October 2018 Hampshire Mobile Mini Meet

Post by dragonflyjewels » Wed May 30, 2018 7:43 pm

We've recently done a recce down in Hampshire and come up with a few bright ideas, but they knock the original plan into touch so we will be going down again armed with different ideas.
Meanwhile, it would be good to get a date sorted, so currently I'm looking at Saturday the 6th October. Is that a problem for anyone who would like to come ?

Hi all,

The date for this meeting is now definitely Saturday 29th September, I hope that works for everyone who wants to come.

The end point will be The Bear Hotel in Havant, which has a good big carpark tucked away behind it. We will have an evening meal and those wanting to stay overnight can book a room at £57.50 for a double or £47.50 for a single, both including breakfast. There is an option on their website under Room extras to pay £15 per person in advance, for a credit of £20 per person off the restaurant bill for the evening meal.
https://www.oldenglishinns.co.uk/book-now

Al and I are off to Hampshire on Monday/Tuesday to finalise details for the day so I'll be posting the full schedule shortly.

Sounds good! The Historic Docks in Portsmouth are well worth a visit so I might make a weekend of it.

I'm a goner for this one. :wall:

On holiday either side of the meet, so won't be about. This was driving me to get the car on the road.

Looks like I'll have to make my debut in spring '19, if Sylvia is kind enough to orgainse another!
1994 480GT - arrived!!
XC60 and XC70 for the daily grind.
C70 Coupé Convertible for the sunny days. Should sell it but can't!
