Probably about time i got a thread up for this if i'm going to organise it. Don't expect to see any proper information within the next couple of weeks as my wedding is imminent. However, the basic plan is to have a meet in the New Forest (West Hampshire) including a drive around some nice roads in the area and a barbecue at the end.
The starting point is the Cat and Fiddle pub, Hinton on the A35. BH23 7DS. The date is Sunday 30th April. Meet at 10:30 in the pub car park, depart at 11:00. Drive around with a few scheduled stops (specifics will be handed out on the day to avoid randoms from dropping in via google) to help keep everybody together and for photo opportunities. Then finish at a barbecue site for lunch around 1:30.
The barbecue site is now booked for our group so there will be plenty of space and large grills available, just bring coal and food. There are a couple of picnic benches on site too, so if numbers stay as they are we shouldn't even need to bring any seats.
If anybody would like to join in part way round the route, post in here and i'll get in contact via pm. I'll be making up a map of the route and handing out copies to all cars in case anybody loses the group at any point, i'll also hand out a couple of phone numbers. Sundays in the New Forest are as busy as you would expect with any national park, especially if the weather is good, so be aware and don't panic about getting left behind.
Everybody involved will be representing the club and will be expected to behave accordingly. Every event i've helped with has made me proud of our members and i see no reason why that should change.
Date is Sunday 30th April, get your names down!
