The Essex Region of the Porsche Club cordially invite R24 members to the Region's 50th Anniversary celebrations of the Club between 11am and 4pm on 26th June, 2011 at Stow Marie's Aerodrome, Hackman's Lane, Purleigh, Nr. Maldon CM3 6RN.
I have received the following:-
"This year, being a special anniversary for our Club, we decided on something special and will be holding our event at a WW1 aerodrome. The aerodrome is the largest WW1 site remaining, which was the home of 37 (Home Defence) Squadron, Royal Flying Corp., subsequently 37 Squadron RAF. The site houses a small museum and is now owned by Mr. Steve Wilson and Mr. Russell Storey of RS Performance, who are bespoke vehicle builders, manufacturing about ten vehicles a year for specific clients, the cars including their own hand-built engine, which provide awesome performance. For further details of the aerodrome see www.stowmaries.com.
Twenty other car clubs are also invited to attend and so we hope for a great range of cars to admire. In the past we have had about 300 cars and would like to exceed that number this year.
We are planning to have vintage aircraft flying in, possibly the Essex Air Ambulance, model aircraft flying displays and some historic motor vehicles.
There will be a pay-as-you-go barbeque, and a local publican will be supplying liquid refreshment.
We will run the event between 11.00am and 4.00pm and so it would be good if cars started to arrive at 11.00am because the entrance to the aerodrome is smooth concrete and single track for much of it's length.
Because we wish to raise as much as we can for cancer charities and the Essex Air Ambulance, we will make a charge of £5 per person, children under 16 years being free. Please note, there will be no credit card or debit card facilities and so entrance, food, etc., will be strictly cash only."
If you wish to attend please email r24@porscheclubgb.com with Driver name, Porsche model and Registration number BEFORE 12th JUNE or get along to the Ferryboat on June 8th to register you name.
