Is this a child friendly thing thing or do we have to palm the kids off?

We would really like to come on this outing so would have to work things out.

Cheers Rob

Children are always welcome Rob.

Maris

[rob64981]

Children are always welcome Rob.

Maris

You might not say then once you have met mine!!

Seriously I meant in my first post about the restaurant being child friendly?

Rob and the family....

[WEDEL.1]

A Mexican, at lunch time? I haven't seen one that excludes children. Isn't that descrimination?

I just checked the flier, no mention of children, not even on the menue ;-)

Maris

[WEDEL.1]

Mmmmm, no children's menue, no split bills......

Maris

[WEDEL.1]

It's on next Sunday......if you are intending to go, please let Ben or I (0427 800 431) know. About 40 people attending.

Ben tells me that individual bills are allowed.

I assume this is for the REAL beetle only, Maris (not the dressed up Golf)

Hahahahaha, no Greg, this is for all Volkswagens to celebrate not only the original Beetle, but also Volkswagen.

Dressed up Golfs (Golves) and real Golves, Transporters and Polos welcome :-)

[phaeton]

We have quite alot of interest this year :banana:
We will have the whole spectrum of VW so it will look great in McLaren Vale come next Sunday :D
I expect to see Beetles (obviously), Kombis, Karmann Ghias, Type 3s, Passats, Golfs Mk5 & 6, Jetta & Transporters


Edit booked for 50 now may go up to 60 am talking to some clients of mine this week to see if they have their new Polo GTI :D

[sa-r32]

Some nice photos there - VWs taking over the streets! Some familiar cars and a few swish looking new ones - that new Passat looks pretty smart.
