Porsche Club Festival at Ragley Hall – Sunday, 9th September, 2007

Porsche Club Festival will be held this year at Ragley Hall near Alcester in Warwickshire. This is the
imposing stately home of the Marquess and Marchioness of Hertford and their young family.
Please visit their website www.ragleyhall.com to see the many attractions Ragley holds for us and
why we’ve chosen this stunning location for our National Event. Ragley is situated within 25
minutes of junction 15 of the M40, and is signposted from the Stratford-upon-Avon bypass; it is
easily found, and centrally located.
Prices for entry have yet to be decided, but it will be very reasonable based on a per car rate. We
are aiming for a thoroughly enjoyable and FUN ‘Porsche Club Day’ with something for all of our
Members. More details will be released in Porsche Post next month. Attractions and event layout
so far may include:
􀂾 Free entry to Ragley Hall including guided tours of the Hall, and use of their new, state-ofthe-
art catering facilities near the lake, and existing ones located in the Hall
􀂾 Access to Ragley’s extensive, beautiful gardens, and woodland walks
􀂾 Ragley Jazz Time by the Lake - BBQ and pig roast in the Members’ enclosure from
lunchtime onwards – ticket price to be decided, but it will be reasonable and suitable for all
Members and their families
􀂾 A large area for Regions and Registers to display in front of the Hall, and ‘do their own
