What on earth is going on a PCGB???!
Discussion
I've been away for a few weeks and just catching up on my forum reading. Over on the PCGB website there seems to have been an explosion about an EGM, something about directors expenses, sacking the board etc. Can someone save me a few hours and fill me in on what on earth has been going on!?
Absolute disgrace that a club of this "stature " should decend to this level...far too much cloak and dagger stuff going on...how are the ordinary members supposed to make judgements as to how the club should progress when both sides of the argument are not given equal status? Helen..I think you may have a point with the USA style system ! All will be revealed ? Maybe!....Steve w.
I didn't get my copy of Porsche post last month (September), anyone else?
Edited to add-
This months has turned up & good to see normal service has resumed. Great photos of the "Porsche polo" event, & how kind to show some pictures of the dog show, though I'm glad they informed us that all the animals got along well, I almost wished I'd gone....

They should all be burned at the stake for witchcraft and Sorcery anyway . Bloody familiars leaking ectoplasm on classic 959 leather . Slack jaws the lot of them . Salem witch trials please , with extra burning .
I welcome the plague and pestilence to come personally , cant be worse than Asda prices can it ?

10% here. 10% there..insurance, repair work - but would question whether you could negotiate this yourself anyway.
The mag is 'quite useful' but am yet to get any support from Tech at Head Office; I find PH better for all manner of advice and insight.
Most OPCs will give you 10% if you just ask then to 'confirm that they will give the 10% Porsche club discount'.The mag is 'quite useful' but am yet to get any support from Tech at Head Office; I find PH better for all manner of advice and insight.
Lets face it, their 'robust' pricing leaves a bit of room for it.
£14 for a shagging bolt!

Thanks all but anyone care to fill me in on why a bunch of people want the board sacked? What has been going on with the expenses...?
In all my years on PH I have read threads that mention the 'possible' down fall of PCGB, or the internal issues they have, then someone usually mentions TIPEC, then the thread is usually closed or disappears. What I'm saying is that I don't think you'll get an objective or even subjective summary of the goings on. The mere mention of PCGB seems to create an awkward internet silence on PH.
^^^^This is obviously based purely on my observations.

I asked them to renew my Log In details months ago; nothing heard.
It doesn't really get much simpler than that. Not convinced it is a 'Club' for me, and I frequent a few in St James'.
Agreed. Cancelled my DD this week and moving to TIPEC. It doesn't really get much simpler than that. Not convinced it is a 'Club' for me, and I frequent a few in St James'.
I have just about had enough of the board and their antics. The membership calls for an EGM (for which 50 signatures are required) and at which it is proposed a vote of no-confidence in the current board be heard. Before the 50 signatures are 'in' (and its all been done by the PCGB Forum on-line) the board declares its own EGM but with no proposals on which to vote (and certainly no vote on the continuance of the current board). So now we have the boards EGM and, potentially, the membership's EGM.
Oh and for those that wasted their money at PCGB 50th Event at the Royal Agricultural College on the Saturday, when there was NOTHING to see or do because there were no cars there (another masterstroke of communications by the board) the Comms Directors has informed us that far from it being a failure actually it was to our advantage to be there on the Saturday because the queues were significantly smaller for [non existent] key attractions. This is not a club anymore; instead it appears to be a cynical business. Of course we couldn't have our money back since the club seems to be in a perilous financial condition, besides that money is needed for other things....
Other things? ...... how about alleged but certainly far from transparent issues such as large numbers of board members apparently planning expenses paid jollys to South Africa and suggestions and counter-suggestions of improper dealing and legal action. In short an utter mess and a disgrace.
I have no idea what is true and what is not and nor do I suspect do most of the club members. However I do know that there is something terribly terribly wrong for this to have got to this state of affairs
