Default Virtual Car Show 2020

The Club is running two Virtual Competitions.

There is the competition on the Forum which is open to everyone registered on the Forum and the reason for the earlier closing date is that with a very high registered numbers of users there is the potential with a very high level of entries which 'could' make the task of judging difficult - hence the closing date of the 14th June 2020 to allow more time.

The competition for Volvo Owners Club Members promoted in the magazine is likely to generate a lower number of entries, hence the slightly extended deadline.

Hope this explains the reasoning behind the decision.

Unfortunately it really is a case this time of 'learning as we go along' as certainly I personally have never been through a situation like this before and (hopefully) the learnings we take from this will never be needed again - fingers crossed.

Kind regards

Chris

Default Forum Virtual Car Show 2020 RESULTS

Many thanks to everyone who submitted their pictures for the Forum Virtual Car Show 2020.

I can confirm I have just a few minutes ago had the final results in from the Judge. (Whose decision is of course final!) I know how difficult it is to judge at an actual show when there are two of you and the car is in front of you - So a massive thank you to Dennis, the Volvo Owners Club President for deciding the winners.

I have sent a PM to every Winner and Runner Up and would be grateful if you could supply me your name and address to send the award to. They were ordered last week and as soon as i receive them I will send them out.

This is a new type of event to me in extremely challenging times and as always any constructive feedback good or bad is most welcome - the overwhelming aim was to keep it straightforward and easy to enter.

Kind regards

Chris

Would like to see the winning cars - if that's possible?
Also I note no entries for the 200 series.
