East Dulwich seems to have a large number of VW campervan and Beatle owners and with ourselves and East Dulwich Campers being in the area it has struck me that maybe there is benefit in forming a VW owners club for East Dulwich.


The idea would be to meet periodically (say every 4 ? 6 weeks) in a local pub or other venue, share knowledge, show our vehicles off, ask questions and where possible look at getting discounts on parts and other things related to owning and driving a VW.


Open to ideas and suggestions on how to organise and run a club of this ilk, but thought it would be fun to meet and talk with other enthusiasts and to share knowledge where we can.


If you are interested then please either PM me directly or put a response on here and in a few weeks I will get back to anyone who responds with more details should people think it?s a good idea.

Sounds like you have already made that decision to keep it just based on how you described it.

Thanks PandG, an early bay very nice!


In answer to hour question this was on the general ed section before admin moved it here so not tempting fate again 😊

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but there are tons of VW vans in ED and I thought today a EDF page to share info would be great.


We have a T4 LHD VW Westfalia, called Brigit. She's a beloved part of the family although starting to need a fair amount of work.


Did this VW owners group take off?

Hi ebeb2


As Seabag so elegantly mentioned, this thread is 5 years old and didn't get enough interest at the time.


Happy to revisit the idea if others are interested but obviously with lockdown, meetups will be impossible but nothing to stop online / virtual discussions.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area
