The 2017 Porsche Club Malta Annual General Meeting was held on the 25th of January at the Continental Cars Porsche showroom.
The meeting was well attended by a large number of members. During the introduction part I made notice of the events held by the Porsche Club Malta in the year 2016 and laid out the framework of the projects due in Q1 2017, such as the organisation of the Porsche Ride & Coffee event in February, a retreat to Gozo for a weekend in March, and a visit to the Leipzig Porsche Museum and Factory to name a few.
Whilst in Leipzig Porsche Centre we will visit the museum and should luck be on our side, we will get a chance to also visit the excellent track Porsche have there. The venue is a FIA-certified running-in and test track and its design combines ten of the most challenging corners from world-famous race tracks.
Later in 2017 we are looking to organise a driving trip to Sicily in collaboration with Porsche Club Sicilia.
