Junior petrolheads get taste of VW Action

Something a little bit different for this weekend…

VW action organisers have been in touch. Here’s what they have to say…

“VW Action is very much a family show. We’ve got kids. We know what it’s like. So just for you we have FREE activities for children in VW Action’s ‘Children’s VWorld’. This is NOT a creche – YOU are responsible for your children but  we have laid on a colouring competition . . . a video show . . . and some other stuff!! As an extra treat, for all the kids who loved the Summer Party, we have a small beach too. (OK, it’s a sandpit.) A Facepainter will be on hand to provide FREE facepainting for all children, and everyone painted on Sunday will be eligible to enter the ‘Favourite Face’ competition, judged in the main marquee during prizegiving at 3.00pm on Saturday.

“Just find the Children’s VWorld area (near the Information Centre, check programme map for details) and set them to play. Please check programme for times of Facepainter etc. and don’t forget to check out The Poi Circus. Oh . . . and perhaps the younger visitors are the most likely to be ‘confused’ by the appearance of Santa in September, but he will be coming to hand out the prizes in the ‘Favourite Face’ competition on Saturday. (Only if they are all extremely well behaved, of course.)”

POI CIRCUS WORKSHOP
“Three shows on Saturday, two shows on Sunday – Poi Circus. At other periods during the day, circus skills training is available for anyone who wants to learn. You’d be a clown not to join in. Courtesy of VW Action, The Poi Circus Workshop will be on site for two full days Poi Circus skills training for everyone . . . have a go! Workshops are for complete beginners, so you won’t be embarrassed. It’s all part of the fun.”

FUN FAIR
“The Fun Fair is NOT free. Prices for different rides vary. Fun for kids of ALL ages.”

KIDS SHOW & SHINE
“In 2008 we introduced two new elements for children attending the show, the Kids Show & Shine, and the Bike Show & Shine. (Strictly speaking, the bike event is not restricted to just children, but there are separate awards for under 17s) FREE to enter.”

SOME KINDS WORDS A PARENT WROTE ABOUT LAST YEAR’S SHOW
“Thank you. As a mum of four it was great to have ‘free’ stuff for the kids to do, it made a huge difference actually being able to say ‘yes you can have your face painted’ and ‘yes you can go on the bouncy castle’ . The whole event was superb”
