VKG UK Chapter - Please sign in!
 

It has come to our attention that there is alot of interest in a
UK Chapter of the VolkSport Kafer Gruppe. The founding members
of the US VKG have discussed this and are all in favor of starting a
UK Chapter.

If you are interested in joining the UK Chapter of the VKG, please
sign in on this thread. This way we can see how much interest there
really is.

Once there is enough interest, you UK members will have to vote on
your officers. Offierers will include the following titles

President (leadership, vision, event coordination participation, sponsorship acquisition, etc)
Treasurer/Promotions (money person, marketing leader (merchandise and public awareness), event coordination participant)
Secretary (newletters editor, website administration, event coordination leader, etc)

The president can handle more of the above tasks if you can only elect
2 officers and not 3.

We will supply you with VKG Merchandise in the beginning until you guys
get off the ground. We will also provide you with webspace on our
homepage www.volksport.net. We would suggest that you join our
webpage and load your car info and personal info there. At this time,
we feel that the VKG is not large enough yet to warrant another club website.

time to get your motor out and your names down guys!!! :D

Count me in.

Happy to help with website work and a newsletter...

:D

Sam C

At Last! :D
If i can help with anything let me know.

Darren

I'm happy to be a member, sadly I do not have enough time to be considered for a named role.

I'm in too, just not sure how much interest there is for setting up merchandise etc etc...

We already have T Shirts & Stickers made up. You will just have to figure
out how many shirts you need and I will have them printed for you guys.
Same with the stickers. We are also looking into hats and jackets as well
and if you guys were to get in on these at the same time as us we would
be able to get better pricing buy more at one time.

count me in adam, will my new porsche t25 van qualify beetle still in bits,

i'm up for this :D
no use at web stuff.
cheers rob

This is very cool. Just not sure how we can teach them to smack talk on the BK. :laugh:
It will great to have you folks with us. :agree:

This is great especially from one who originally came from the UK!!!
Glad you have you guys involved (I have been here quite a while as you can tell from the language I now use...)

UK...all aboard. would be glad to have you as part of the Gruppe and the family. keep the website thing simple. no use in overdoing it. just use our site. we are small enough that it only makes sense to have all in one pot.

just go to the site at www.volksport.net and sign up for an account. once you have the gruppe and dues structure together and are ready for people to officially become part of the gruppe, i can enable the accounts for the advanced functions on the site (personal gallery, content creation and publishing, etc). i will make one tweak to the user profile to identify the different chapters. all content on the site is self-maintained by the VKG members. you can add and moderate your own content as you see fit. just need to know who in the chapter will act as moderators. page additions are fine. let's just be sure to talk about any chapter specific navigation structure we need. you can use this forum freely.

get some officers elected. the basic gruppe structure already exists for you. piece of cake.

samcat, if you want to assist in finishing up resurecting some of the content (newletters, fixing the rules tables, etc), any help is appreciated. i lost all content from the old site and have to report it from two sites ago.

I may be the only one but I cant get on the site?
page cannot be displayed, you having troubles?

I am not having any troubles... :confused:

count me in, but can not do any work for the club as iam to busy building german lookers ;) Lee L.A.P

You can count me in as well guys!
Hopefully I'll have my 1303 running in the new year!

where are you guys at with this? is it a go? did you and vujade work out the details? i can have you guys up and running on the VKG site in no time once we know the chapter is official, dues are happening for you, etc.

You can count me in too!

I'm still building the bug, and I'm open to any kind of German Look inspiration!!! :D

Hopefully see ya at Dubfreeze, although the bug will still be at home in the garage!

Andy.

its seems like you guys got a pretty good size group of interested
people, its time for someone to step up and get with me so that
you can move forward and get things going.

I have t shirts, stickers, key chains for all potential new members.

Bug-er (adam) if its going to be you, let me know, otherwise somoene
else needs to take the lead over there so that you can get started.

Vujade
there is a uk based show this weekend, i have arranged a meeting so as we can see what sort of interet there is and how people would like to see the club progress
Adam

ok Adam, sounds good. Let me know how it turns out. :agree:

where do i sign up? :)

Hi,

i too would like to know where to sign up

Currently just finishing my restocal/german looker and should be hitting the strip at Big Bang

i might also be of some use with the raceshack dyno day idea

Alex

Ok, it looks like a few of you are ready to get organized and start the UK chapter. I think all the interested folks should email Bug-er at adamoakley45@hotmail.com . Then you can use the chat box on the VKG site or the chat room here on this site to elect officers and Zen will get a section of the VKG site set up for your chapter (Gallery, Blogs, Events, etc.). We will share this forum amd our chat room. Your chapter should set up its own dues collection, accounting system, meetings, etc. Spring is here and it is time to get the cars out and enjoy.

yeah i'm in too

is any one else other than me going to mini's v beetles at york this weekend?

i would be but i only just received my gene berg linkage yesterday so my car wont be up and running by then

I'm in!

Just got a '69 (my first bug) but the missus has a '71 Karmann and I have a T3 (Vanagon) which is becoming something of a project.

Let me know how I might help.

I'm up for it. T-shirt and stickers ready?

Matt

We have T-shirts and stickers. It might be better to send you the artwork if you guys can get them reproduced local rather than ship them across the pond. When you are organized and ready shoot me an email and we can get it done.
