Thank you all for your kind accolades, of course Deb & I really are bursting with pride and consider ourselves immensely privileged to be allowed to collect this award on your behalf. Please don't forget that this is the Region of the Year Award and as such belongs to each and everyone of us all here in R3. It is not just about Deb & I, so please give yourselves a well-earned pat on the back for your own contribution towards making this happen.
You, the members, have helped this Region to really make it's mark in PCGB history and should be immensely proud of this achievement. This is a fantastic award to win, especially in the 70th anniversary year of Porsche Cars and I would especially like to thank the large numbers of key members, (past and present) who have regularly gone above and beyond for the good of others and this Region. I feel it is only fair that I point out that their efforts have also undoubtedly gone a long way to R3 winning this award and put this success down to a huge team effort.
Without your continued help & support, Deb and I would simply find ourselves in an empty room at Club nights with no one interested or listening as we try to promote events or the benefits of being part of this fantastic Club. I personally feel that what continues to make this Region successful and interesting, is the wonderful people in it. Our cars are great, but without some of you even recognising it, you are by far the best asset this Region has; you share your experiences, form and bond friendships, promote our Club and are not just the drive behind motivating others to join in or take part in events but actually the real reason many choose to do so.
This award has been a long time coming and I would also like to also thank and acknowledge the great work of our previous Regional Organisers who over the years helped to shape and build this Region into what it is today.
Congratulations R3 you have truly earned and deserve this award and a massive well done and thanks to you all.
Greg & Deb.
