I'm delighted to see that the Stanford Hall meet is still going - I remember from my Beetle-fettling days that it officially marked the beginning of the summer season of VW meets, which used to conclude with VW Action at Stoneleigh on the first weekend in September.
When I say "summer", I mean "slightly less wet than the rest of the year" - VW meets were always characterised by rather inclement weather. Character-building, I suppose.
My Cal-Look Beetle made its show debut at Stanford Hall in 1986, from memory. It's a lovely setting, and was always a highlight.
I might see if I can get there this year. I'll try to drag my son along, if he's not playing cricket.
