Hi Stephen

I hope you can make Wednesdays meeting.

You will meet lots of new members as well as some old hands, and you will be made very welcome.

Regards

David

As being new member virgins we didnt understand the theme

If it is a new member night why does a motor biker USA fit in?

The theme of the evening was for new members to meet existing members informally, and it was a light topic to interest possibly most members, and of course Norman is a Porsche owner.

We have had talks by tyre manufacturers previously about the manufacturing process and what information you can find on the sidewall of a tyre, but I thought this may have been too heavy for new members. I have been in rubber for over 40 years so I find topics like this of interest

I hope you met a good number of R18 members, and were made welcome.

I noticed you hadn't booked any of the forthcoming events, but hope you will come along to some of our events in the future.

Perhaps our next monthly meeting at Jasmine Porschalink on 20th May will be of more interest, or even "Porkers in the Trough"

Please let me know if you will be attending, as this will help Jasmine to be able to provide sufficient catering.
