Just wanted to post a big thank you to all those involved in organising the Gaydon Weekend.
We had great time over the two days and evenings, met some genuinely nice people, enjoyed good weather and a good venue.
Thanks to all for making Kim's birthday a day to remember even if she did go onto win the raffle!!!!

Thanks again and looking forward to the next one....

Just a big THANKYOU to the Chairman and all the members who worked to put on a great weekend at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon.

As a new member (joined 1st September!) both my son, Ben, and I were made to feel very welcome by all whom we met (which included Clive who used to own my car!) and we enjoyed every minute of the event - especially having the opportunity to enjoy a few laps around the Jaguar/Land Rover 'Emissions' test track - pity we were restricted to just 70mph :wink:

Was great driving home and enjoying fellow enthusiasts waving as they passed!

Well done all - look forward to seeing you all again in the future.

Abel and Ben Cambra

Thanks Martin. Now sitting at home absolutely knackered! I was on the Mic all day, great day, lots of Porsches around 700 but we lost count! Weather smiled although it got iffy once or twice. Thanks from Sean & I to all who came & made it what it was. Around £780 or so raised for Marie Curie Cancer charity, still awaiting final numbers, from F1 Simulator. Thanks to OPC Solihull, Porscheshop & Meguiars for the raffle prizes. The traders had a good day, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

A big thank you from me to Jim for organising the Show. A big enough task without having my hawkish interventions from the sidelines. :thumbup: Paul and Christopher Greer helped us set up on Saturday and were on site again early Sunday morning having just a few hours sleep from attending the BBQ.

Lindsay and the volunteers did a great job. The rows of Porsches were neat and tidy and we banked £2500 cash, plus credit cards from sales in the Club Office.

Tony Blow also deserves a mention, not only does he edit All Torque. He designed the Show adverts, updated the membership forms and the flyers we handed out on the day.

Finally thanks to all those that turned up over the weekend and made all the hard work worthwhile. :)

The first set of photo's from the day capture the atmosphere. Please post your photo's of The Show, Cream Tea Run and the BBQ. We will be able pick the ones we would like to feature in the next issue of the magazine.

As one of a group of 924OC members invited to the event can I add my thanks to the organisers of the Show on the Sunday. A class event as always and blessed with decent weather. My 924 Martini made it's longest journey so far to attend the event after about 16 years layup without problems, which was an additional bonus!

Another G R E A T day out, seeing so many well looked after Porsches (brings a tear to your eye :D )
Thanks to all the organisers, even got to see my old S2 Cab I sold in 2006 with it's new owner.
At a previous show I managed a Pair of Guards Red Turbos this year I got a Trio of GR 944's :) looking for 4 next year :lol:
(Must be the fastest colour, they were all there early on the front row :wink: and in Alpha Reg Order to boot!)
