A Northeast Ohio satellite group of the Central Ohio Vintage Volkswagen Club (COVVC) has been authorized by the membership of this Columbus-based club.  Their first driving event was held May 1st and was a huge success!

The COVVC North group also had a fun day at Cleveland Metroparks Brookstock on July 17th.

The purpose of the North Chapter is to provide a range of activities for COVVC members who live in the northeastern part of the state.  Since it isn’t always possible to drive our vintage Bugs and Kombis to Columbus for many of the activities there, we are planning a number of events in and around Northeastern Ohio.   Do you know any VW owners who might want to get involved now that some events are closer to home?  Please let us know--we look forward to hearing your ideas on how to build membership and interest in this area. 

However, since our support, both in the Zűndfolge newsletter and COVVC website, comes through the main club, all North Chapter participants should be COVVC members, which only costs $15.00 per year.

E-mail will be used for future mailings and notices in order to keep costs down, and you can always refer to our new COVVC North web page.

(Of course, all COVVC-sponsored events are open to ALL members, no matter where they are located!)
