Greg and others,

They are at least two others Westfalia club here in Quebec. One is "Les
Mononcs en Folies" (Vanagon type older than 1980) They have about 300
members which are younger and less organised than the other big club. They
have between 50-70 westy at their bi-annual meeting.

The other one is "Les west d'lautre bord de la gate" (BUS from 68-79) Their
members are even younger and less organised then "Les Mononcs" They hold
three or four meeting each year,

The members of the Club to which Greg was referring too are generally older
and retired (or almost). They have a website (sort of) but no forum. They
hold two meeting each year.

Dont' even try to translate their names is plain english.

Here's the link to their website and forum..
