Glenn, we spoke about this there yesterday, I couldn't agree more with what you say.GlennS wrote: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?

Re: Simply Porsche Show Sunday 7th June 2015
It was a pleasure to help out with my son Daniel, following our leafleting campaign we really enjoyed the show and all that Beaulieu had to offer!
Was great seeing my old 968 Sport with a few choice mods (now fully CS badged / decal'ed, new Recaros and a few other choice mods)...
Now all we need is another (ideally 4 seater) Porsche! Was certainly a good day for blatting in a Caterham regardless!

Well Sean and all you guys have said it really, I would just like to add my thanks to the community for supporting the event, the traders for adding to the atmosphere, Beaulieu for providing such a brilliant venue, their staff for their superb professionalism and of course all the TIPEC volunteers, without whom we could not run these events. Thank you all .

Re: Simply Porsche Show Sunday 7th June 2015
That was a lovely day out, thanks to everyone involved.
I haven't been to Beaulieu since a family holiday in the late 1970's, it was great to get back there.
