| About "the Bug Club" - |
 |
| The clubs origins date back to the very successful Autofest car shows held in Lawrence, MA and sponsored by the local Exchange Club of Lawrence. The 2-day event included an all VW show on Sunday of the each Labor Day weekend. Word spread, the show grew and the buggy crowd became a real presence. Sometime during the 7th annual Autofest Sept. 6th, 1992 a gentleman by the name of Nick Koulichkov walked around, wrote down names and started the Bug Club. The club started with a half dozen friends, all with fiberglass bodied bugs, simply called Dune Buggy's. The great Autofest Shows of Lawrence ended, but the Bug Club lives on, today with over 50 active members. Today, as when it first started, most club activities center on an outdoor function and include monthly club meetings, a monthly newsletter, cruise nites, cook outs and attending car show events as well as organizing our own annual car show. If your interested, take a look at our monthly newsletter. Monthly meetings, normally held on the first Tuesday @ 7pm at Stacheys Pizza Shop located on Route 28 in Salem, NH is a chance to meet everyone and plan for upcoming events. Anyone interested in joining the Bug Club may either contact an officer linked below via e-mail or send a check for $15.00 to The Bug Club - PO Box 144 - Salem, NH 03073. Please include the usual information, name, address, phone number and an e-mail address if possible. That will get you on the mailing list for the club newsletter keeping you informed on all club activities. If you'd like, come visit us at one of our meetings or events. Membership is open to anyone who simply appreciates VW's and only requires a $15.00 fee to cover the cost of the newsletter. Good times, new friends and laughs are included for free.

| Our group is simply a bunch of people who enjoy automobiles, VW's in particular, but especially those fiberglass bodied creations of the 60's and 70's. Without a doubt, we all can thank Bruce Meyers for creating the ultimate fun car, the Dune Buggy. Please Note - the club is open to any type of VW, or VW enthusiast. |
| Lawrence, MA Sept. 6th, 1992 The unofficial start of the Bug Club. During this time and shortly afterwards with so many Dune Buggy's showing up,trophies were handed out down to fifth place! Not all of the buggy's are visible, but still an impressive sight. |
