Thanks Angus and team.

I had a really good day and managed to sell some nice bits and pieces
to good homes.
I'm looking forward to the next meet up.

Cheers

Thanks to Greatworth team and the helpers. Great swap meet, shame about the weather for the first few hours, my socks were wet all the way home:)

I didn’t buy anything but had great chats with a number of people.

I had a great day catching up with everyone and thanks angus for hosting 8)

Didn’t actually get to look at any stands as was talking to much to people and donning my orange marshaling vest …. Whilst nursing a hangover as a result of a night out with Bootsy ! :lol:

Luckily I was prepared with full waterproofs as I’ve never known rain like it when it hit proper. Was amazed at the amount of tree branches down on the local roads !

Thanks Angus and his wonderful family for such a great welcome and superb organisation. Great to see so many faces and catch up with DDKers I’ve not met up with for ages. Great day despite the early downpour. Brendan and I just home at a whisker after midnight. Thanks to everyone who supported the event. Not met Angus before and his set up is fantastic. Superb workshop facilities. We’d love to come again next time!

Regards
Mike

What Mike meant to say was HE got home just before midnight, I got back to Glasgow at 1:10am after over 800 Miles (of mainly Mike driving).

Thank to Angus, family and team for a fantastic day, we will be back. Also great seeing so many people after such a long time.

Thank you to Angus and the team.
He has a great setup and I hope that allowing so many people to see it generates enough business to make it worthwhile for him so he can continue to host the event in the future too.
It was a wonderful event and it was lovely to meet up with everyone again.
Shame about the weather as so many people made epic journeys to be there but it cleared up to be nice later.
Stupidly I changed all the clocks except my watch and left an hour earlier than I thought.

A really enjoyable day again, the wind and rain was soon forgotten when the sun came out. Angus and team did a fantastic job of hosting the event and it is great to meet up and put faces to names.

Wonderful to have the opportunity to browse the workshops and I always leave with more Porsche knowledge than when I arrived :) .

Thanks to the Greatworth Team for organising this

I managed to get loads of little bits that are missing on my project so this swap meet was invaluable.. the bacon sandwiches were good too

Hope to see you all at the next meet ,hopefully without the rain

The workshop with interesting cars to view and staff to chat to was certainly welcome when the rain hit! Thanks again Angus and Team
