In the beginning . . .
Two University students, Jim and Rich started the show way back in 1999 as a University project in Bournemouth. It was so successful they carried it on for the next couple of years whilst they completed their University course.
In 2002 the show was moved to Southsea Common, having outgrown the original Bournemouth site.
BeachBuggin' continued to grow each year and in 2007 PKW organised the visitors camping. The show did not run in 2008 and was put on hold.
In step a group of enthusiastic people from PKW in 2009 who persuaded Jim and Rich to entrust their baby to them, and the rest is history! The BeachBuggin’ legend is back up and running in Southsea again!
Show ethos . . .
The show has key values and principles which underpin the running of the show
1. The show is run on a 'Not4Profit' basis
2. A minimum of 3/4 of the profits is donated to a named charity. The remaining profits are reinvested into the funds for next year's show
3. All organising and operations of the show is managed on a voluntary basis
Summary of BeachBuggin' 10
What a fantastic success the 2010 show was, we had over 800 vehicles through the gate and a fantasic walk on attendance.
