[RichardKS]

Heads up: NW region concourse at The Boatyard, Riley Green, from 12 noon, 27th July. The upper car park is reserved and all are welcome: mums, dads, wives and girlfriends, children, dogs and cats, old people etc.

The Boatyard staff are in charge of catering, under Andy's instruction and the event shelter will be getting erected. Prepare to be amazed...

Now, when you say concourse, does that mean I'll need to vacuum the cat hair off my roof ?

Or will I get away with saying it's an upgrade ?

Great afternoon spent with the Tipec NW members, good to catchup with those I met before and to meet some new faces, hope to make it to the Monday meets work permitting and of course the Karting

Didn't seem to take many pictures but here's the three that I did take.

Thanks to all who came along and made this event a huge success. We had 13 Porsches on display; some old and some very new, but all were worthy in their own way.

Here are a few more pictures:

Dear All,
Thanks for coming along today. The standard was very good for all cars. As we always say, these events would mean nothing without you, the members. Once again you didn't disappoint. Nice to meet some new people. Great to see the Macan. Seeing a red 944 got me all nostalgic. Why I did I sell mine? Great pics Richard. Thanks for all your help Simon. Well done to the worhy winners. See you all next week at Haigh Hall.
Kind regards,
Andy Lane
