The Typ356ne Porsche Club held its 10th annual Spring Tour on May 16-18, 2008 at the Woodstock Inn and Resort in Woodstock, Vermont. There were over 72 club members (spouses, friends, visitors) who attended this annual event. Included were 10 first time attendees to this event. The cars included twenty nine 356's, 911s, 912s, 914s, Boxsters and "Yes" a 1963 Carrera II Coupe belonging to David & Paula Fischer who came all the way from Glenside, Pennsylvania.
There were several caravans of cars driving from different locations up through the beautiful New England mountains to meet in the beautiful town of Woodstock. An excellent Tour booklet was mailed to each participant prior to the start of the Tour. The entire event was planned under the direction of the club's "Tourmeister", Don Osborne, who orchestrated an outstanding event. He even made sure there was no rain during the day events. Quite a feat!
After everyone arrived we had a very nice "Cocktail Hour" followed by a fabulous dinner at the Woodstock Inn. On Saturday, after breakfast, there were several drives planned in which the participants could decide to drive. Preplanned routes averaging 120 miles, to 50 miles or less, ensured every participant the option best for them, even if that meant just walking around the town of Woodstock and visiting all of the shops and markets.
Saturday night we again had a "Cocktail Party" and dinner at the Woodstock Inn Country Club. All the food and drinks provided by the Woodstock Inn were nothing less than outstanding. Sunday morning (after breakfast) the group met and had their annual group photo. This year’s "Spring Tour" will long be remembered by its participants. It will also be remembered by the hundreds of visitors to the town of Woodstock who were treated by getting a chance to see all our fabulous cars.
The club's "Spring Tour" gives a chance for members to meet new members, renew friendships, admire each other’s cars, and above all, drive our cars.
