Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As per topic, is it worth joining PCGB these days? I used to be a member about 10 years ago on the 997 register and it was very active with meets/socials, drives, dinners etc - is it still the case or not really worth it for a 987 owner, as my servicing is going to be done out of the dealer network.

POST 2Original post

I’m not sure about the social aspect side but I have found that the discounts have more than covered the membership. Even if your servicing is outside of the network, there are discounts on different parts suppliers, specialists, driver training etc.

POST 4Original post

I've been a member of the PCGB for many years ... I've never questioned whether or not I should renew so I guess the answer for me also is, yes.

POST 5Original post

I don’t think it matters what car you have. I’ve been a member for nearly 20 years, made life long friends and had a whole heap of fun and adventures. For me it’s all about the social bits, I suspect you could get the same discounts elsewhere.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks for the responses. Sounds like I ought to sign up again!

POST 7Original post

your car insurance might be less if you are a club member - depends on your insurer/car. for me (993 insurance via Footman James), the price of PCGB membership is roughly equal to the discount I get on my insurance. So a no-brainer.

POST 8Original post

Been thinking about the same. More so for the social aspect and group road trips

POST 9Original post

I was a member but left as I found it too corporate. Much prefer TIPEC.

POST 10Original post

Think for many the 'value' will be through the various discounts & fuel card which is worth having But a lot of the centrally organised member meets seem to be a variation of a parking somewhere and walking around a car park (albeit in nice settings). There are interesting events organised by a lot of the regions, but these don't seem to be subsidised. So other than the magazine not really sure where the membership fees actually go!
