Welcome to the Northwest Region’s bit of the internet.

Our members’ cars cover the full history and spectrum of Porsche cars, rear engine, mid-engine transaxle and electric from 356 to 992, Macan, Cayenne, Panamera and Taycan, via Boxster and Cayman.

The region is run by a voluntary committee, Malcolm and Steve, who took over the reins in March 2023.  If you do join in you will find that food nearly always has a place in our events, whether it’s a “Chippy Tea”, Breakfast Meet, or a drive out with a lunch stop, very often in stunning scenery.

We are a friendly group and prospective members are more than welcome to come and meet us at our monthly club night and chat on our Facebook page, North West Region – Porsche Enthusiasts Club | Facebook to see what we are all about.

Join for Club Night on the 2nd Monday of every month.

With effect from Monday April 10th 2023 we meet at The Hartwood Hall, Preston Road, Chorley PR6 7AX. This new venue has a large carpark to the rear of the building, which is overlooked by the area that will be reserved for us. The pub is just a few hundred yards, or metres if you prefer, from Junction 8 of the M61, making it, in travelling time terms, right at the heart of our region. Join us from 7pm to grab a drink, a bite to eat or just chat cars. There will be a club update from 7.30pm.

Regional Organising Committee: Steve Milnes and Malcolm Edwards
