen, bay window and T25 buses. Even though the club is based in London, they have members all across the U.K. as well as all over the world. It doesn't matter if your bus isn't a show winner, you'll be welcomed whatever your bus looks like. The club organise club meets, and club stands at various shows throughout the year, arrange various runs and camping trips and they have also negotiated numerous discounts from various VW parts suppliers. The club have two club meets a year, one in the spring and one in the autumn both held at Wendover Woods, near Aylesbury, Bucks, and both with a camp out at a camp site next to the woods. This year the Spring meet was arranged for Saturday 18th April. This was just a 'WBC' member only event, where you could catch up with old mates that you haven't seen over the long cold winter. It's also a good chance to make new friends, and not to mention give your bus a shake down run ready for the summer season. 'Rich' who runs the WBC arranged for all of us to meet a a local supermarket in Aylesbury and cruise together up to Wendover Woods in convoy, (easier said than done!) a journey of around 7 miles. This week all the photos were taken by Rich. (Thanks for letting me pinch your pics mate!)

Rich's Westfalia Berlin (I think)

Plenty of room for all the WBC busses.

The day visitors to the Woods were
treated to an amazing convoy of vintage
VW's.


Stock or slammed?

winner of the Best Bus Award.





Nice photo of my bus.







This is the kind of traffic jam I don't mind
being in!

Every scar tells a story.



Love this photo of Fiona.


It's not often Fiona gets to be seen from
the back.


So that was the Wolfsburg Bus Crew's Spring Meet as seen by Rich. Many thanks to Rich for not only organising such a great club meet but for also the awesome photos and video. Next weeks blog review is all about the Stanford Hall VW Show where you'll be able to see a huge variety of air-cooled classics so be sure to come back next week.

To finish off this 3 part review is a photo
of my bus. 

So that was the Wolfsburg Bus Crew's Spring meet for 2026. Overall a very well organised event in a beautiful location. The sheer number of members travelling from all over to attend this event was very impressive. I was speaking to a couple who drove for 3 hours just to attend the meet. Next week is a bonus review of this event but all the photos were taken by Rich Coxhill so be sure to come back next week to check out his awesome photos and video.
