Well a successful race for Porsche this year, certainly better than last years that for sure!!
Great to see so many people in their 997 and catch up with a fair few members both on and off the site []
Congratultions to Terry for winning the raffle! and being the closest to the Dutch Party tent!!! [&:]
I'm sure we'll find plenty of pictures as we download them..

Thanks Gary, winning the raffle prize (a day at the Porsche Driving Experience at Silverstone) was a great way to finish the weekend.
I enjoyed the whole event, I thought the campsite worked well, OK the showers and toilets were not perfect but looking around I suspect that they were still the best of any campsite. This year I never had to queue for a shower but perhaps that was because there was a fair chance that it would be cold! I thought the food and overall catering arrangements were first class. Some people thought the prices were a bit high but given that it was a commercial operation with staff that had to travel etc I thought it was pretty fair.
Finding the site was not easy and signage (or more explicit travel directions) is something that could be looked at for future years. Overall though a great success for the club.

A great experience once again and I think Stephen and his team did a great job of starting the site up from a fresh base.
The veiwing on the inside of Porsche curves is spectacular but don't tell everyone as they'll make it really busy.
I had a great road trip along with a few fellow Porsche and Ferrari owners..
My passenger was astounded the machinery he saw over the weekend - on the public roads were a Veyron and a Macca!! not too mention the F40 and CGT wandering around!!
A couple of pictures from myself, jsut to give you a bit of the experience...
The morning and only half way through...
Some rather happy Germans []
Only 12 months till the next one and a few weeks for the Classic this year [8D]

Hi All
I am grateful for the positive comments and I am sure that the organising team who made it all possible will also be pleased to see that their hard work was rewarded.
With regard to the toilets I have already posted some comments on the Le Mans 2010 part of the forum. Signage is a major issue which is compounded by the ACO who refuse to let us do our own signage and then did not erect any yellow signs or brief the gate security correctly.
This will be ignored next year and we will put our own signs and redirect members via the blue signs.
Also I would be grateful for any photos of the event, the two Gary has posted are excellent.
Thanks once again and we will try to improve next year with new ideas!!!!!!!
