So what goes on around here?
Apologies if this is in the wrong place; moderators please move if so...
Folks, I am looking to find a "happy home" with a Porsche based car club and have pretty much concluded that the other Porsche club I am currently a member of isn't going to do it for me. I'm contemplating joining up here as an alternative and I think I've got space on the car for a TIPEC sticker...
So what goes on around the North Hampshire / Surrey / Berkshire borders area with TIPEC that I can become involved in? I am based near Fleet if that helps.
Thanks!

Re: So what goes on around here?
Welcome to the forum, it looks like you are between two regions.
South East and Southern
http://www.tipec.net/region_southeast.php
http://www.tipec.net/region_southern.php
Both are very active as you can see from the links above.

Re: So what goes on around here?
Heh, that always seems to be the problem, I'm in the middle of everywhere but close to nowhere. From what I can see Southern meets at Ferndown, 70 miles from home and South East meets 62 miles from home. To be honest, neither is going to encourage attendance.
Now, it seems there's a Thames Valley region which meets 16 miles away... that seems more like it!

Re: So what goes on around here?
Hi Racepicsuk,
The Thames Valley region meets up here
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?rlz=1T4SN ... CBAQnwIwAA
on the first Tuesday of the month around 7pm. As the crow flies it's not that far from Fleet, but as the car drives it's 45-60 mins, unless you know a short cut.
The people are very friendly and the food is very good.
I'm sure Craig will be along shortly to give you more details.
All the best,
RDO
