I've decided to overnight at work in Portsmouth with my son. Anyone travelling from Pompey / Fareham / Gosport area in the morning. Also, what's the earliest we can get in?

Look forward to meeting some fellow car geeks there!

Edit: Just noticed it's 09:30!

Looking forward to this. For those travelling on the day, a group of us will be at the following locations

M3 Fleet Services (South/West Bound) depart 08:45
M27 Rownhams Services (West Bound) depart 09:30

Consider this an open invitation to join us for the drive to Beaulieu.


I'll try to get to Rownham too! Hopefully there'll be a large enough group for it to be obvious ... :)

Dudley and Titch will be pleased to see you - although they may be less keen to share treats!

I've had the car 6 years now and people still call it 'Criag's old 993' !

Tremendous weekend as always, highlight of which getting nominated into the visitor's choice cars!

Here's a picture to show how relaxed the show is, we were up on the bank on the picnic blanket having a beer and wine whist looking down on the cars and Maggie our Spaniel!

Brilliant day, thanks to Steve & Sean for organising & all the assistants, Meguiars for the prizes. The weather gods smiled on us again, my red face should fade to pink by the end of the week :oops:
Beaulieu is a great venue, those that missed today missed a great even 600+ Porsches in one place, yesterdays visit to Haynes was good with a great drive back thanks to Sean's road book.
Friday night for SELNK was in a Greek restaurant which was brilliant, George's Tip Top desert was fantastic & will be remembered.

Agree with everything that's been said, well done Sean & Steve, last years event was good, this years was even better.

Good to meet up with some good friends from other regions as well as the strong contingent from SELNK and also good to meet new people.

To top it off, 3rd place in the show and shine, unexpected given the competition but RESULT :D :P

Was indeed a great weekend end again

Can't believe I caught Martin cleaning his car, although I didn't actually see it with my own eyes, but well done Martin

Brilliant day - thanks Sean, Steve and everyone involved in making this happen. Perfect venue, weather, vibe. I know it's a long way for some (just chance to stretch 928's legs for me from Central), but I would happily travel every year for a show as enjoyable as this.

From our side, all the hard work is worth it when see an endless stream of Porsche's drive through the gates. People rocked up from all over the country to be part of something that is only special because they made the effort to turn up

Steve we couldn't do this without your support and for everyone that helped man the gazebo, hand out magazines, set up and take down. Thank you :notworthy:

A few words about the show and shine. I have been judging the S&S for 8 years and today was by far the closest contest. All the cars were amazing, well done to Arthur, Rob, Martin and all the entrants for making judging really difficult.

It is hard to credit that this is the same event we attended two years ago. That was the first “Simply Porsche” run by Beaulieu as part of their “Simply” series of marque-specific events. There were perhaps 100 cars scattered around the grounds, it was pleasant. Sean had a moment of inspiration and a quiet word in Beaulieu’s ear, “let us help you out with this”, and now look at it; one of the biggest Porsche gatherings in the country with the Beaulieu grounds full of more than 600 Porsches.

The attendance was all the more remarkable once you consider the “competition” the event had on Sunday, Wilton Supercar Show, Bromley Pageant, Goodwood breakfast club, etc.

This event is now a triumph for both the club and Beaulieu. It is, without doubt, the most family friendly of the Porsche events with something for everyone. Long may it continue. Thanks to everyone involved in organising it. What is the date for next year?
