Meets, cruises & catch-ups
A drive out, a meal, a coffee and a chance to talk Volkswagens. You’re welcome to try a meet before becoming a member.
York Classic VWs Owners Club
Local Volks.
Lasting friendships.
Aircooled at heart, with a welcome for all VWs and the people who love them. Join me and the York Classic VWs crowd for meets, camping, show weekends and good company.
York, Yorkshire · Free membership
A club with a little character
Your VW.
Your people.
York Classic VWs is the local owners club I run for the love of Volkswagens. It’s about bringing people together, sharing knowledge and enjoying our VWs out on the road.
You don’t need a show winner—or even a VW that’s currently running—to come along and say hello. A love of Volkswagens is a good place to start.

Club meets & days out
Next club meet: TBC
Date, time & venue: to be confirmed.
It’s mostly aircooled hibernation time now, so things are a little quieter. I’ll share details here and in the club group once the next get-together is arranged.

Good Volks. Good company.
A little of club life.
Camping & show weekends
Club camping, days out and stands at VW shows. The club has won Best Aircooled Club Stand twice at VW Festival.
Knowledge worth sharing
Members share practical experience, troubleshooting tips and encouragement to help keep our VWs on the road.
Family very welcome
There’s room for the next generation of VW lovers too. Children and grandchildren are part of the club’s extended family.
Real VWs. Real memories.
Out and about together.
