PCGB. Region 9. West Midlands
Our Meetings are on the First Tuesday of the Month. At the Bear Inn, Berkswell .
As the year runs on, numbers at the Meeting are increasing again, so do come and join us.
This month, there were two extra curricula activities. And there are many more to come.
Our visit to Meguiars at Daventry, was very well attended and we all started from The Bear, led off by Paul Seagrave. What a lot of speed cameras !.
First, Stephen gave us all a talk on the history of Meguiars. Followed by a description of all their products and the manner in which they worked. See the attention in the photograph, in the packed lecture room.
We then had a demonstration of mechanical and hand polishing, by Tom and Stephen, in their specially designed detailing bay. More pictures. Adrian's 924 S was selected as the guinea pig, it was straight off the road from a week travelling to work, and not washed ! Thanks to Stephen and Tom.
The Clay Pigeon shoot was not so well attended, possibly due to the confusion with Easter. Nevertheless, we managed to complete our shooting by 1 o'clock, including a buffet. Most of us having 50 shots, all for the total sum of £28. In the afternoon all joined in with some air gun practice on the 50yd and 100yd ranges. I took one gun and Fred Millin took a 10 shot repeater with telescopic sight and also a pistol. The ladies excelling in their shooting. Thank you Dave Ryan, for letting us do this.

This has been moved to Bank Holiday Monday, the 5th of May. Our Parking Area will be marked by our Region banners etc. As this is a Porsche Championship Event, I have also invited the Porsche Enthusiasts Club, so we should have a good crowd. Not much time left to make up your mind to come.

At the time of writing this report, I am seriously short of bookings for this event. We will have to pay for the track this year and therefore, I have to ask for the money up front. To book, please send me your cheque for £25, made out to PCGB and endorsed on the back "Curborough". Thanks to all those who in the meantime, have responded. See last month's PP for more information.
