[FONT=arial black"]4th August Porsche Centre Hatfield Open Evening & Concours
From 6:30pm onwards we will be holding an open evening at Porsche Centre Hatfield and members of all regions are invited.

Members with GT3s are requested to park them in front of the showroom to form a display ant make it easier for the concours judges. If you are the proud owner of a GT3 please bring it along and help us make up a special display at Porsche Centre Hatfield on our Concours Club Night. 10 of the 29 recorded GT3s in R21 are already preparing to be there. Please join them regardless of which region you are in. [FONT=arial black"]Batacks Challenge.Porsche Centre Hatfield will present a prize to the highest Batacks score of the evening.What is this challenge? Ok, we start with an upright wall about 2 meters x 2 meters with large push buttons on it. Contestants pay a £1 donation to Keech Cottage Children's Hospice to stand in front of the wall and press each button when it lights up. Pressing the lit button turns it out and another button lights up. The contestant that "turns out" the most buttons in a fixed time wins the prize. In the event of a draw there will be a play-off to determine the winner. It looks easy and is fun so bring plenty of £1 coins for a good cause. [FONT=arial black"]Raffle.We will be holding a raffle to raise funds for Keech Cottage Children's Hospice. Members have already donated prizes including a Solar Powered Trickle Charger, a Porsche compressed air bottle with sealing compound, a leather bound Porsche note book and 2 Porsche key 2GB USB sticks. A brand new Wonder Wheels Cleaning Kit (http://www.ciao.co.uk/Wonder_Wheels_Cleaning_Kit__5334056) has been promised on the night and donation of any items that would make suitable raffle prizes would be appreciate. I also have a set of new mats for left hand drive Boxster that have limited appeal. Anyone interested? please make me an offer and remember the proceeds are going to Keech Cottage Children's Hospice. [FONT=arial black"]Service Area Tours.During the evening there will be regular organised tours of the service area with demonstrations. The endoscope, a sort of Gastroscope for cars, is very interesting to see in action. These tours will provide an opportunity to view the service areas and chat to members of staff about any potential problems with your Porsche you may be concerned about. [FONT=arial black"]Complimentary Buffet.There will be a lovely complimentary buffet and drinks courtesy of The Porsche Centre, Hatfield. [FONT=arial black"]Policing our Roads.

Time........ from 7:30 pm for an 8:15 pm sit-down.
Location...The Two Brewers, Chipperfield (see directions below). Table....... In the dining room on left of entrance. Places.... 50 due to room size.
Although the menu and price have not been firmed up yet I have been informed that the Christmas Menu selection (3 courses) will be on a par with previous years and the price is expected to be about £25 per person. Therefore, I will take provisional reservations until the Christmas Dinner price is known. Just email me the names of the people wanting to attend our Christmas Dinner. Once I publish the price of the meals, members will have 3 weeks to confirm the provisional reservations and pay for the meals. This will enable anyone reserving rooms to ensure they have dinner reservations and for regular attendees of our Christmas Dinners to book as early as possible.[/blockquote]
