Description: The Leicestershire and Warwickshire VW owners club was founded as two separate Clubs back in the Mid Sixties. Warwickshire Club was founded in the Biggin Hall Hotel on Binley Road in Coventry in 1964 and the Leicestershire Club started life as the Loughborough and District Volkswagen club in 1965. Anyway back to the club’s history.  Following various joint meetings at the end of the 1970’s both club committees felt that the way forward for both clubs was to amalgamate and go forward together as a stronger group.  This occurred in early 1980 at an EGM meeting held at the Prince of Wales public house in Hinckley.  A committee was organised and as they say the rest is history. Highlights for the club, other than our Stanford Hall event, are our regular European trips which started in 1983. Since then we have visited Germany and various VW plants on a total of eight occasions. This forthcoming year sees two further trips planned. The club has many other social events and trips associated with our hobby throughout the year, many of which we are able to subsidise due to the financial success of Stanford Hall. If this sounds the kind of friendly well organised club you would like to be a part of and you have any type of Volkswagen group vehicle, why not see our membership details in the links within this site and you can be sure of a warm welcome and we look forward to seeing you at any of our forthcoming events.
