More About our VW Club
Are you local to York and have a passion for classic Volkswagens?
- Meet and share with likeminded VW owners.
- Come camping with the group.
- Exclusive club stands at VW shows.
- Have fun! Make Friends!
We reserve the right to cancel your membership with immediate effective for instance(s) of aggressive behaviour (verbally and/or physically) and/or abusive actions to persons and/or property during or outside of club activities (should a connecton to the club cause a negative view of the entire club). We pride ourselves on being responsible, mature adults who show respect to others. Actions which are likely to create tensions within the club are not tolerated or welcomed.
York Classic VWs Owners Club exists as an extension of the Classic Volks brand, bringing together local people who share a love of Volkswagens. We are aircooled at heart, but we warmly welcome all classic Volkswagens and the people who own them. Our members’ vehicles range from rare and iconic aircooled models to a variety of other classic VWs. Above all, the club is a place for Volkswagen lovers to find common ground, share their passion and enjoy good times together.
How can I become a member?
Providing you own a Volkswagen, complete and return a York Classic VWs Owners Club membership form by clicking the image below. There is no joining fee but there may well be some sort of initiation at some point - just kidding, it's free to join and we love to see our little local family grow.

Above all, being an active member of a club made up of fellow enthusiasts gives you the chance to come together with others to share knowledge, enjoyment and enthusiasm. At VW shows where we have a club stand, we’d love to have your VW parked up with us. York Classic VWs is completely non-profit, there is no membership fee, though we may occasionally ask for a small contribution towards things for a club stand.
Everyone is welcome at our meets and, as far as we’re concerned, the more the merrier. Our main aim is to bring VW owners together and help keep aircooled VWs on the road and being enjoyed. York Classic VWs is not part of the Classic Volks brand; it is the local VW Owners Club that I, Kate, run as part of my love of Volkswagens. My heart is definitely with the aircooled VWs, but we do welcome all VWs to the club. Membership is, and always will be, free, and members can benefit from discounts from a range of local and national VW-related businesses including garages, parts suppliers, insurance and breakdown companies. We continue to seek out more discounts and always encourage members to ask suppliers if they offer anything to us as a club.
We try to
get out together as a club just about as often as is possible given our respective hectic work and leisure lives. But when
we do, we certainly know how to make awesome memories! Our York Classic VW Owners club T-Shirts are available as part of membership along with a growing range of additional
club merchandise. Ask at our next club meet about T-Shirts and/or how you can get hold of other club accessories. If you are
on facebook, we have a group set up for club members only where we chat together and post up pictures and updates on shows
we are planning to attend etc. If you don't use facebook, then feel free to drop me an email and I'll do my best to keep you updated.
