A FEW COMMENTS RECEIVED ABOUTPREVIOUS VW ACTION EVENTS...““There’s just something about VW Action that keepsus coming back for more. We put it down to thelayout and the fact that it has such a chilled-out,family-friendly, VW-clubby feel to it - despite being abig show.” - Volksworld Magazine“VW Action is the UK’s longest running VW show andit’s easy to see why this perennial favourite alwaysdraws a very big crowd. It’s the perfect balance ofdrag racing, show cars, traders, activities andentertainment that has been carefully honed into onesweet VW family festival that never fails to impress.” -Ultra VW Magazine“There simply wasn’t another event like VW Actionduring the show season. It’s out there on its own, forall the right reasons.” - Volksworld Magazine“It’s great to know that VW Action has become a trulyEuropean affair, as the influx of fresh show cars reallylivened things up.” - Ultra VW Magazine“Unlike a lot of UK shows, Action still seems to attracta huge amount of Beetles, and for us, that’s a goodthing.” - Volksworld Magazine“The team behind this year’s VW Action had everyright to be happy. The ‘new’ home for the VW Actionof today certainly works, with the added attraction ofthe world famous Santa Pod dragstrip, there’s alwayssomething going on.” - Volksworld Camper & BusMagazine“A genuine thanks from my family. Enjoyed the weekendmuchly. The show and shine standard was awesome.”“What a great show! The care and attention to detailwas there throughout. I can’t think of any other showpromoter who creates, builds and even airbrushestheir own stage set. I doff my cap Mr Burrows”“It was my first time at Action - in fact it was my firstVW event and I’d just like to say we had fun from thesecond we got there. The kids absolutely loved it andI shall definitely be a regular from now on. Thanks fora fantastic weekend.”“This, in my opinion, has been the best show I’ve everattended. Thanks for the free beer as I drove throughthe gate, nice welcome surprise. Met some newpeople, had an orsum weekend, all of which wouldnever have happened without your and the crew’shard work. Cheers for a top weekend.”“Fantastic weekend from start to finish. Thanks toeveryone involved in putting on such a great show.We had a couple of vw show virgins up with us thisyear and they had an awesome time.”“Had a real good weekend. Caught up with somemates and made some new ones and managed to getrid of quite a bit in the autojumble. The beer was anice touch too - cheers Bri.”“It was our club’s first club camping outing and I cansafely say we all had a good show. Almost too muchgoing on, it was very very hard to get up for work thismorning. It’s the ‘must do’ on my calendar.”“Saturday night really takes this event stand out fromany other VW event, as when the sun starts to fallbehind the horizon, the night racing starts and this isan absolutely brilliant spectacle for the visitors to theevent.” - Volksworld Magazine

INTO ACTIONINTO ACTIONWelcome to VW Action - the longest running VW

Show in the world, and has in one form oranother been the true ‘Jewel in the Crown’

of UK VW events, from its early days at Stoneleigh,the NAS Stoneleigh shows, the period of its residency atPeterborough, at Herts County Showground, and now atSanta Pod. The last few years at ‘The Pod’ have producedquite exceptional shows, and 2014’s event raised the baryet again. The ‘Zombie Fright Night’ theme, complete with‘West End’ big budget stage set that converted themarquee into ‘Jensen’s Cemetary’ was embraced by alland the show received critical acclaim from all whoattended.

2015 will continue the great tradition of VW Action deliveringthe absolute best event for the true VW enthusiast. VWAction is a show to which people are happy to bring theiryoung family members, and yet which provides full onentertainment for all of its visitors, whatever their age orinterests. 2015 will see a pastiche ‘Mods and Rockers’theme - with Saturday evening’s stage dressed as ‘SwingingSixties London’. Think ‘Mods’, ‘Rockers’, think ‘Twiggy’,‘Mary Quant’, think ‘Austin Powers’ or think anything‘Swinging Sixties’ - with Jensen D Groover playing 60sPop, Soul, Disco, Dance and Indie Anthems and the NarniShakers as Sexy Sixties Ladies, as well as live rock musicfrom the UK’s top Who tribute - ‘Who’s Next’ and with theFuellers Bar turned into a tongue-in-cheek ‘Secret DanceParty’ - Saturday night at Action will have something foreveryone. There is more information on the entertainmentpage opposite. We hope to see many cool Mods andRockers in attendance - and if previous years are anythingto go by, we know you won’t disappoint us.

But more than anything else, VW Action is about thecars. Action is one of few shows which is truly abouteverything Volkswagen, and the event welcomes thearrival of every VAG vehicle with equal enthusiasm. Earlyand late Vans and Buses, ‘Old’ and New Beetles, Golfs,Polos, and every other representative of the water cooledrange, street cars, show cars and race cars - VW Actionreally is the best place for a true VW enthusiast.

Every year we hear from people who have brought ‘nonVW enthusiast’ friends as new visitors, who have beeninstantly converted to the cause. The fact that they areso readily accepted by everyone is testament to just howfriendly and inclusive the VW community is. VW Action isas much about the friendliness and hospitality of othershow-goers as the quality of the show itself. VW Actioncan be a weekend camped amongst like-mindedenthusiasts, sitting, chilling, and meeting new friends, or

a fully involved, participative fun fest!

For at least one weekend of 2015,forget the daily grind and enjoyyourself - have a good ‘un!

NAS Events Crew.

VW ACTION EVENING ENTERTAINMENTVW ACTION EVENING ENTERTAINMENT

JENSEN D GROOVER & THE NARNI SHAKERS

DJ PETE FEARNknows how to keepa dancefloor busyand will bemanning the decksto keep the energylevels up.

The party kicks off with a special ‘Sixties Rock,Pop & Soul Anthems’ set from Mod DJ PhilippeDe Franglaisman. All the way from France,Philippe will be warming up the night for whatfollows... and that is ‘Who’s Next’. The UK’spremier Who tribute band should appeal to bothMods and Rockers alike.

FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE MAIN MARQUEEWe have two great House/Dance acts to play onthe Friday night at VW Action this year - DJ AshFern and the return of VW Action favourite DJTrademark along with The Narni Shakers. Both witheclectic and crowd-pleasing sets, ranging from OldSkool House to cutting edge Drum N Bass. Ashsimply smashed it at Big Bang last year - so weinvited her to VW Action to spin some tunes -followed swiftly by the return of Mark.

VW Action veteran DJ Trademark has come upthrough the ranks. His move onto the turntablescame in 1990 when he was working with Bug Kann& the Plastic Jam and was the driving force behindthe all time rave classic ‘Made in 2 Minutes’, andas a result he got the call to perform at the nowlegendary World Party Raves. Trademark has alsoplayed at events all over the UK and Europe - andhas supported the likes of Carl Cox and TheChemical Brothers at the V Festivals. Mark hasplayed at many VW Action events in the past andwe’re proud to invite him back. Not to be missed!A must for all dance fans.Main Stage/Marquee, from 8.00pm Friday Night.

SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE MAIN MARQUEEVW Action ‘Swinging 60s Mods & Rockers’ PartyFor years now one of the most anticipated elementsof VW Action has been the Saturday night ‘themeparty’. The level of participation in the fancy dresshas been mindblowing. 2014 was particularlyimpressive as the marquee filled up with Zombies,Vampires and all manner of scary monsters. Thisyear, the theme is ‘Mods & Rockers’ with a strong‘Swinging Sixties’ feel. We look forward to seeinglots of Mods, Rockers, Greasers, ‘Cool Britannia’Sixties Boys and Girls in attendance. Once againwe’ve dressed the stage like a full-on West EndMusical - transforming it into ‘Sixties London’complete with giant props - and we’re hoping thatyou go the extra mile with your costumes too.On past experience it’s certain most visitors will.

FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE FUELERS BARThe VW Action Indie Rock Alternative Party

Parodying the ‘secret raves’ of the nineties, forSaturday night we have converted the Fuelers barinto a Dance/House party with two great DJs.

First up is DJ Craig Cutup Jones. VW enthusiastCraig is the 2014/2015 BPM Freestyle Championand dance fans are in for a real treat if they catchhis set. Playing on the Friday night at this year’sBig Bang event, Craig absolutely smashed it - sowe invited him back for VW Action. He is swiftlyfollowed by Action favourite Niki Dimensionswho blew everyone away on the Main Stage atlast year’s VW Acion event.

Niki is also a Veedubber and started DJ’ing in1990 after saving a year’s worth of paper roundmoney to buy a dodgy set of Soundlab decks andPhonic mixer. Through most of the nineties heplayed at Labrynth, One Nation, Best of British(Jungle Raves) and Raindance and partied everysummer in Ibiza. Niki was one of the first DJs(along with Alias A) to play House Music onPassionFM around 1999 when the station waspredominantley UK Garage and 2 Step. Fastforward to the present day and you can still findhim on Passion every Wednesday night 8.00pm-10.00pm, playing the most luscious Deep Houseand Ambient. His mission statement in life...“All I wanna do is make people dance.” Let’s notdisappoint him!Fuelers Bar from 7.30pm Saturday Night.

EUROPE’S MOST BEAUTIFUL VWHaving been reintroduced in 2007, after many yearsabsence, the ‘Europe’s Most Beautiful VW’ Trophyis to be contested again for 2015. All of the trophy’sprevious winners have been truly outstandingvehicles and we hope this trend continues.

BIKE SHOW & SHINE ANDKIDS’ SHOW & SHINEThe Cycle Show & Shine, is open to anyone (allages) wishing to display their lowrider bikes, beachcruisers, or choppers (including derivatives). Sincea number of people use two wheels to cruise theevent venue, we have decided that in recognitionof the ingenuity and engineering skills on display,we’d like to assemble the best examples in oneplace. We will award two trophies - ‘Over 16s’ and‘Under 16s’ and there will be a preview lineup ofbikes on Saturday in front of the Main Marquee.The lineup will be reassembling on Sunday andjudging will ONLY take place on the Sunday.VW Action 16 and under Show & ShineSunday only - the VW Action Show & Shine willinclude a display of ‘vehicles’ owned by 16s andunder - VW owners of the future.

Trophies will be awarded for‘Winner’ and ‘Runner-Up’. Please bring your ‘ride’to the Show & Shine Arena by midday Sunday -there is no display of this class on Saturday. Thismeans that you have all of Saturday to perhapsarrange for some pinstriping detail, courtesy of ourresident ‘striper and polish and clean your ‘rides’.Potential Exhibitors/Parents please note entry is ‘onthe day’. Entry forms, which will be supplied inthe Show & Shine arena by the marshalls, must befully completed and attached to the vehicle.

CONCOURS COMPETITIONSFEATURING ‘EUROPE’S MOSTBEAUTIFUL VW’VW Action has always been at the forefront of Show& Shine/Concours events. For many years Actionhas been a leader, not a follower. A few years ago,the show broke with the tradition of a class basedstructure, for one simple, very good reason. Toomany great cars were leaving without a trophy,especially in the most hotly contested classes. The‘Top Twenty’ format at Action has now been takenup by many other shows, as it is the means bywhich the greatest number of deserving cars arerewarded with a trophy.

The scale of the VW Action Show & Shine however,means that there are separate ‘top ten’ prizewinnersfor Custom Air Cooled and Water Cooled cars and‘top fives’ for Stock/Standard. The Show & ShineConcours takes place on Sunday, with Saturdaybeing reserved for the ‘EDV’ (Every Day Vehicle), atrailer queen free zone, exclusively for cars whichsee regular use on the road. None of the show carcompetitions at VW Action have an entry charge,so if your car attracts admiring glances, be sure toenter in the appropriate free Show & Shinecompetition.

EVERYDAY VEHICLE CONCOURSSaturday Morning Assembly - 2.45pm returnto Main Marquee for Trophy PresentationThe number and quality of entrants has increasedover the years to the point that we have had toincrease the number of trophies to 20, offering 10for WATERCOOLED vehicles and 10 for AIRCOOLED.

Our judges recognise the different considerationsinvolved in ‘daily drivers’. If your vehicle is youreveryday transport then it’s not expected to beflawless, so don’t be shy. In this competitionespecially, cars that are genuinely ‘dailies’ often winout over cars that are immaculate but arequestionably in ‘frequent’ use. We would notdiscourage anyone from taking part, but please, ifyou don’t win anything try again on Sunday. Entry inthis event is a MUST if you are proud of your VW.

Thishas once again been made possible by the fact thatVW Action is a couple of weeks before the ‘FIAEuropean Finals’, and a number of cars will havetaken the opportunity to get some testing in beforethey race in earnest. Look out for the sessionsinvolving the Supercharged Outlaws, the Taz Racingboys and girls, The Gasser Circus and Outlaw Streetracers - all of whom should all be out in force.

BRAD’S CANCER FOUNDATION HOOPLA STALLIn 2009 many people bade farewell to the ‘Chop Shop GangsterCar’ in their own way, ‘giving it a whack for Brads’, which helpedthe show raise a substantial sum for the charity and 2010 saw‘Brad’s Buckaroo’ raise more money as folk tried to stack the mostboxes on the roofrack of a Bug (along the lines of the MB GamesBuckaroo game.) In 2011 we had a ‘Pirate Treasure Hunt’ and for2012 NAS Events supplied/donated a ‘Grease’ Peep-Thru’ PhotoBoard which was a major success. We continued in a similar veinfor 2013 with the Superman and Wonder Woman Peep-Thru’ PhotoBoards and last year’s ‘Zombie Skull’ Coconut Shy was a hugesuccess. For 2015, VW Action have provided a ‘Hoopla Stall’meaning every £1 donated goes to Brad’s Cancer Foundation. Justa £1 donation and get all the hoops over the posts to win a prize.Located at the Brad’s Cancer Foundation stand in the Trade Area.(Please see map on page 5.)Please also check out the BRAD’S CHARITY AUCTION.
