So, we now have the outline for the Club's 50th Birthday weekend. This is only the initial ideas, there's still masses of time to include stuff we can do as a Register depending what you guys and gals want. One theme that's apparent is that it'll be a very affordable event. [

Can everyone put the 2nd-4th September 2011 in their diaries? This is very much a "pick and mix" event, with different locations and activities to choose from. Briefly:
Friday: Track day at Coombe, based around short sessions so people can have a go without committing to a full day. A very cheap way to try the car out on track, and I suspect there might be a lunch or post-track debrief in a local pub.
Saturday: Silverstone is the main venue. We will have both Porsche Experience and some sort of track action, with masses of different things happening. A day similar to this year's Boxster and Beyond, for those who attended or read the write up.
Sunday: Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. We have the whole place to ourselves, and it is truly massive. The Porsche Experience will be there, with the Cayenne's hooning around in WRC-style. All the regions and registers will be there, and we can pretty much plan what we want.
Accomodation will include everything from camping to local posh hotels. The best idea is the student rooms at the college, it's stupidly cheap and, although basic, it's fine for a night or two. Food is available on site, it's a college after all. There is a bar.....[8D]
Loads of other ideas, such as a rally from the college to Silverstone Saturday morning. Mostly, though, it's up to you to tell us what you want to see put on and we'll see what's possible.
