2009 Events
 
Below is our provisional list of events for 2009.  The year got off to a good start with a trip tut Lancashire, but a planned trip around our home county in February did not happen.  Many excuses given.  A full investigation is underway.

Club outing tut Lancashire
Technically speaking this was a 2008 event, but we have only just got around to putting the pictures on the website.  This was a Xmas run that appeared to include a lot of driving in search of lunch.  Photographic evidence here
The Lancashire Hills
8th March
Black Rock Sands
It will be just like when we were kids.  Driving in loads of traffic on a sunday to the welsh coast to east chips in the rain and then sit in traffic all the way home.  Them were the days.  Pictures and story here.
The A5 and the A55 ??
26th April
PORSCHE CHESTER
After some organising the PORSCHESHIRE team finally got an invite to an OPC to test drive some of latest 911s - and in the company of official PORSCHE drivers from Silverstone.  The team were split - some linking the 4S and others the PDK on the 2 wheel drive Carrera. Something of a surprise was the attention given to a Skoda Superb in the car park.  #6 is seriously considering one in place of his A8!  Video on YouTube soon.
Cheshire Oaks
4th May
A galaxy far away
On a cold bank holiday monday in the far reaches of the outer galaxy of cheshire a small gathering of jedi scouts set out to investigate a rumoured gathering of alien craft.  The jedi fleet of #1 and #2 with a young Jedi student arrived at the Gawsworth site to find a number of craft from the dark side (including caterham 7s and TVRs) but were pleased to see that members of the PCGB and its rival TIPEC had establshed a camp on the upper ground to protect all civilians.  There were 2 big surprises during the trip.  The first, to see a rare GT2 Clubsport Jedi craft - in yellow was a welcome surprise.  The second, a nasty noise from the front wheel of #1's jedi craft suggested foul-play from the death star warriers. The master Jedi (Tony) came to the rescue the following day and so the force wins over the drak side once again.
Gawsworth Hall
15-16 May
Mille Miglia
A small group from the club decided to go back in time and witness the Mille Miglia.  A very classy trip was had.  Nice hotel, nice food, nice wine and really nice cars.  For details click here.
