Cayman R and 987 Spyder anniversary meet.

OK, so I have spoken to Ciro at the Sharnbrook Hotel and it sounds absolutely perfect, the venue has lots of room for the cars, catering facilities, stewards all set up and are very experienced in putting on car events. It's also very central in location.

Ciro is going to email me further details but i understand that we would just need to turn up and display the cars and the actual organisation of the event in terms of marshal's, food and drinks etc on the day would be run by them.

They have plenty of room for other cars to attend and be parked in different areas to the Cayman R's and 987 Spyder's so other Porsche owners and enthusiasts could attend as well if they wish.

There would be a small entry fee we would need to pay which would also include a meal choice and drinks.
He suggested that this could be choice of a 2 course sit down meal inside or a pizza and drink package. If the Covid-19 situation changes this could be a buffet or BBQ instead, but who knows what the Covid-19 situation will be next May.
the prices he was talking about were in the region of £15-20 per car or £25-30 for a car with two people.

As this includes lunch and refreshments i think this sounds entirely reasonable.

The date that is free would be Sunday 9th May 2021 and the hotel has rooms available on the Saturday 8th if people wanted to stay the night before.

I think this sounds like a perfect venue and thank you Cliff for the suggestion.

Ciro is going to email me some further details but i just want to confirm the above sounds OK with you guys on the OC as without you it cant be a success.

Just to clarify, any ticket, food etc money or profits made will be kept by the venue, I am organising this strictly for the experience, though i might suggest to Ciro that a couple of quid be added to the ticket to give to charity so the day also helps a good cause.

Quick update to the above, Date is confirmed as Sunday 9th May 2021 at the Sharnbrook Hotel and the itinerary for the day will be something as follows.

https://www.thesharnbrookhotel.com/

Separate parking for Cayman R's and Spyder’s away from any other cars or spectator cars, the day would be an initial meet and greet, some photos, look at all the cars, meet everyone and have a chat and catch up for a couple of hours or so, some food at lunch to be something very casual and outdoor, so either a Pizza, burger type thing or a BBQ - no sit-down meal. We will then finish with a drive out on a pre-planned route as a group to a finishing destination for some final photos and a goodbye before all going home.

Taking some peoples comments into account my feeling would be to make the food offer something very casual and outdoor, so either a Pizza, burger type thing or a BBQ. No sit down meal.
A small entry ticket fee to cover the venues expenses and make it worth their while to get involved to me seems fair, especially as it includes your food and drink. Otherwise we end up just meeting in a car park on an industrial estate.
I will update further with details on tickets and hotel discount codes if you wanted to stay the night before.

Thanks

Peter
 
Hi
This sounds like a great event.
I thought being a previous R owner might swing me an invite ??
But last week I bought a new (981) Spyder and bearing in mind who is organising this event , I thought if I rocked up in this it would make a great photo op , you can see the family lineage !! :p


 
That looks fantastic mate, I really like it, if you ever decide to sell it on let me know, I will probably take it off your hands. Perfect partner for my R.

There will be tickets available for anybody to attend the event but the parking for the R's and 987 Spyder' will be separate to avoid it becoming simply a Purely Porsche type thing which was not the intention.

Once ticketing details are available i will add them to the thread, It is my understanding that this will be around £15 per car but will include entry and lunch with a drink, ie. a pizza or BBQ type thing.

I would definitely like a photo of the two cars together though.

thanks

Peter
 
Hi Peter
Thanks for the nice comments. Funnily enough i thought you would appreciate it!!
I missed the boat on your R , saw it and dithered . Wasn't going to let this one slip through the net.
I'll keep an eye on the thread and look out for when tickets are available.
A photo of the 2 cars together would be good , might see you somewhere before that.
I saw yours a couple of years ago and not seen it since !!

Kind regards

Dave
