This year the Gold Coast Dub Club celebrated our 21^st Annual Show and Swap on the 13th July.

We are very grateful to the South Coast Restoration Society for their continued support and collaboration in bringing you this great event.

A 21^st celebration is an extraordinary milestone and, in many cultures, a rite of passage. What started as a humble gathering, has now grown into a showcase of Volkswagen culture, dream restorations and trades that shape the way we care for and drive these timeless classics. A celebration of every mile driven, peace signs out the window, shows, garage friendships and restoration stories.

We are proud to be a part of such a thriving and passionate community. If the last 21 years have shown us anything, it’s that when you put a bunch of great people and their Volkswagens together, the road ahead is always worth driving (even if there is the odd pothole).

A lot of hard graft goes into delivering a show and we would like to acknowledge the efforts of GCDC Show Committee and volunteers for pulling this all together, with special thanks to Chris Ball for his efforts in design. We would also like to express our gratitude to the many generous show sponsors (you can see them listed below).

A huge congratulations to everyone that took home a trophy - there were so many deserving candidates!
