I'm looking to put together a proposal committee for having the 09 Fest in Colorado , Denver area front range & mountains . A group willing to meet , elect officials and sign a responsible statement for putting together and making a proposal to the TDIclub . For me to go forward with this I need a committed core group willing to be responsible for put this together .



Any willing to sign up ???????

David; I have talked to Mark(Owner of Wolfsburg VW repair in Boulder), he has mentioned that he could "possibly" help out...

Boulder would be a good place(imho) 'cause it is a kool place...

Anuthee has a shop in West Denver/Westminster area, hmmm, ideas?

I was thinking a restaurant somewhere in the metro area so we all could site down meet , eat a meal and talk about ideas . We don't have a lot of time on this so if we are going to do this it needs to be in the next week or so .

There are lot of resources in the state that I'm sure would be willing to sign on for this venture $$ . Casinos I know from my own experience with the local dart leagues are more than willing to sponsor a gathering like this . But we must meet to form a committee to delegate who goes after what to do this . Then we need to put the boots on the ground so to speak before we make a proposal to the TDIclub .

I'm in...and all of kerma.

We are title sponsors of dubs along the rockies dubsalongtherockies.com

This is a 1 day event on Sunday the week before Labor Day, planned for Colorado Springs Raceway I thought that a track day with driving instructors, or a trip to the Bandimere drag strip.

If the week before Labor day would work for members, I wondered if the two events might overlap and share some activities on Sunday. Then more VW fans could see what the TDI's bring to the mix

I think that we have to have a proposal in before October 24, 2008.

If people are really interested we should see if we can all get together on this and submit a proposal.

For the FEST to evolve and actually have it happen here in the "rockies", the persons interested NEED to come out NOW so we can all get togethere nad discuss the viability of having the FEST in our mountians...

The FEST here in COLORADO would be GREAT,
we all now that, we need to get it together NOW!


There is need for at least six(6) persons and better if is closer to ten(10).

Sign up...

use me?

I'm in the Pueblo West part of the state . . . . . and I'd love to help out somehow, not entirely sure how as I'm not all into committees and such, but I'd be a willing pair of hands and could probably make it up to the brainstorming session.

Next Year

So I read that DC it is. I know that a meeting never happened but its not to early for 2010. Even if TDI fest is not here, how about a GTG????? I know there is the Dubs along the Rockies, but I really would like to talk other TDI owners and see their cars, and not VWs in general.

In the end of April I might be able to have a small GTG at my place. I can fit 7 to 15 cars in my driveway, depending on if my folks RV is there or not. I live off of Deer Creek Canyon in Littleton. Its a great drive, saw 12 Doge Vipers cruising it on the way to work last summer.

There are several strong VW clubs on the front range , Colorado Springs has the 719club with a meeting every Saturday night and there is The Dubs Along the Rockies that has regular cruises . There is one up north but the name alludes me , went to one of their events about 5 years back . There is a huge VW show every September at the ACC campus on Santa Fee , can't recall who sponsors it . There was a swap meet/GTG at a shop in north Denver , Arvada last springs .

I'm all for a VW diesel GTG but have never had much luck getting one off the ground .

I'm all for it , a few diesel GTGs to meet all of us out here . That might be the best way to get the support required to put together a proposal to get the fest . I can think of 3 or 4 of us right off the top of my head that we could more than likely get to come to a GTG . I've been part of a couple of BD clubs in the last few years in the area so I know we have more than a few of us out here .

PM me and we will talk ........

I would be interested in this. I'm not sure what I can help out with, but I would show up. In the Vail area I can probably work on getting a good rate on rooms, but I am sure we could negotiate that anywhere.

CRRobert,

Welcome and congrats. What type of TDI are you getting?

I can still have one at my place in April, maybe sooner, the yard is to icy/muddy right now. We could always go to a Hamburger Stand or Sonic somewhere. I don't get many weekends off (retail life for me), so a 3 week notice is best for me.

Mike
