Past Registry Holidays

"The Holiday is the premier event of the Porsche 356 Registry, dating back to 1975, when Ginny and Bob Gummow had a great idea: a national 356 owners get-together, where members who read the club's magazine could meet in person, share information and show off their cars, and spend a few days immersed in all things 356. Two years later Bob Raucher brought the idea to the West Coast with a San Diego Holiday in July. There, registration was $20, rooms at the Town and Country Hotel were $25. Throw in $10 for the banquet and you had a $100 weekend!

The events have become a centerpiece of the club’s activities, and more than seventy have taken place, all put on by volunteers who welcomed their 356 brethren to locales around the USA and Canada. Looking at the lists here you will note some folks who put on multiple events, but the record is held by Joe Johnson and Randall Yow who have (to date) hosted five Holidays! Our thanks to the many members, especially those behind the scenes, who have made this a marvelous club tradition." - Gordon Maltby

Holidays are popular enough that often there are two in a year, usually labeled East Coast Holiday and West Coast Holiday, but not always.  All the Registry holidays are listed below by year and location (west and east of the Mississippi River).
