PORSCHES ON THE PITCH

Past President, Tim Evans

Sunday August 6th, 2-8pm at Shawnigan Lake School, upper Rugby pitch

Don’t miss the party!

In 1996 Vancouver Island became a separate region of the Porsche Club of America. Prior to that we were part of the Canada West region. We hope you will join us to celebrate the Club's 25th Anniversary that occurred in 2021. It is now 2022 and better late than never. We couldn’t celebrate the event last year due to COVID restrictions so we have planned an outdoor event at Shawnigan Lake School where we can park our cars on the upper rugby pitch and enjoy a family barbeque and get together with our members from all over the Island. We hope to have a large number of our Past Presidents there to celebrate with us as well.

The event will have a real festive atmosphere and be lots of fun.. There will be a show-n-shine with commemorative ribbons awarded for a variety of classes. The juniors will get to vote on their favourite as well. There will be great draw prizes, a 50/50 in support of our scholarship fund, and you have a chance to win the grand prize, a set of Continental Tires.

We have also arranged for optional accommodation ($55 per person) at one of the school dorms for those who don’t want to travel after the event. It is in Renfrew House - a young women’s dorm. All rooms have two single beds with either a shared washroom with one other room (jack & jill) or a “gang washroom” on each floor. As you can imagine the dorms at the school are very deluxe with amenities and the price is very reasonable. Other options are Airbnb and VRBO as well as the Villa Eyrie Resort (10% discount with code VIRPCA) but does require a minimum 2 nights.

When registering you will need to choose your burger type on the form - Beef, Chicken, or Salmon. There will be a selection of salads and non-alcoholic refreshments, and desserts. Note there will be no alcohol available at the venue but you are welcome to BYOB. The cost is $15 per child under 13 and $45 for everyone else.

Attendees are asked to indicate which class their car will be entered in, all cars are eligible and this will be a mandatory requirement as all cars will be displayed on the pitch and eligible for an award. The classes are – 356’s, water-cooled transaxle 924, 944, 928, & 968, water-cooled post 1999, Boxster, Cayman, Unstock, Panamera & Taycan, Macan & Cayenne.

Also for an event of this size we are asking for event volunteers to help it go smoothly mostly around directing traffic and parking the vehicles in their classes on the pitch. You will be finished in time to join the party. Registration is now open on Motorsport Reg msreg.com/Porsches-on-the-Pitch
