We are a club for owners and enthusiasts of fibre glass VW based dune/beach buggies.
Based in the Surrey/London area in the United Kingdom, we aim to help others have
as much fun as possible with their buggy.
We attend some of the VW shows in Southern England and have regular monthly meetings
(click on the 'Club Information' button for more information).

Who Are We???
Ok, so you're all wondering who we are? I'm sure many of our members already knows who runs the club, but no doubt there is a few of you who we don't see as much want to know who we are.
First up we have Hunter, he is the chairman of the club and he has a moustache....so thats all you need to know there!
Next is Sam, he is the membership secretary of the club and he oversees everything to do with membership etc.....Also never talk to him about roofs! ....Ooo Sore subject Sam?.
Their is also Gary, he is the clubs treasurer and doesnt drive his buggy much... mainly his short wheel base Volvo estate
Then we have Peter, he is our tech guru and know loads of stuff about everything. Peter is a true hardcore buggy nut who drives his buggy Stella practically all year round.
Then their is Mark AKA Fester, he looks after our newsletter and spends loads of money on his buggy but always claims its broken so nobody ever see's it.
Finally we also have much assistance from Neil who puts our newsletters together. he is the only one who does the job properly!
But most importantly we are all Buggy owners and we try to run this club as best we can for the benefit of other buggy owners, if you have any ideas how we could improve the club please let us know, your ideas are always helpful. we run this club purely out of our love for Buggies, we dont earn a penny for anything we do, so please give us a break at times.
