What you do on your committee, register or general volunteering?:
I have volunteered over the years with the club events. Mainly flag marshal duties. This is a great way to get close to the track and get to the core of Motorsport. I have also got my wife and mother in law involved with track marshalling too. It is a really enjoyable way to meet like minded people and see the action up close. I am also the register captain for the Macan/Cayenne chapter. And would love to revive this chapter once we get back to some normalcy.
What you drive?: Day to day, 2018 Macan GTS. On runs, tours etc. 2012 911 Carrera S which I just love, although I am looking at a new toy (fingers crossed)... What you do on your committee, register or general volunteering?
Alison Belot When did you join the PCV? January 2007
I am on the Social Committee, my main focus at the moment is on helping Alf to organise the Grand Tour of Tasmania, and starting to think about options for the next Tour. Thanks to COVID this is taking way longer than expected! A few of us did a “pre-run” just before Christmas to check everything
What you drive?: 2010 Cayman (987) What you do on your committee, register or general volunteering? As one of the Boxster/Cayman Register Captains, I organise social runs for my register.

PORSCHE PARADE
As a competitor too you realise just how important the volunteers are. without them, there are no track days. Volunteering is vital to the club whether it be social or motorsport.
out (I was just being thorough, I didn’t enjoy myself at all!), unfortunately we’ll just have to hope that all of the restrictions are lifted in time for April 2021. I also like to organise mid week runs when I get the chance. Why do you love volunteering for the Club? I love driving and enjoying my car with likeminded people. I also enjoy organising things (control freak??), so bringing the two together just seemed natural. I’ve made some great friends through the Club and am always looking for an excuse to get the 911 out of the garage.
My love of Porsches started that day, so I saved up my money and finally at the end of 2013 I bought my Cayman. I was keen on doing track days so I joined PCV and was so welcomed on my first social event that I kept coming back.
Unlike most people in the club I didn’t grow up wanting a Porsche.
So when I was asked to become one of the register captains, how could I refuse.
In 2013 when I was looking around for a sport car, I took a new Boxster for a test drive.
Besides, somebody has to test drive all those lovely Porsche friendly roads (at least twice) to get the run notes right.
What you do on your committee, register or general volunteering?
I first joined the Porsche Club in about 1985 when I had a 911 SC.
To experience the comradery and passion for the club through volunteering. It is also a great way of networking with like minded people.
Why do you love volunteering for the Club?
Since then I have owned three 911s and seven 944s and currently have a 2016 Cayman S manual and a 1986 994 Turbo.
When did you join the PCV?
Volunteering is much more than just showing up. It is essentially getting involved in the spirit of the club, at the core level.
I have enjoyed the competition events and the social runs and made so many friends over the last 6 years.
on our house in Breamlea, re-joining the club in 1997 after I purchased a 1977 911 Carrera 3.0.

Why do you love volunteering for the Club?
Shortly after re-joining the club a good friend of mine, Roger Holding said “Dave, why don’t you join the social committee”? So I did and I have continued to be involved. I felt my experiences as a TAFE director and manager could add some organisational and planning skills to the club. Plus, in my early days I had also been a lecturer in hospitality at the Gordon Institute. Along with my love
of wine and food I thought I could offer some exciting venues for our different runs. As a member of the social committee I enjoy the opportunity to introduce our members to some of the fine dining experiences we have on offer in Victoria. Can’t wait to get back to it!!! Why do you love volunteering for the Club? By getting involved in the club Jennie and I have met some really great people, many of which are now very close and dear friends. I can only encourage more people to get involved in the various aspects of the club as you will find, like me, it is a rewarding experience.
