EVERYDAY VEHICLE SHOW 'N' SHINE - Saturday
Morning ASSEMBLY - 2.45pm FOR TROPHY PRESENTATION

This will be the sixth year of the Everyday Vehicle Show and Shine. The number of entrants has boomed since this competition replaced the Pride and Joy Concours in 1998.

The number and quality of entrants has increased to the point that we had to increase the number of trophies to 20, offering 10 for WATER-COOLED vehicles and 10 for AIR-COOLED. These trophies are not divided into classes, and the criteria is pretty much the 20 cars the judges would most like to own . . .

Our judges have all built 'trophy traps', but recognise the different considerations involved in 'daily drivers'. If your vehicle is your everyday transport then it's not expected to be flawless, so don't be shy.

Entry in this event is a MUST if you are proud of your VW.

CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE - Sunday
SPONSORED BY VOLKSWORLD MAGAZINE
ALL WATER-COOLED CLASSES SPONSORED BY THE GOLF MAGAZINE

There are some important changes to the Concours and Custom Concours arrangements at VW Action on Sunday 5th September. The 'Every Day Vehicle' event will run as previously on Saturday 4th. Many shows over the years have used a variety of methods, to judge a bewildering number of classes and sub classes. Action itself has always catered for the 'Daily Driver' as well as the out and out show car, with almost 50 classes for show cars as well as the 20 EDV trophies on the Saturday. In our view, one of the effects of this has been a variation in the standard of trophy winners. A 'good' car in a low entry class may be awarded a winner or runner-up trophy, whereas an 'extremely good' car in a highly subscribed class may not. This has been an issue (amongst many issues) for some time.

Last year we trialled a new system this year which delivered a 'best of all worlds' solution. The concours display area will be divided into four sections:
Standard Air Cooled
Standard Water Cooled
Modified Air Cooled
Modified Water Cooled

Your car will fit one and only one of these descriptions. (Modification relates to the original vehicle, therefore an originally air cooled car fitted with a water cooled engine is a Modified Air Cooled) That is both the area of the concours arena in which you will display, and the cars against which you will be judged. Using this format, four or five very similar cars, with hundreds of hours work, that might have been trimmed to just one trophy winner, could all be in contention for a top ten placing.

There are specific instructions issued to judges. These instructions/guidelines are available to anyone who wishes to see them, but basically deal with levelling the playing field in respect of older or rarer vehicles. (Levelling, not favouring, just giving due consideration to all factors.) The Judges for each of the four categories will be selecting ten vehicles. These forty vehicles will be considered by all judges, firstly to establish a 'Best of Show' for each of the four categories. From these vehicles, the judges will select a 'Champion of Champions'.
Please be assured that this format has been arrived at over many hours' deliberation, by judges who's only concern is to see that the most 'worthy' vehicles are rewarded with a trophy. We aim to have notified the forty cars going forward to the final judging stage by 2.15pm. As soon as these vehicles are known, they will be notified by way of a window sticker. We hope this will also help anyone under time pressure who may wish to leave once the initial judging is completed.

What really makes these competitions is the number and variety of entries. We would like to see more, not less vehicles entering the event this year. You may not win a trophy, but you will have taken part in what we hope is the best ever VW Action.

No doubt this format will draw some criticism, as all previous systems have. But please be assured that it has been arrived at over many hours' deliberation, by judges who's only concern is to see that the most worthy vehicles are rewarded with a trophy. We aim to have notified the forty cars going forward to the final judging stage by 2.15pm. As soon as these vehicles are known, they will be notified by way of a window sticker.
