Umm, for those of us who are ignorant and not VOC members ... what's the BKV...?

Hi Stephen the BKV stands for best kept volvo.Although some of us have been quitely compaigning to change it to just bring your volvo.Basically only volvo owners club members are allowed to park thier cars for show.If you turn up and not a member you will have to park in the carpark and walk over to see us.

I did this at first but decided to pay the yearly sum of £29 just so I could be a real part of the group.My cars never really fitted any categorie as thier are several categories for showing.Things have improved however.And now all members cars are parked on the field but thier are two rows,One row who wish to show them and another that don't.I just put"Do not judge"in the front windscreen.

I'm hoping as this is a one off for the anniversary the powers that be might allow non members to park with us as we need as many as possible to attend.
We will have to see what is allowed.Who knows after meeting all of us very nice people with mountains of knowledge you might just pay the membership cost?After all the owners club does pay for the running of this forum so the money won't exactly be wasted.You can get discounts on parts as well from volvo.Also discount with your insurance depending who you go with.

Also as a member you could turn up on the friday and bring your caravan if you have one,And a meal on saturday ready for the main show on sunday.BKV.

Any questions then just contact me or Prufrock and I'm sure we can fill you in.
Regards Brian.
