New South Yorkshire Club Night Commencing 10th April - Please make a note in your diary

The first club night gathering in South Yorkshire takes place in just 1 month, on Wednesday10th April, at The Red Lion, Todwick and we would like as many members as possible to join us to meet old friends and make new friends, all united by our passion for Porsche.

Club nights are primarily social gatherings but it’s my intention that at about 9pm we’ll spend a few minutes talking about forthcoming events, what’s on, who’s going, where members might meet to travel together and any topics or ideas members might want to discuss. I don’t anticipate this taking up more than 5 to 10 minutes of the evening. The ‘official’ start time for club nights is 8.00pm but in reality they start as soon as members gather. We will meet in a room to the right of the bar and bar staff will point you in the right direction.

If it’s the first time you’ve attended a club night and you don’t know anyone, please don’t worry but please make yourself known to me and I’ll ensure that you’re welcomed into the group.
Whilst in all probability there will be more men than women, women will be very welcome, chat won’t only be about cars!

The Red Lion, Sheffield Road, Todwick S26 IDJ is easy to find. It is on the A57 approximately 2.3 miles east of Junction 31 of the M1, adjacent to the first roundabout. There is ample car parking and I suggest that we use the top car park which will be apparent as one drives in. There’s an excellent menu for anyone wishing to eat.

Club nights will be held at The Red Lion on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Whilst I’m very happy to help get this club night up and running, the hope is that a couple of more local members will take on the roll of club night leaders, with support from me and other Coordinators Group (CoG) members. If you’re interested please talk to me.

I look forward to meeting you at The Red Lion.

Regards
Roger Goode


 
Hi Roger, we live in Bakewell and although nominally in R8, the journey to south of Derby is awful so we normally hop over the Cat and Fiddle to R5 meets. However, Todwick is a similar distance (50 mins) so if you have a speaker or event there of particular interest we could easily make that. I seem to have maxed out on the number of affiliated Regions on my PCGB communications profile (I'll contact HQ to see if I can fix that), but if you are able to update the forum regularly with meeting details that would be great.
 
Hi Brian
Thank you for your message. You will always be welcome at the South Yorkshire Club Night or any other R7 events irrespective of the region you’re affiliated to. After all we‘re all members of PCGB and united by our passion for Porsche.
I‘m confident that the recently formed R7 Coordinators Group, known as Coordinators Yorkshire will improve communication on the forum, social media and other formats regarding future events, occasional speakers at club nights etc.
I/we look forward to meeting you in the not too distant future.
Roger
 
I like your suggested format, Roger - we might even come along for the inaugural meeting as it's not too far away for us (I used to travel daily to Beighton which is a similar distance, although the other side of the M1) and we could have a meal while we're there.
 
Hi Ian
That‘s good to know and I look forward to seeing you there.
I‘m confident that the South Yorkshre Club Night will be popular.
Regards
Roger

 
Hi James
I’m delighted that you’ll be joining us and I look forward to meeting you.
Please make yourself known to me when you arrive and I’ll introduce you to others. I’m fairly big, bespectacle, bald and past my sell by date but please don’t let that put you off ??
Regards
Roger
 
Hi Roger, would I be welcome even when I currently don't own a Porsche but am driving nearly 200 miles to view a Classic 924S upon the Friday 12th April & would value some feedback upon what to look out for if any member can help me & I have just moved to the South Yorkshire area & this place is very close to my home in Goldthorpe - South Yorkshire & have you contact the Sheffield Dealership to see if anybody is free to attend this first meet up event upon Wednesday 10th April.
 
Hi Kevin
You are very welcome to attend the club night and I look forward to meeting you there.
One of my fellow Yorkshire CoG (Coordinators Group) members is making contact with Porsche Sheffield and will invite them to come and meet us although not necessarily at the first meeting at Todwick which is bound to be pretty ‘busy’ and perhaps not be ideal for giving them the attention they deserve. Having said that if anyone should wish to come they too will be most welcome.
 
Well done, Roger, for organising this evening. It was a great turnout and nice to meet up again with friends from the south of the Region. We really enjoyed it and look forward to future meetings there.

Best regards

Ian and Sharon
 
An excellent evening! Great company and a good choice of venue. Well done Roger and all the others involved in organising it!

See you next time,

Simon
 
Thank you Simon. The number who attended and the comments they made show that there is definitely a demand for a meeting in the area. The challenge is maintaining enthusiasm and making the club night so attractive that members don’t want to miss it. All suggestions will be welcome.
Regards
Roger
 
Thank you Ian and Sharon for your support by attending last night. I’m very grateful for your support and suggestions about how to make the club night an event that members really want to attend. All ideas will be welcome. I’m keen that the club provides what members want.
Best regards
Roger
