You are not wrong, the weather was terrible and only the hardiest turned out.

However, as a member who was attending their first PCGB event - I was impressed by the number who did make the effort.

I would just like to thank all those who did attend for making Sue and I most welcome - the weather did not discourage us from attending future events - probably because we enjoyed the Saturday run out so much!, great cars, roads and company....and it stayed dry.

Thanks again to all.

Sorry to hear it was a washout, so was the Touring Cars and Carrera Cup on Sunday.
Great driving from local man Gordon Sheddon in the Porsche guest car he got a third and second in his first ever competitive event in a 911.
Scottish weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think my jacket is still wet from Knocky on Sunday.[&:]

Enjoyed it though and got a slap up lunch and a slight dry-off in the SEAT VIP tent. [:)] Enjoyed watching Harvey chasing down Sheddon, but the local boy done good.
 
Hi All
Got to say really enjoyed the run on Saturday,good turn out of cars and of people,
Had a nice lunch in a lovely hotel over looking the river at Kenmore,then a spirited drive back to Callander.
Again on Sunday had a great time the crack was good,the barbecue was better.
But the weather was absolutley crap!!!!!!!!!
It didnt dampen our spirits to much as a group of 28 of us met up after the event
at the Lion and Unicorn in Thornhill for a slap up dinner.[8D]
It was good to meet up with you and Sue again Mark, and get a little run out with the two Turbos.[;)]
Will catch up with you again[:D] at the Hawes Inn on thursday if you can make it.

Cheers Al
 
Alan, Hi

I echo everything you've said - especially the fun of running the two Turbos in tandem, I will be at the Hawes on Thursday, so will catch up with you then.

Regards, Mark

Seems that my post has upset people and my wording has been taken out of context .If I have upset people I am sorry... As a X Ro I know the effort that goes into these events and the weather can ruin it .It was the same last year wet all day All in all it was a shame as a lot of effort went into it and people enjoyed the day despite the rain ,the barby table given by Tony helped to dry us out as well as cook the sausages .

Brian, you were clearly commenting on the weather rather than the event. Given I cannot see any complaints on this thread I can only presume someone has contacted you off-line. If this person would like to contribute to the forum in general then would they please make their objection public.

Maybe the person complaining should try joining in with the forum and realise the light-hearted nature and fundamental tone of all conversations on this forum before judging meaning. Once they have done this they may realise the context and manner of Brian's post and realise that their criticism was perhaps unwarranted and an apology to one of the club's longest serving, most dedicated and hardest working members is in order.

Second that. I thought the original post was completely innocuous and I personally had planned to attend but did not due to the weather.
 
I think we should draw a line under this topic and move on ....I thank the contributors for there support who understood my wording of the event .

Cheers

Brian
