If you remember in 2008 the Cornwall Volkswagen Owners Club Easter Swapmeet was held on a very cold day with a bitterly cold easterly wind and eventually snow flurries! Well this year could not have been more different.
The day dawned with wall to wall blue sky and bright sunshine. So lovely was it that all the table space that was booked in the hall remained empty with everyone doing their thing outside in the lovely, warm, spring sunshine.
Attendance of the event seems to increase year on year and this year was no exception thats for sure. Vehicles were many and varied and if you did not take a look around the overflow parking we use at the health centre adjacent to our site you missed seeing lots of interesting buses, vans and cars.
Types ranged from a brand new Beetle Cabriolet to Karman Ghias, Beetles, Baja Bugs, Splitties, Bays, T25’s, T4s, T5’s, Golfs, Bors, Scirocco Type 3s the list goes on and on.

Well that’s enough to give you an idea what you missed if you did not come along. Theres always next year, remember Easter Sunday is the date and the venue will probably remain as the Victory Hall at Roche, St Austell,Cornwall.
