I've already signed up for the Quebec Westfalia Club event and I'd really like to attend. That said, if the caravan happens around the same time I'd like to hook up with it part way through. I find it interesting that the Quebec Westfalia club wants this as a members only event, given that they are also probably hoping to break thier world record of 489 westies. You'd think it would be the more the merrier.
