I was on the factory website, and came across a section for club support from the factory. I used my dealship email, and sent them a message. this is what I got back, and I didn't know if we as a club were interested or not. I never said I was anything more than a memeber, and I don't want ot step on any toes here, so I thought I would pass it on to whomever. The factory seems like they want to info for all the clubs, not just PCA, and it's cool what they have on the site, with pictures and info of lastest trips and actiivites...anyway...here it is( I hope):

Dear Eric,

thank you very much for your kind e-mail - please excuse the delayed reply!

Porsche Club Coordination at Porsche AG in general takes care of all the world wide Porsche Clubs and part of this task is to also assist the officially recognized Porsche Clubs in their efforts being (or becoming) more efficient regarding activities, gaining new members, appearance in the public, etc. As, however, not all can be done from Germany, at all our importers we have nominated a Club Coordinator being the first contact if a national Club needs assistance. For the US market it is the above mentioned Mr. Jack Bair at Porsche Cars North America (PCNA).

Of course there is the umbrella to all the "regular" US Porsche Clubs, i.e. the Porsche Club of America (PCA); this is the main contact for all the regional Clubs in the US, but we do not stop them from contacting directly the US Club Coordinator. In certain cases Mr. Bair will then pass on specific requests, or part of these, to us.

The situation for the Registers for 914 and 356 is slightly different, as they are not part of the PCA, but individually recognized by Porsche. This means, that such Clubs may contact PCNA or Porsche directly with their needs and worries.

As you mention in your e-mail, you are member at the 914 Club - which is a nice coincidence, as for a long time we have tried to contact Mr. Alexander Buller who is, according to our files, the President of the 914 Club. However, we never were successful in this. So I dare to add a questionnaire for the detailed positions of the board of the Club and I would be grateful if you can forward this to the right person. Of course we are pleased if you could give us a brief report on the Club, the activities, number of members and if there exist sub-regions in other parts of the US etc.



Thank you very much for your kind assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact either Jack Bair or us if you require more assistance or information.

Kind reagrds,

Volker Spannagel

this is not PCA, and PCNA is just listed as a contact. This done through Germany, and they have all sorts of clubs listed on the site. I'll have to see if I can get a link for it...

I've been working very closely with the Club Coordination in Stuttgart for a couple of years (when I was a board member of the dutch 914 club)

You'd be amazed about what they (can) do. They have a HUGE! backing machine
The sky is pretty much the limit. Both for the clubs as well for the classic cars.

Been to Stuttgart a couple of times. Lots of fun and cool stuff!

Like Mike sayz... they do have rules for you to follow... LOTS of rules and they'll only back you up if you are a Porsche approved club

Another problem... we are not an entity (we're not a real club) and we don't have paying members

Judging from Volker's e-mail, I do think he is confusing us with another "914 club" though...

I went through the information that they are asking for and it seems like they are looking for an actual club, not just a web presence. Specifically, they want to know:

PRESIDENT
VICE PRESIDENT
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
EVENT MANAGER
SPORTS ACTIVITIES
EDITOR CLUB MAGAZINE
WEBMASTER
NUMBER OF REGISTERED MEMBERS

Lyrissa is correct. Alex was the last president of the "Renegade" 914 Club. After a while, they dropped the "Renegade" label (originally adopted to differentiate them from Dennis Deeds' 914 Owners Association) and were just "914 club". They were the folks behind the old DGI.net 914 website and forum.

In an odd way, this website is a direct descendant of that one. IIRC, it started as a way to continue the old "Classified" section from the DGI site, and then it grew and grew.

Alex left us quite a few years ago now (RIP), though Barbara occasionally pops up around here... The other "prime mover" that I remember from that time is the former (and also no longer with us) owner of Ginter's Six.

Now, that's interesting. If Porsche was attempting to contact the [Renegade] 914 Club to possibly recognize and work with them, why not us?

Almost correct (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Less Government = Democratic REPUBLIC.

Remember people Democracy is not a government. A Republic is (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
