The Volkswagen Beetle Owners Club will hold the 20th Annual ‘Pride of Ownership’ drive on Sunday, March 31.
This is a landmark event of the club as the Pride of Ownership Drive has carried on unbroken for the past 20 years and this year’s drive will coincide with the celebration of 100 years of the Hilton Hotel Chain which has been the traditional Start of the Pride of Ownership Drive and the Club has assured over 100VW’s will attend this year’s drive breaking a record attendance at all events organised by the Club.
The Club has also invited members from the Kandy Club who will make an epic journey from the Hill Capital to attend the event.
The Pride of Ownership Drive is the most important annual event organised by the Volkswagen Beetle Owners Club which is held each year in March and is attended by members and their guests who are assured of a fun-filled day of activities and each year the committee ensures to improve on the activities of the day as the policy shared among the committee is that a happy member will ensure to maintain a happy ‘Beetle’.
The Drive will commence from the Hilton Colombo which has been the traditional Start of this annual event and will sport a flag depicting the 100 years of the Hilton on each VW which would resume the celebration in grand style.
The drive would proceed in parade form from the Hilton Colombo along the Galle Road and proceed southwards with a friendly rally that would kick-off from Moratuwa and end at the finish, being the luxurious Hotel Haridara which belongs to the Oak Ray Hotel Chain in Wadduwa.The hotel has put together a fabulous array and will ensure a day of entertainment under the palms which is to be followed by a fellowship buffet lunch and the awards ceremony.
The Club is grateful to the main sponsor of the event, the LOLC Group who will support the activities of the Club. As in all previous events the Beetles generate a sense of “Fun in the Sun” and a beach location has been the firm favourite and we are rest assured that all members and their guests would enjoy the day’s activities at the Resort with the grand Indian ocean as its backdrop that would add colour to the day’s activities.
