We are developing plans for our annual Porsche Pageant and Concours Competition which this year will be held at Cromford Meadows in the beautiful Derwent Valley countryside. We are delighted to have continued sponsorship from Porsche Centre Nottingham who will be present with a display of new cars and a selection of Porsche regalia. There will also be other stalls of interest.
After 16 years at Chatsworth House we have moved to this new venue situated off the A6 between Derby and Matlock. Our site is a huge flat grass sports field with space for more than 300 cars, ideal for bringing a picnic or you can purchase food from the food outlet on site either from the hot food van or from one of the nearby cafes - though these are usually quite busy. There will be an assortment of Porsche related stalls and exhibits.
Adjacent is the extensive Arkwrights Cromford Mill, a National Heritage site often seen on TV, with many visitor attractions, shops etc. (www.cromfordmills.org.uk). Close by is the small picturesque town of Cromford. Please be aware we are making a free film of the day which includes Drone use. Also of interest may be a narrrow boat trip on Cromford Canal, not only a site of Special Scientific Interest but also is in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This would have to be booked in advance. You may even be lucky enough to go on the horse drawn narrow boat. A link will be put on here when the covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
All is subject to Covid-19 rules relevant at the time.
Entry from 10.00 a.m. is £5 per car on the gate (no pre-booking needed) which includes free tea/coffee and a fantastic raffle.
The concours competition will have the usual classes - 1. Region 8 Air cooled, 2. Region 8 Water cooled and 3. Visitor Cars. Class 1 & 2 will also compete for overall Regional Champion. It is free to enter but entrants MUST be pre-booked. Contact r8@porscheclubgb.com for concours entry forms or use the links below:
