PCGB Region 10 "˜Pride of Ownership' Concours 2012
Our R10 "˜Pride of Ownership' Concours will be held as previous years at
Porsche Centre Silverstone, on Sunday 12th August 2012.
Please note that we are limited to 36 cars in the competition on a first come, first served basis. This is not intended to be a "take all your wheels off and spend 24 hours cleaning them with your tongue" concours event (although you're perfectly welcome to do that, if it floats your boat) rather an emphasis on enthusiasm and pride of your vehicle; you'll not be alone.
Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the highest scorers in the following categories:
(make sure you're clear which you've entered!)
*Best Aircooled (covering 356, 550, 912, 914, early 911, SC, 3.2, 964, 993)
*Best Early Watercooled (covering 924, 944, 928, 968)
*Best Modern Watercooled (covering 996, 997, 991, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne & Panamera)
*Best Overall "" the winner of this trophy will have achieved the highest score out of all entries from the three categories above.
*Best Visitor "" this category is for non-R10 members.
*Best non-Porsche - this category is mainly aimed at our Associate members who do not yet have a Porsche, but can still join in this event. Full members are also welcome to enter a car as well as entering the Porsche categories.
Non-Porsche means exactly what it says (i.e. any motorised vehicle of interest, including motorbikes "" within reason"¦ NO, you can't enter a juggernaut) Because of the potential diversity of this category, Members will judge amongst themselves for the winner here - hopefully providing some contrast to all the Porsches. I would personally like to see a few older classic cars amongst these entries. Unusual entries will be welcome, but will also need to be OK'd prior to the event, please.
*Members Favourite "" Members will judge amongst themselves for their 'Members favourite', which will also be awarded a trophy and prize.
Programme for the day:
10:00 Porsche Centre opens
11:55 Latest time for concours entrants to register
Tony Holland will be registering entrants, so make sure you seek him out earliest to get your car entered (Pre- event registration is the best way - see below).

As always the judging will be carried out independently to help maintain a fair and equal competition (Brian Harris and Julian Morris from Elite Motors Bodyshop will be judging, along with Andrew Mearns).

We also hope to have Andrew Mearns from Gmund Cars with us, demonstrating Swisswax car care products.

To coin a phrase: "book early to avoid disappointment"...
I look forward to seeing you all on 12th August "" we'll have fun!
