Guys we need some support please for the Poole weekend. Gary has explained to me that some of you were disappointed that we are asking for a donation for a hospice so I would like to explain why we are doing that and why you should make the effort and come especially if you are a 997 owner based in the south.
Friday night on the quay will be great fun with around 100 Porsches on display. The quay is a very lively area overlooking a lovely harbour and the Sunseeker Super Yacht factory so as well as a brilliant display of our favourite cars you will see some of the world's best boats. There are lots of pubs and clubs along the quay and there will be a great buzz on the night as this is a well known annual event. It's worth coming just for this but there is a lot more happening over the weekend.
Gary has chosen a hotel that has secure parking well off the road and overlooks the harbour and one of the best marinas in the country and you can check it out at http://www.salternsharbourside.co.uk/
This hotel is very popular and will be booked out so you cannot leave booking it to the last minute. There are alternatives if it is already booked out.
On Saturday Gary has organised a drive along the Jurassic coast and you can check out this area on http://www.jurassiccoast.com/ This is a beautiful area rated as world heritage site so well worth doing. On the return drive we will be stopping off at a local hospice for terminally ill kids and taking some of them out for a ride in our cars. Those of you who have done this sort of thing before know how rewarding this can be. I will be taking pictures and giving each kid a print as a memento of the day. It's easy for us to take our cars for granted but for these kids it will be very special indeed
You can check out the hospice we will be supporting at http://www.julias-house.org/
I know the recession is hitting all of us but life it is a lot tougher if your child or brother or sister is dying and won't live beyond their teens.
On Saturday evening I will be holding a BBQ at my house which is located in a beautiful area. I am providing all the food and drink at my cost and asking those attending to donate £25 to the hospice. This is cheaper than eating out and those of you who attended the 996 and 997 Sunseeker/Porsche days will know what my BBQs are like. This is a bargain that supports a very worthy cause not an expensive luxury or a rip off
On Sunday I am happy to take out those 997 members attending the BBQ on the boat (weather permitting). If this is of interest check out the videos on www.goldfishboat.com This is not for those of a nervous disposition or for anyone with a bad back.
All in all this promises to be a great weekend where we can have fun and raise some money for a worthy cause so can we have some more 997 register support please. If you want to come to the Friday event on the quay then you have to register your car at www.911uk.co.uk/Dorset/poole_quay_2009.htm
