Tax disc holders and car stickers with the club logo have been handed out at the last two club meetings and I have sent via post to those members who are unable to travel to the monthly meets to whom requested them. If you wish your Tax and stickers please forward an email to myself confirming you wish them to be sent via post and I will email you back with address details etc.

A reminder to all members that the Scottish region will have a text reminder service to which details of up and coming events will be text to those members that have emailed me to confirm they wish to be part of this service. This will be a couple of texts a month nothing more than that to remind you that a region event is within the next week or so and is just a reminder. Many have emailed me wanting to be part of this service and those have been added to the text database already. We have the group email list and the national website to keep everyone informed to what the region is up to so just another form of keeping everyone up to date. If you wish to be part of the text service then please email myself with your details.

I have circulated details of a 1972 911 T which is situated in South Queensferry, it has been garaged since 1999 and the owner has sadly passed away in recent times and therefore a friend will be selling the car to which full details will be to follow regarding the car. Also I have circulated details of a 924 Turbo in the Scottish borders that has also been sitting for sometime garaged up and is for sale also. So anyone contemplating a project will soon have the opportunity to do so. I have circulated via a group email and place both cars on the national website for everyone to have a look at.
