How to join Splitterz
Turn up to one of the meets above and say hello :) Maybe sign up to our forum and post a picture of you and your VW too!
Click here for more information on our meets and directions >
Splitterz is an Air-Cooled Club in Chelmsford, Essex and now also in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordhire as well.
The first ever Splitterz meet was on the 15th January 2004 in something approaching a monsoon at the Army & Navy pub.
We meet up on the second Thursday of every month and chill and chat and work out some fun stuff to do in between the meetings.
We’re sticking with the concept of air-cooled and although essentially Splitterz is a VW club we don’t mind what you’ve got as long as its air-cooled so I guess that includes classic Fiat, Citroen, Porsche, Bond, Trabant, Velorex. Tatra or even an old British bike or something. Newbie owners also welcome.
... oh yeah and we don’t mind if you turn up in something that started life as air-cooled but has had some huge zillion horsepower water-cooled lump shoe-horned into it either.
We hope to see you there and welcome and ideas for fun things to do that you might have to offer.
NO COMMITTEE - just a bunch of vw nuts with a passion for it.
NO MEMBERSHIP FEES - turn up a few times and you're in

Splitterz BBQ 2009
It's that time of year again!
Yes the Splitterz BBQ is rapidly approaching, although we have been keeping it a secret!
The BBQ will be held on Sunday 2nd August 2009 from about 1pm at the Horse and Groom in Galleywood, Chelmsford (Click Here for a Location Map)
All sausages and burgers cooked on the BBQ will be £1
Drinks are available inside the pub.
There will be a show and shine and a raffle.
This is a nicely situated little gathering that the whole family will enjoy, the kids are safe to run around as cars haven't actually reached this part of galleywood yet, they still use the horse and cart!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Splitterz VW & Air-Cooled Club.

BBQ Aftermath
Well what can i say, but thank you to all those of you who gave up your Sunday to come and enjoy the BBQ, it was a great day and many people seemed to enjoy themselves.
Congratulations to all those of you who won a Trophy on the day, made by Danny of Dubz-by-Dan.
Thank you to all those of you who helped on the day, namely Gee for getting stuck in with the BBQ, without folks cooking, the BBQ would have failed!!
Thanks also to GnG for organising the raffle, it went down a storm!!
I would like to do more of a report but to be honest i didn't see all that much of everything on the day as i was running around most of the time!! however i understand that we had over 100 volkswagens parked up on the green, 33 people paid to enter the show and shine, but i reckon there were a few more as organisation for payment went out of the window at one point lol.
And lastly thank you to all of you for not dropping litter, all that was found was a couple of pint glasses in the long grass, and a bit of litter that was probably there before we arrived.
Lets see if there will be a next year!!

Splitterz BBQ
So its on Sunday!!!!!!!
Starts at 2pm till we get kicked out
Please approach the pub from The Eagle end rather than the Running Mare end as this will help ease folk into the parking area etc
Show and Shine will be £2 on the day for as many cars as we can fit in, Top 10 cars on display and a BEST OF BBQ award, unfortunately no class awards, however you will get a hand made trophy, made by our sponsor Dubz-by-Dan
Raffle - Star Prize is a Free service for a VW by our sponsor Dubz-by-Dan (www.dubz-by-dan.co.uk)
All BBQ Food - £1 per burger / veggie burger / sausage / veggie sausage
Cake - Its Free, not many things in this world are free, but there is a moneybox on the table for any donations towards the cost of the cake, and please be sensible and leave enough for everyone
Drinks are available in the pub, please only drink beverages bought from the pub, all range of drinks available, soft and not so soft
Please remember not to block the through road, this is a public highway and if we block it the police may become involved and that won't be good for you or us.
But most of all, chill out, have a few burgers and enjoy a relaxing day in the sun.
Cheers
MMX
