The Volkswagen Beetle Owners Club held the 21st Annual General Meeting on Saturday the 25th of November 2017 at the Marco Polo Convention Hall situated at Darley Road, Colombo.

The proceedings of the meeting began with the president of the club calling the meeting to order which was followed by a few moments of silence with the passing away of two eminent members, namely S.I. Kulatunge, Founder member of the Club and Nihal Perera who was an ardent supporter towards the activities of the Club.

During the meeting, members had the opportunity to express their concerns and a collective note was made that the committee required a higher level of technical assistance as most Beetles suffer at the hands of inexperienced mechanics who do more damage rather than repair the Beetles. As a result of this, the club took a joint decision to obtain the facilities of training potential apprentices under the guidance of professionals who are currently members of the club having gained years of technical experience with VW who readily came forward to support the cause.
