Yorkshire region members that have been around for a year or two will know that the region has been run by a committee without a specific Regional Organiser. Generally, we have managed well, relying much of the time on Martin Plavins to take on many of the RO's tasks (thanks, Martin). However, Martin has decided to step down from the committee and, as suggested in January 2007's Porsche Post, there is a need for someone else to take on the RO's role.
So, having thought about the position, consulted the committee and some of the "˜regulars' and talked it through with Bob Lovelace, I have agreed to become Yorkshire region RO from 1st January 2007.
Many regional members who use the forum and come along to club nights will know me already; for those that don't, I have been a club member since 1995 and was a member of the regional committee from its inception until January this year. I attend most club nights and many regional and national activities and I have owned eight Porsches over the last 15 years. My current one is a 997 C2S which I bought only a month ago.
I have plenty of ideas about what I would like to do for the region next year and will be discussing these with the committee, along with the programme of events for 2007, in the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime, I would appreciate your continuing support at club nights and events over the forthcoming year.
Best wishes for a happy and successful 2007.
