Dear Porsche lovers,
I am delighted to announce that your events committee have been working hard during lockdown to try and deliver some great events, so far as possible and as safely as possible.
As usual, activities will be split between our own members only events and broader public events which we attend informally. If you are interested in joining PCGB then you are welcome to come and try all of our events and we hope that you will enjoy them and join us.
Social distancing measures will be in place for all activities and if you have had any Covid-19 symptoms within the preceding 14 days then please do not attend.
If anybody has any difficulties booking any of these events, please contact either myself or David Baker via the usual channels and feel free to post any questions below.
