[FONT=arial"]CLUB NIGHTS: Our first club night of the year is Tuesday 20th February, and we have James Martin from Magnitude Events joining us. Magnitude are based locally at Wreningham and specialise in Track Days, Tours and Events. As we have our first Track Day at Snetterton this June, we thought this would be an interesting and informative evening and hope to see a good turnout. [FONT=verdana,geneva"]

[FONT=arial"]28th January - Sunday Lunch at The Boars, Spooner Row.[FONT=calibri,sans-serif"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"][FONT=verdana,geneva"][FONT=arial"]A good turnout for the first event of 2018, with 31 members enjoying lunch at this new venue for the Club. We were given a room just for us, and as we had all pre-ordered lunch we were served very quickly and efficiently by the staff. It was good to catch up with friends we hadn’t seen for a while and several had travelled quite a distance to join us. We lingered over teas/coffees with the last of us leaving around 4pm. On a bright, sunny, Sunday, we even drove home with the top down!! [FONT=verdana,geneva"]

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING UPDATING YOUR MEMBERSHIP DETAILS:-


All club members now have the ability to sign in to the club's new website (https://www.porscheclubgb.com/) to update their contact details, car details and select the Regions and Registers from which they would like to receive emails. Cornbury House uses the email address in this system for sending out club wide communications. We would encourage you to check your details are correct.


FINALLY, a warm welcome to new members who have recently joined, or those of you who have been members for a while but not yet attended a club night or event. It took us about 3 months to pluck up courage to go to our first club night after buying our first Porsche. We were quite nervous about it – would everyone have brand new cars (whereas ours was 20+ years) and would[FONT=arial"] anyone talk to us? We need not have worried, the welcome we received was both warm and genuine and we have never looked back. Our circle of friends has widened with each year and we have a great social life. So please don’t be shy – come and meet us and see what we are all about. [FONT=verdana,geneva"]
