REGISTRATION CLOSED

We are delighted to announce that our Annual BBQ will go ahead on Sunday, 6th August 2023, in the Radisson St Helen’s hotel and we sincerely hope you will come along and join us.

For the first time since 2019 we will move the dining element of the event indoors to free up more space for people and Porsches on the lawn. We’ll use the experience from our last three BBQs to ensure that we run a safe and friendly event for our members but by having access to the indoors areas we will have greater flexibility for a large number of attendees, cars and changes in the weather.

There are a few changes to previous years' barbecues:

  • Earlier start to the event: 12.00 vs 14.00
  • Earlier start to the BBQ: 15.00 vs 16.30
  • Earlier prize giving: 18.30 vs 19.30
  • Higher level of Club subsidy reducing the price of adult and teenager tickets and keeping children’s tickets free

The BBQ menu, which got excellent reviews from members last year, remains largely the same. A vegetarian paella will also be available.


All members must register and pay online using the Register button below to attend. Only members may register for themselves and their guests.

Bookings will close at 19:00 on Monday 31st July 2023. All tickets must be purchased by then. There will be no option to pay on the day.


This year we have again planned a photo shoot for each member’s car so you should arrive early, but not before the gates open at 11:00 for parking. The photo shoot will be a gift for our members, and we will post high-resolution photographs on the Club’s website afterwards. The hotel will provide a hose pipe to allow members to wash their cars.

Besides the photo shoot, we will have the same People’s Choice special concours this year and the attending members will pick the winners. The first-place finisher’s Porsche will grace the Club’s membership card for 2024.

We will have a charity collection point and would ask that members make a donation. We will forego a raffle this year. Our charity for this event will be announced in due course.

Timings (approximate and are subject to change on the day)

11:00 - Gates open for the early arrivals (please don't arrive earlier)
12:00 - Official event kick off
15:00 - BBQ is served
18:30 - Concours Prize Giving
19:00 - onwards time to socialise and catch up with friends


BBQ tickets
Despite increased costs, the Club this year is increasing the per person subsidy and lowering costs to members:

  • Club member, member's partner and adult guests: €25 each (Club subsidy: €22)
  • Teens (12-18): €15 each (Club subsidy: €10.50)
  • Children (under 12): Free (Club subsidy: €18.50)

Adult tickets also include one drinks voucher (wine, beer, 0.0 beer or soft drink) for use at the bar adjacent to the lawn. Complimentary wine, beer and 0.0 beer will be provided at the BBQ.

Sorry, registration is now closed.

Bookings are non-refundable and essential as numbers for the dinner may be restricted due to availability of space and food preparation.
