A-Plan Thatcham Schemes

Congratulations to the South Coast Transporters team for a very relaxed and chilled out show at the beautiful Burley in the New Forest.
Campers, Customs and Hot Rods, took me back to my first ever Volkswagen show which was held at Beaulieu.
The show had a genuine enthusiast feel to it, with a hand full of traders, caterers but more importantly some amazing looking vans, campers, customs and classics.
... The entertainment was fantastic with a Rockabilly theme and kept us all entertained throughout the day.
Thanks again for having us as a main sponsor for the show.

A-Plan are very proud and excited to be supporting West'est Fest in Pembrokeshire for the 3rd year running.
For me personally I love the smaller shows and West'est Fest always delivers a fun weekend.
First year I enjoyed the fantastic Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers tribute band with the guys from Run the Ring, and last year the Rock of Ages Tribute band were the best I saw all year :). ( their cover of Def Leppards "Pour some sugar on me" was awesome )
... If you have not been before and want a mix of a chilled out family weekend, a handful of traders and great music then I can highly recommended this show.

So the difference between a corporate company and specialist company.
A corporate company would happily give a cheque to a company like Run the Ring for Sponsorship.
A specialist enthusiast company would also turn up on the day, and Run The Ring dressed as Kenny Rogers. Not only that but they would proudly attend the handing over of the cheque to the charity and join in the fun with fellow campers :)
... This year A-Plan Thatcham Schemes are proudly sponsoring 17 amazing VW shows and events.
The money we sponsor goes towards paying for the bands, entertainment and fun.
Enjoy your adventures :)
