FROM THE PRESIDENT                                                                                                    Lourens Bester

 

Who would have believed it, me the president after being a member for +-23 years, well here I am and I must say that I would have to step seriously to fill the shoes of my predecessor, Jane Plitt. She left me with a club that has been run to perfection – thank you.

For those members who have not been to the clubhouse at last race meeting will have noticed that we are missing Aunty Linda in the kitchen as she and Uncle Ken are setting up their retirement chataeu on the Breede River – they deserve it! All the best.

Glen Esterhuizen is now our new clubhouse “manager” and he has putt together some Italian chefs to feed us. Let us support his efforts and be hungry.

Due to the issues around the Corona Virus the following events had to be cancelled/postponed – Annual Concourse, Prize Giving Awards and the motoring event at Franschhoek Motor Museum has been cancelled. The committee will keep you informed via e-mail and our website on future dates.

WPMC(Killarney) has suspended all racing events until end of April 2020

The big one of course is the National Porsche Parade Kyalami 12th June to 16th June. Dear members, if you have never been to a Porsche Parade you would have no idea why you own a Porker. A bucket list event I tell you. I have done +- 14 parades in my time and everytime I am blown away – the camaraderie and new friends you make and the old ones you catch up with – mind-blowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Book your spot.

According to the editor I have said to much already, but you the members make this club and only you can make it what you want it to be – it just so happens that we all have the same passion. So, if you find a venue that you think the club should visit, tell us, the committee is hungry for that sort of info, and you will get the job to arrange it with the committees’ help.

Read your e-mails and check your website and soon the new inter-active Facebook page will be up and running.

Bye for now and keep it on the black stuff!.
