25 years of the 996 anniversary event at RAF Cosford 9th October.

Hi Guys & Gals The event details are now on the club’s event and register pages. Hopefully we will get a good turnout. Whilst this event is free to attend, you must book to guarantee your place in the reserved display parking area. We are limited to 150 cars in our reserved parking area inside Cosford’s grounds and therefore the need to book. Further parking will be available in the public car park, where parking charges may apply.

I thought the centre of the PCGB universe was Bicester?

I've heard that rumour too. [ ]

Hi Andy, Sounds like a great idea. I think it would fantastic you get the 996’s together to mark the 25 year anniversary. I would be up for it, assuming it was within a couple of hours driving time. Tim

Thanks Tim.

Sounds like a great idea Andy, Deb & I would be up for that, don't mind travelling it's a car club after all. [ ]

Thanks Andy. Yes I would be interested.

Sounds interesting to see lots of 996's together! Are non members welcome?

Andy, great idea will join in if at all possible

Replied to the email... yes, definitely up for this if the dates work. Later in Sept or any of Oct looking good thus far! Fingers crossed!

Awesome, all booked!

Thanks Andy. Ticket booked Best regards David 2000 996 C4

Looking forward to this (almost as much as I’m looking forward to getting my car back after its engine rebuild!)! Ticket booked, hope to meet some folks from here

Der alte flieger kommt! Zeusy.

Thanks Andy , ticket booked. Looks like a fabulous venue...

Hi all, booked my ticket yesterday and looking to meeting up with you all.

Booked a space thanks Andy, looking forward to it.

Looks like it is popular, tried to book but all spaces gone and on reserve list

Booked as well. I managed to sort my issues, Andy. Sorry to disturb your evening. Simon

So, after Mike booked today and got a ticket I tried again. I now have a ticket , wonder why when I applied on Tuesday I got sold out and email from club saying I’m on a waiting list? Bizarre! Edit, just had email it’s public parking only so won’t bother. Check your tickets! Might not be what you were expecting

Booked my ticket but, shame, only public parking. Any chance of extending the numbers in the grounds or letting me know how many of us are on the waiting list?

I will not be able to attend this event now. Therefore there is a display space back on the list. Enjoy.

Thanks for letting us know. If you haven't done so, I will let the office know so they can reallocate your ticket. Regards Andy

Sadly I won’t be attending either as we are going away in the camper ( late decision). I have tried emailing club to advise, Michelle first, all I got was generic reply! So emailed media as advised by the generic email, no response. Today had email with final details so have emailed Tom.avery as directed in email. Hope this means ticket can be reallocated now. Not sure why it takes three emails to different parts of the club to advise ticket not req and allocate to another member

Thanks for letting Tom know Geoff enjoy your trip. For anyone who is unable to attend on the 9th please send an email to [email removed] so we can reallocate your ticket. Kind regards. Andy

Hi - looking like i WILL be able to make the day Are there still places left? Cheers!

I think you can attend just not park with the group While this event is free to attend, you must book to guarantee your place in the reserved display parking area. They are limited to 150 cars in the reserved parking area inside Cosford’s grounds.

The only person who will be aware of any places available due to cancellations will be Tom at club office. email and ask the question [email removed] regards Andy

Thanks - will do

What time can we start to arrive?

Please don't arrive b4 10am. Thanks Andy

ANYONE ATTENDING TODAY DRIVE TO THE MUSEUM DONT STOP AT RAF COSFORD ITSELF WHERE THEY ARE HAVING AN EVENT IGNORE THEIR YELLOW EVENT SIGNS. ANDY

Good luck enjoy the event

Fabulous event today, huge thanks to everyone involved in organising it. the venue was perfect and I thought it was brilliant to see so many different flavours of 996 represented! All special cars… i’ve uploaded a few pics to Google photos - hopefully this will work! https://photos.app.goo.gl/WNHbm2TncWSetNeh7

Hi Tim. Thanks for your kind comments and for the Photos, and glad you had a great day. Kind regards Andy

Hi All Just to let you all know how the day went. Lots of nice comments received from members today about the event and venue. Thanks to all the members who let us know that they were unable to attend, fortunately their tickets were reallocated. Overall, we had a total of 105 cars which was bit down, and there were some who would have gladly filled the missing slots. Members travelled from far and wide to attend, two from Scotland, covering 309 and 389 miles respectively. The overall winner for the furthest distance travelled was Pierre from France, with a distance of 412 miles. Thanks to all who came and made it such a pleasant event. Kind regards Andy

Thanks Andy Very enjoyable day and good to see so many 996. We had a really nice drive through the Cotswolds on the way home in the afternoon sunshine. Regards Ian & Maria

Thank you for organising, was a great day and a brill venue!

Hi Andy, Hi all, just a quick word for telling you that we absolutely enjoyed every moment this week-end....Even my 2 kids at the rear seat for more than 835 miles. we appreciated as much visiting for the first time the museum as seing so many beautiful exemples of my favourite 911 ever ! Thanks a lot! Can't wait drinking a fine ale in those beautiful glasses!...and coming back soon. Cheers, Pierre.

Many thanks Andy and to everyone involved in putting together such a wonderful 996 anniversary event. It really was great to catch up with so many Club friends and of course some of our excellent Cornbury House dream team in such awesome surroundings. As these events all to often look so seamless on the day its really easy to forget just how much effort goes into not just coordinating, but how much planning of an event of this nature actually takes from the outset; organising tickets, right through to packing up at the end of the day, so hats off to you all, you did an outstanding job creating an enjoyable and very memorable 996 anniversary experience for everyone who took part.

Was a great event and awesome to see such a wide selection of 996s. Thanks Andy (and wider team) for organising it!

Hi, Was a good event, well organised. Nice to see a few other Targa's there too . Thanks for organising
