cheers Johannes for a grand evening......[]
good to meet up with old and new faces !
Indeed, it was really good to have the partitioned off bit Johannes, definitely met more people this time due to the arrangement...
Looking forward to more London events...
Sundeep, I still haven't met you and I have been to every single Ace Cafe meet this year starting from the Spring Bank holiday one... must make a point to find you next time... do you do the Dysart Arms meet in Richmond?

Looks like you had a good time, but it seems the 'cornered off' thing by the PCGB alienated some Porsche fans / owners who turned up. It gave the appearance of a 'them & us' attitiude by the PCGB []
True, I know Boxnet guys come to the German Performance night too... but as I had posted earlier, I actually got to speak to certain PCGB individuals whom I have seen at Ace but I wasn't sure if they were Porsche owners... As Bart Simpson says, "you are damned if you do and you are damned if you don't". I'm sure we will come to a half-way answer on this forum...
I thought it was just to seperate from the "boiks & Beemers"?

I'm sure all Porsche owners were welcome?

The door did say, "PCGB members only", maybe just a, "Porsche Enthusiast Meet Here" might be a bit friendly? I'm sure if the space is set aside every time, we will need no signs...
It was never intended to act as a them and us, next time just walk in and say Hi [

It was a real dissappointment. We stepped into where you guys were but it was cold. There was no questions with regards to where we had come from, or what we were driving or any introductions to any other club members. We kinda had backs turned to us and then felt ignored. So we stayed for a minute or so and then looked at one another, shrugged and wondered off to look at BMW and speak to their owners and talk cars.
I really wanted it to be a good night, I really wanted what they say about the closedness of the PCGB not to be true. However all I can do is confirm that it is on the evidence of that night. Seems like a old boys club.
I have 7 or so Porsche owning buddies who meet up now and again and I believe ALL of them are PCGB members like myself. I was hoping on the strength of this night I could have attractted them to the night. Imagine 7 more early Porsche's in the car park.
Not impressed really. [>:]

Yuck! ...and no one ever warned me as I then took over Jeff's space; Jeff I assume you left early to clean the stains? [

Blimey[
I didn't even go and i had a great night[
I turned up at the Nurburgring in July and Jeff (PCGB VP) virtually jumped on my bonnet, shook my hand, started taking pictures etc and i'm on the front cover of Porsche Post this month as a result!!
So maybe it's your aftershave??[8|][
Best thing to do is 'GO AND INTRODUCE' yourselves.[

This is what Bones posted on the DDK froum and my response.
bones said:Hey apologies from me if anyone had there noses put out by P.C.G.B. members at the Ace that is certainly not our intention. If any of you guys go there again (looks unlikely) if you see a guy in an ally wheelchair say hi I'll chat about Porsches all night, I was inside out of the cold last night in the back room and didn't realise that there was a sign on the door saying P.C.G.B. members only, new members have asked organisers to make current P.C.G.B. members more visible to newcomers but this attempt may have backfired and no doubt we'll take on board what people are saying and try again.
Incidentally this is no way an apology from P.C.G.B. as I can't apologise on behalf of other members but we are all Porsche enthusiasts so let's not fall out.![]()
Well we did go in anyway to say hi.
Nevertheless mate no worries. I guess I might make a trip down next month, maybe. Again its nothing personal, it was just a really unwellcoming that night at the ACE with the PCGB.
No hard feelings, I guess we all love Porsche and it as certainly most probably a misunderstanding.
Its all good. 8)

In any event, why not come and join us in Cambridge on 6th November - have a look at the thread on the Boxster forum - the invitation is on http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=139394 and ownership of a Boxster is not a pre-condition for coming along for the fun. Do let either poor and long suffering Mark or myself know if you are attending; reply through the Boxster forum as above, please.
Looking forwards to meeting others later; at the Ace cafe next month and in Cambridge in November.
