“STANFORD HALL VW UPDATE”
Due to the government postponement of all Covid-19 restrictions being lifted on June 21st, the show organisers Leicestershire & Warwickshire VWOC, have now moved the decision on whether the August 2021 show will take place to the week commencing 12th July 2021.
If, on this date, ALL restrictions associated with Covid-19 are removed from 19th July 2021, the show WILL then go ahead as planned on Sunday 22nd August 2021. ALL current bookings will of course be honoured. We apologise for this further delay but feel sure all will understand our position.
The government’s intended decision on July 12th will be followed by a statement on the Stanford Hall Show and Club websites and also an announcement on the LWVWOC Facebook pages.

Hinckley Classic Motor Show - 2021
2021-09-19
The Club are planning once again on attending the Hinckley Classic Motorshow which, fingers crossed, takes place on Sunday, 19th Sept ‘21.
This is a very informal show laid out in the streets of Hinckley town centre, attended by many different types of classic vehicles. There’s invariably other stuff taking place at the same time including children’s entertainment in the park and a 1940s wartime bar in one of the courtyards. So, all in all, a good day out, particularly as it’s free to enter!
We have managed to line up a dozen Beetles, campers and buggies in previous years, so it would be great to repeat the same or better this year. The cruise into town alone makes for quite a spectacle, as does parking up in the town centre!
If you’re interested in taking part, please contact James McGeachie (lwvwoc.membership@gmail.com).

If you’re not familiar with the show, the Stanford Hall event is seen by many as the year’s premier classic Volkswagen show but still retains a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere.
Since the first event in 1976, the emphasis has always been on putting on a great display of classic unmodified Volkswagens of all types. We have always aimed to give great value for money, whether it’s in the entry prices or the fees for the trade stands.
