Sunday 23 July - Intermarque Gathering

[Mike Pink]

Just a reminder that Sunday 23rd is R10's 4th annual invitation meeting for classic and prestige sports car marques [][].

Details are available at http://www.crazyspeak.co.uk/pcgb/

We already have a number of members from R10 and neighbouring regions ensuring a good Porsche representation, and TVR, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Renault Alpine, etc are looking to give a good showing too. Please help me [8|] by letting me know you're planning to come - and whether you will be wanting to buy a BBQ meal. Donations to Keech Cottage more than welcome.

Starts 12.30pm, til around 5.00 pm.

Thanks everyone, we have about 50 cars booked in so far [], and 100+ for the BBQ - but only about 40 have pre-paid [8|]. I am speaking with the caterer tomorrow to see if we can get enough coverage, but I expect so. Please see me as soon as you arrive to secure your BBQ vouchers.

Should be a great day.

Great job on the organising Mike, top class day out. Great to see so many nice cars on site, even if I was in the beer tent all afternoon, chatting to people I hadn't seen in ages - or at least since Classic Le Mans!
Well done buddy,
JG []

I didn't notice if there was anyone lining up those Ferrari's as they arrived, but I have to admit, they did a pretty fantastic job!!! I've seen many attempts at various Porsche meets to do the same thing - and it never seems to look as good as that. I think the Ferrari crowd put up a very good show - and the F40 was very deserving in being everyone's favourite!!!

An excellent day - and very well attended. Let's hope the charity did well out of it too.

I totally agree, it is a shame that the Porsche owners seemed unable to make neat lines - I doubt that the Ferrari drivers can see the front edge of their cars, but they appear to take pride in the presentation. If we do it next year, I might try to park by model, colour or age![8|]

For the record, the donations and raffle for Keech Cottage Children's Hospice in Luton raised £430 (after covering £50 of prizes) to date (......still hoping for more [8|]!). A good result [], but as ever, I can help but feel that some of our guests decided to make this a very cheap (free) day out [8D]! Given any comparable event would cost c£5-10 to enter I would have hoped for more, but hey-ho that's life I guess. Perhaps I should make it more commercial/exclusive and charge an entrance fee? Any thoughts?

Take £5 off people as they come through the gate. Considering how much we know the raffles made there must have been some very cheap afternoons as you say!
