Zach books summer vacation on Sunday.
THE NEXT DAY
Scout Camp schedule released: Nice vacation there bud
THE NEXT DAY
2021 NE Gathering Released: Shame if someone were to walk in and break it.
So.... Okay. Triple booked for a weekend between Virginia, PA, and NY that was wide open 4 days prior. I guess I need to see if I can rebook vacation. And find out if the kid wants to go to scout camp.

Len,
Great video! I'm looking forward to this event, as I was reluctant to attend last year due to Covid concerns.
We are having a preliminary meeting regarding the up and coming VW show season sponsored by the Central Jersey Volkswagen Society. I know you have attended the All Air Cooled Gathering in the past. And, for those that don't know Len has won the 914 class several times. The date will be September 18th and 19th, 2021. Of course this all depends on the prevailing health protocols.
Hope you and yours are well. Stay safe my friend. And thanks for putting together a great East Coast 914 event!

Hey Dave,
I thought that AACG was changing a good bit due to some sticky fingers. I was talking with some Jersey VW guys this past fall who said that event was going to be invite only or something like that. Its on my list of shows to be able to make. Is the format changing at all?
Since it is starting to look like I can't make the NE Gathering this year unless Covid cancels scouts again, I'm hoping to be able to get to Flanders.
@dcheek Thanks!

great video! who knew you had such talent....you and Ian should co-produce the next promo?!
…and Zach has been promising coming to Flanders for the past 10 year.....
we should have been piggy backing that event from the beginning.
NOW, it's so dam attended, spectators can't even get in; or they're parking in the lot on the other side of the woods

I've been wanting to go to AACG for a long ass time. Probably over 10years. First there were conflicts with the East Coast Cookout. I know I had suggested having the ECC at the AACG for a couple of years. Then I decided to "fix" my car and it was off the road for 5 years... Toss in the whole single parent lifestyle. Still the event is on my bucket list, and eventually I will get there.

Regarding the All Air Cooled Gathering.....
The 2020 event was CJVWS members only due to the Covid restrictions. We didn't want to totally cancel the event since the German Sports and Swim Club needs the revenue to help maintain their facility. It really had nothing to do with the fact that there was someone stealing parts off show cars overnight. We are hiring security people to take care of that in the future. For the record CJVWS made no money on the 2020 AACG. All the proceeds went to the German Sports and Swim Club.
We are having a Zoom meeting Monday February 15th to start planning for 2021. We want to get back to "normal" , whatever that will be by the time September rolls around.
Once we have more information I will start a separate post dedicated to the AACG so as not to hijack this thread.
