The Isle of Wight's first ever Volkswagen Enthusiasts' event, V-Dub Island, today announced that the event would be returning in 2012, and will open its gates on Thursday 2nd August and run all weekend until Monday 6th August.
Organisers are looking to make the most of an extremely successful and well-received first year, and to establish the event as a permanent fixture on the Volkswagen events calendar.
A spokesman for V-Dub Island said, "After the success of the event this summer I don't think there was ever any doubt we'd be coming back to do another one next year. The after-show response we had was overwhelming, and we're looking to build on the success of this year's event."
Plans are afoot to develop the more successful elements of the event, which saw hundreds of Volkswagens in attendance at the trouble-free family-friendly show. "We were thrilled with the numbers who attended last year, with all types of Volkswagen well represented. We'd really like to reiterate that this is an event all about the vehicles and the people who love them, and all types of VW are very welcome."
Tickets for the 2012 event go on sale online from 9am on December 1st this year, and organisers are expecting a great response. "Getting on sale this early gives people more time to plan out their summer, and we're going to be keeping the price the same as 2011 at just £25 for the whole weekend, with day tickets also available."
"V-Dub Island 2012 is going to be another cracking event, with a whole load of petrolheads' fantasies and all things VW. One of our music headliners is booked already, and there's plenty more great entertainment to come. It's a great value family weekend, so we look forward to seeing everyone there in 2012!"
