sign up for some of these. If you haven't been to one of the regional events before, please come along and
say hello they are usually relaxed and fun.

These are held on the first Wednesday of each at the Owl Pub & Hotel in Hambelton near Selby from around 8.00pm.

DIY Morning at RPM
When: Saturday 21st May
Contact: Mark Jessop
RPM Specialist Cars of Knaresborough have offered us morning to get some cars up on ramps and run through
some DIY tasks and get a tour around the workings of our cars. This is an excellent opportunity for the
non mechanically minded amongst us to get to grips with the mechanical side of our cars.
Let me know if you have any specific things that you would like to look at.
Fastlane Show 2011
When: Sunday 15th May
Contact: John Bushby (gonzosquidgy)
Fastlane 2011 is a Supercar Show held in Corbridge, Northumberland at Tynedale Rugby Club, a venue which
BBC's John Inverdale stated to be the most picturesque sporting venue in the country.
The show will have trade stands, club stands and many individual cars. Previous events have seen cars such
as De-Tomaso, Ford GT, Aston Martin GT4, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus, TVR, Noble and Corvette to
name but a few.
There will be a Concours Competition to determine the best presented car of the day in classes as well as
overall, as well as awards for the best club stand (not necessarily most cars)
Entrance fees and details to follow.

Yorkshire Region's Annual Concours at Harewood House
When: Sunday 5th June
Contact: Mark Jessop
This is our annual Regional Concours supported by our main sponsor Strasse together with Specialist Cars of
Malton. As well as the concours, both Strasse and Specialist Cars bring a fine selection of cars to look
at and we normally attract over 400 Porsches of all models parked up in front of the main house. There is
also a selection of trade stands and live music. This is a brilliant venue with many attractions and
extensive playgrounds for the children. It should be possible to purchase discounted tickets can be
brought from directly from Harewood in advance via their web site. These tickets are for the gounds/under
stairs only and can be upgraded to the House on the day. Harewood will provide a dedicated entrance lane
to all those who have pre-paid to speed up entry into the grounds.
As usual we are seeking volunteers to help out with setting up, parking on the day and running the
concours. Please let me know if you can spare an hour or two.
Harewood House Fathers Day Classic Car Show
When: Sunday 19th June
Contact: Mark Jessop
This annual event attracts huge numbers of classic cars of all types and has lots of entertainment for all
the family. We have never attended this event as a club before, but this year we would like to get a club
stand together, there is a prize for the best club stand.
This year RPM Specialist Cars of Knaresborough have kindly offered to sponsor our stand at the show and
will be proving tickets for members. Each entrant gets a family ticket for 2 Adults and 3 Children (ages
4-16) for entry to the grounds and so is exceptional value for money. As with our own event early in the
month the weather is normally stunning.
They have a central arena with entertainment and everyone gets to parade their cars round. Last year's
entertainment was a Monster Truck destroying bangers in quite a spectacular way and previous years have
seen a motorbike/quad bike display team.
Summer BBQ Drive
When: TBC Early July
Contact: Mark Jessop
The plan is to have a run out to the coast and take along a set of disposable BBQs and spend a pleasant
sunny afternoon as a group BBQing and enjoying the last of the summer sun. We aim to take ball games,
maybe football, rounders. This makes an ideal family day out.
We are still to identify a suitable location that will allow BBQs, so if you know of any then please let me
know.
Details and dates to be confirmed.
PCGB 50th Anniversary Celebration
When: 2nd - 4th September
Contact: Mark Jessop
2011 is the Golden Jubilee for the Club and this event is the Club's main event starting on the Friday and
Finishing on the Sunday. Currently this is my understanding of what is going to be happening:
Friday: Track day at Coombe, based around short sessions so people can have a go without committing to a
full day. A very cheap way to try the car out on track, and I suspect there might be a lunch or post-track
debrief in a local pub.
Saturday: Silverstone is the main venue. We will have both Porsche Experience and some sort of track
action, with masses of different things happening. A day similar to this year's Boxster and Beyond, for
those who attended or read the write up.
Sunday: Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. We have the whole place to ourselves, and it is truly
massive. The Porsche Experience will be there, with the Cayenne's hooning around in WRC-style.
The place to get full details is Porsche Post
Other Events that are still in planning
Fish & Chips Run.
Bemish Musem Run.
Several Runs out. - Settle/Buttertubs/Tan Hill
Weekend Away.
Plus all the other club events:
Silverstone Classic
Porsche and Polo
Classics at the Castle
Front Runner
