Back to VW school, with Just Kampers 

What will the day include?
Each day will run from 9am to 4pm, so please arrive by 8:50 so that we can get started on time. You'll need to wear appropriate clothes for a workshop, which you don't mind potentially getting covered in oil/grease/dirt/etc. The workshop is heated, but warmer clothes and layers are still recommended. 

There will be breaks throughout the day, and a lunch break at midday. You'll need to bring your own lunch with you, although hot drinks and biscuits will be provided during the day. 

When will the JK Training Days be held?
At the moment there are four different events scheduled to take place, on Tuesday 9 April, Thursday 11 April, Friday 3 May, and Friday 10 May.

Each event will start at 9am and run until 4pm, with breaks during the day. Please aim to arrive at 8:45 for a 9am start.

Where will they be taking place?
Mark Reynolds will be hosting the events at his private home workshop, which is based near Farnham in Surrey. If you book a place on one of the events, we'll send you the full address details and directions on how to get there closer to the time.

There will be toilets, hot drinks, and a fridge on site, and the workshop will be heated, so it's a pretty nice space to be spending a day in! 

What will be covered in each event?
We've created these first four JK Training Days to cover some really important, easy-to-learn topics which will be useful for a wide range of people. You can see a full list of the topics above.

How many people can attend each event?
There are places available for six people to attend each event. We wanted to keep the numbers low as we get started with these JK Training Days, to make sure that everyone can see and hear everything, and they they don't feel lost in a crowd. 

Why does it cost £100 to book a place?
We're asking for a £100 booking fee to secure your place on these events so that we can keep track of who is attending which event. Just Kampers won't be keeping any of the money, and 100% of this booking fee will be donated to either Cancer Research UK, or Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care (you can choose once you've booked). 

How do I let you know which charity I want my booking fee to go to?
Once you've booked your place at one of the JK Training Days, we'll send you an email with a few questions like what you'd like to learn, what your favourite biscuits are, and which of the two charities you'd like your £100 booking fee donated to. 

What do I need to bring with me?
You'll need to dress warmly, in clothing you don't mind getting oil/grease/dirt on. We'll be providing hot drinks and biscuits throughout the day, but you'll need to bring lunch with you. The location for the JK Training Days is fairly rural, so you won't be able to walk anywhere to get food if you don't bring any, but there are shops a relatively short drive away. 

We'll provide you with a notebook and pen if you fancy taking notes, and there'll be power sockets if you need to charge phones or anything during the day. 

Who will be leading the JK Training Days?
The events will be led by Mark Burden (also known as ‘Workshop Mark’) and Mark Reynolds.

You may recognise ‘Workshop Mark’ from our YouTube channel and the how-to videos on our website. He’s been a professional mechanic for decades, and has helped work on a number of our project vehicles here at Just Kampers.

Mark Reynolds founded Just Kampers back in 1989, and has been running JK since then. Having owned and worked on more Volkswagens then he can remember, Mark has built up a huge amount of knowledge and helpful tips over the years, which he’s keen to pass on to others.
