Notice is hereby given that the 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Gmünd Heritage Limited trading as Porsche Club Great Britain (PCGB) will be held at 1pm on Sunday 26th April 2026.
The meeting will be an Electronic General Meeting as provided for in Article 15(b) of our Articles of Association. A physical meeting will take place at Cornbury House and a location yet to be confirmed in combination with an electronic platform that enables members (or their proxies) to participate in the meeting without physically attending.
Any Member wishing to raise a question in advance at this meeting should write to the Club Secretary, at Cornbury House or secretary@porscheclubgb.com, by Saturday 11th April 2026.
Any Member may ask questions at the AGM. However, where a Member asks multiple questions, a limited number may be answered at the AGM and the remainder of the questions answered in writing afterwards. This ensures as many Members as possible are able to express their opinions. The Chairman has overall discretion to accept or defer questions.

Further, to be eligible to be a Director, the Member must own or co-own (with not more than one other person) a Porsche car at the time of application for election as well as at the time of election, and be resident in the UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands at the time of election.
NOMINEES
ELIGIBLE MEMBERS MUST be nominated by a fellow Member for election to the Board of Directors and must have indicated in writing their willingness to serve on the Board of Directors. A manifesto must be provided of not more than 250 words which should be an indication of facts setting out a Nominee’s reasons for qualification for a Director’s position, and not a set of proposals for the future.
The Membership Number of both Nominee and Proposer must be given on the Nomination Form, and each Nominee must sign his/her Nomination Form.
Proof of ownership or co-ownership of a Porsche car is also required to be provided and shall comprise (i) a UK Registration Certificate showing that the individual is the registered keeper of the car (if the applicant is the registered keeper) or (ii) a declaration (in a form prescribed by the Board of Directors) made by the applicant confirming that the applicant is the owner or co-owner (as the case may be) of a Porsche car at the time of application, and will be the owner or co-owner of the Porsche car at the time of election.
