Hi Club Members and Readers
Hi All and welcome to another edition of ViaWest. I have been away on holiday for the best
part of last month. I went to Myanmar formally Burma. During this trip I was eagerly looking out
for Volkswagens I saw two! The preferred cars there are Toyotas. Other than that it was a great trip. I went to the New city where there is a 20 lane road. Lets say it gets under used as I only saw 30 cars on it in the short time I was standing in the middle of it. Perhaps our transport minister can push for a wider free-
way over here.
Back to WA stuff. The Whiteman Park Classic car show was a great success we had a lovely display of 25
Classic VWs and along with our grand club tent we looked the part and filled our allocated area. Thanks to
the CMC for getting the show together again. We know what is involved in organizing an event of this size
and it can be challenging. Even tougher for them when the major sponsor pulled its funding. Such a shame,
as the profits go towards the motor museum.
As mentioned is my previous Presidents Spot, there will be a photography night for club members. The date
for this informal event is Thursday 6th June (the night after the next Alfreds) Bring your DSLR camera and if
you have one, a tripod. Itll be a fun night in the dark. With luck well get some beautiful shots for the maga-zine next month. More info on page 23 of this edition.
Check the event calendar on our site, and Facebook page plus notices in here for up coming events - as there
are plenty of things happening.
We are nearing the end of another financial year so put some dollars in your budget for your club membership
and merchandise for next year. If you know anyone that is wanting to join the club, they can join early we
wont penalize them so they can join now for next year.
Ending on a very sad note, three members of the club have lost their Kombis to fires. One was mechanical,
another a shed fire, but the third was Theft! Stella Fazari lost her beloved Kombi. It was stolen and found
burned out! Some people in society just dont understand our relationships with our loved cars/Kombis. Not only are they stealing, they are killing when they do these terrible acts of vandalism, its heart breaking. I
was personally cut up when I heard about these about these losses - my heart goes out to you all.
Club President Jamie Barrett

entrants including a 1926 Salmson
GSS with its 1.1 litre engine and a

The VW Club of WA was lucky enough to be invited and to host a great movie called "Circle the Wagen" by
the City of Perth in their Innovation Month. The movie was on the big screen in Northbridge - it was free and
fun! We grabbed some tasty takeaway and sat on the grass a great night under stars.
