It is with regret that I must pass on the following information from Clyde Lennon regarding the UK event - please take note:
"Notice of Cancellation – 928 Euro 2007 (September 6th – 9th)
Regrettably, due to a lack of commitment from the wider 928 community, both from the UK and Europe, we have no choice but to cancel the event planned for September 6th through 9th 2007.
We received a flurry of early bookings and since received few responses from the wider UK 928 owners, a small number from Europe and few takers from Germany. The event was publicised on all known web sites and forums specialising in 928s across the glob, Porsche Post as well as a couple of well known UK Porsche magazines.
This unfortunately means that there will be no 30th anniversary celebration of the 928 in the UK. It also seems that the wider 928 community have made it clear they are not interested in 928 type events covering more than a single day.
My apologies to all those who were looking forward to the event and who had made their bookings. All money taken by the Porsche Club GB for the initial events booked will be refunded fully in due course.
The only meeting on the weekend is at Ragley Hall for the 9th and we will be attempting to make this a single meeting for 928 owners alongside the wider Porsche community.
On behalf of the Porsche Club of Great Britain and the event organisers (David Hemmings, Rob Burrell and Clyde Lennon).
Kind regards,
Clyde Lennon"
Thanks to Clyde and the other organizers for the valiant attempt to provide a fine time for us all. Apparently 72 bookings were needed and only 60 were received. It is too bad that an ambitious event such as this could not have been more fully supported especially given the very high turnout other 928 UK events have received in the past.
