Come join the fun, learn something new, and get up-close and personal with lots of beautiful German machinery. We’re looking for a couple of people to help with registration and scoring tabulation on the day of the event, and roughly 16 individuals to participate as judges. Although some experience with either judging or showing a car is helpful, it’s not necessary as we will help and guide you along the way. A more comprehensive judges training will be provided later in the summer or early fall. Commitment is what we need, as we only host 2 - 3 judged events per year, while other concours events (Porschefest & Gathering of The Faithful) are People’s Choice events. Please send an email expressing your interest to: concours@pcapotomac.org 4th ANNUAL FOUNDER'S REGION CONCOURS d’ELEGANCE

The easiest way to start participating in PCA Potomac is to attend one of our monthly brunches where we casually get together on the first Saturday of the month in Gainesville, Virginia and third Saturday of the month in Glen Echo, Maryland. This is a great way to meet other Porsche enthusiasts, talk about your cars, maybe trade some tips, or just hang out and enjoy the morning. Everyone is welcome, including newcomers, out of town PCA members and visitors from any region.
