August news

Events news

August got off to a cracking albeit damp start with Cars, Coffee & a good Breakfast at the Cotswolds Food Store and Cafe. 

We have another 7 events this month finishing with our headline Cotswold Rally on Sunday 29 August. 
 
Whilst the Rally is sold out, we expect some cancellations. Look out for comms as our region will get preference if the wait list is exhausted. 

There are just a few tickets left for both Caffeine & Machine (Tues 10th Aug) and the Broadway Car Show at the Lygon Arms (Sat 14th Aug). Please let me know by Aug 6th if you want to join us. 

We have 70 going to Caffeine & Machine and perhaps rather masochistically, I will arrange a convoy for those who want to arrive together. Details will be on Facebook and our R31 WhatsApp group. 

Our community outreach visit to Stratton Care Home in Cirencester (Tuesday 17th) will give some old folks a reason to cross something off their bucket list.  Interest so far has been modest but I still hope we can get a good team. 

The Treasure Hunt on Sat 21st Aug at Bibury Classic Motor Hub was announced last week. To recap, it's £40 pp including lunch and drinks and the organisation of the Hunt at a wonderful venue. I need at least 20 cars to make it viable. 

Still in development and proving exceptionally challenging are September’s trip to the Yorkshire Dales and October’s to France. Getting more than four rooms anywhere in a half decent hotel looks like requiring Harry Potter. I haven't given up. 

More ambitious plans are being hatched for the UK and Europe for next year. 

We have new social media accounts and an R31 Events WhatsApp Group which is quick, easy and interactive. If any of these are 'your thing', please sign up.

Going forward, I hope to improve the overall active engagement level of membership (which is relatively low) and the new member experience. 
 
16 new members have joined since May and almost the same number have left. 
 
As always, please give me your comments, ideas and feedback. 
 
We have a very broad demographic and whilst I know we can’t please all the members, all the time, for now, I’ll be happy with pleasing more of the members, more of the time. 

Let us help you unlock the potential of your Porsche
