20th of December 2013Three years ago there has been the last Fridolin - meet, meanhwile the IG has no central spare parts stock anymore . As a first consequence the membership fee is reduced by 50% starting 2014-01-01. One year VW Fridolin - IG membership is now € 18 instead of € 36 ($25 USD instead of $50 USD). Existing memberships will be extended accordingly. This is done automatically in the next few days . If someone finds it unfortunate that there are no more meetings, maybe he / she could consider to organize one . Maybe two or three people could work together? We surely would support them, as best we can . If someone finds it good that the Fridolin IG is still existing in this form, but he/she is unable to organize a meeting, we are happy to receive financial support. However we do not offer any kind of 'supporting membership', the administrative burden would be disproportionate. If you still feel attracted by this idea, please feel free to send us an amount of your choice to the IG account, with the note 'promotion' - regardless of the membership fee. We will handle these amounts separately and use it to either start-up funding for the next meeting or the next part reproduction - whichever will start sooner :) We do not abandon you on your search for spare parts. The IG has mainly smaller parts on stock . Over that, we could forward requests internally on to those of which we know that they can provide parts. Happy holidays to you all! |

30th of January 2010This year meeting will take place on 27th to 29th of August in Selm, which is located between Dortmund and Muenster. More info soon here. |
||
8th of January 2010You may have the impression that our website is uncared for since approx. two years. Thats sad, but not to change unfortunately. It is because lately, no one feels responsible for the external representation. Also, there was actually no meeting in 2009. Hopefully this year will be different - but if it really works, we do not know yet. Apart from that the member area is really vivid, the message board being the home for wild discussions. |
||
25th of April 2008Next year meeting will take place on 2th to 4th of May in Giengen east of Stuttgart. More info soon here. |
||
26th of December 2007Spare parts are available again. The stock is re-organised after being moved. Some remaining work will be done till mid-january. |
||
4th of November 2007As of 2008 we regrettably must raise the membership fee from 27 EUR up to 36 EUR. This because of we just now have to tranfer the stock to another building which ich much more expensive. Existing credit balances at your account will be accordingly converted. This means, the expiration date will change. |
