Had a look at the photos via the link excellent photos as usual.Both my cars make appearances-the 960 twice and the V70 once.We as a family group even make a "guest" appearance in one of the photos of the prize giving,although the photo of us at a table is from behind[people often tell me that's my best side]

I thought the 'freebie' was a nice touch; we bought a second to give us one each, and Linda also bagged a nice sweatshirt in red (possibly the one photographed) for a tenner! We didn't win anything in the raffle, though!! All in all, a good day out! Regards, John.

In my long experience of the club, I have never had cause to feel that way. On the contrary, I have always found the VOC to be one of the most welcoming and friendly car clubs around. Certainly, my own experience on Sunday has given me no reason to change that view. Especially n the light of the past year or so, I think the organisers are to be commended for what they achieved at Uttoxeter on Sunday, and it is regrettable that you may not have found it as enjoyable as - from the posts above - the majority of those attending obviously have. Regards, John.

My first BKV and felt welcomed by everyone I spoke to. It was a good day out, seemed very well organised and at capacity for the venue. The free gift was a nice touch indeed. I think I had four maybe five strangers around my car at one point helping out with my wiper incident; thanks to everyone who found the materials and helped fit the foam bodge that got me through intermittent rain to Halfords in Stafford late on a Sunday ahead of a very wet journey down south.
Besides the BKV, I have to say the VOC membership is such good value that being a member is really a "no-brainer." Just from the Halfords and Opie Oils discounts alone, my membership is paying for itself. I'm soon planning a mega-purchase at Halfords to get a trolley jack, toolbox, axle stands etc. so I can start working on the car myself - that's going to run in the hundreds and the VOC card is going to pay for itself on that transaction alone. Now with Shell and Pirelli discounts too - I don't have a convenient Shell locally (normally on BP) but did get to use my VOC Shell fuel card on the way to the Volvo600. It's all worth having and the club staff must be doing a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes to create and maintain these relations, so thanks all. Then there's Driver, it's obvious the work that's going into that. In my opinion the new cover design and interior layout is a welcome improvement that's lifted the magazine even further. Many thanks to all involved for such a strong overall offering.

I honestly couldn't agree more. I didn't see a gloomy face at Uttoxeter as everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves so much. I had lovely conversations with folk I've never met before & shared a few laughs with the caterers that were brilliant. I even had a nice chat to the lady on Grounds Duty/Litter Patrol who were praising everyone and their lovely Volvos. All the VOC Officials were brilliant...very friendly & approachable and there to ensure we had a great day. Occasionally things don't go to plan, some times we might catch an Official or fellow Member having a busy moment and we don't get their full attention - this may come across as them being rude maybe BUT I can guarantee this won't be the case, more a bit of bad timing or perhaps a little confusion/mis-understanding if a non-Volvo attends. The Marshalls are all volunteers and are there to ensure you have a brilliant event. From a Cheeky Northerner with a twisted sense of humour and a fetish for Twix....the Uttoxeter BKV was excellent. |

I too have been a member for some years and find everyone very helpful but sometimes an attitude can be taken the wrong way as in this case..........maybe! That said, "bigfoots" opportunity to reply to a member who is both supportive and sympathetic has wained somewhat in recent hours, l wish him well. |
