A Salford based VW owners club have beaten every other North West VW club to be crowned the best at this year’s Tatton Park VW Show.
The Monton and Worsley VW club won ‘Best Club’ at the show which saw hundreds of old and new vehicles attend the show in hope of winning the trophy prize.
The Tatton Park VW show, which took place on Sunday August 7, hosted a Wild West theme.
Surrounded by bales of hay and dressed up in costumes of cowboys and Indians, the Monton and Worsley VW club made sure they were the ones to come out on top.
Tony Shepherd, a member of the club, said: “We went all out. We got all dressed up and my partner, Tracy Bermingham, and club organiser, Donna Lang, brought the props with them, so we would definitely win the competition.”
The club brought along nine vehicles to the event ranging from a camper van made in 1951 to a modern day T5.
The winners received a trophy and a large crate of beer at the 28th year of the show.
The following day, the club took five buses into Monton and celebrated their win.
Tony, 50, from Monton, added: “Everyone knows each other, there’s at least 40 people on the Facebook group, and we plan get together’s and end up talking about everything to do with the vehicles, we probably sound quite geeky.”
Tatton Park holds the number one Northwest Volkswagon Show, and is based in Knutsford. The show includes lots of activities from trade stands to competitions.
