mawby Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 A couple of us have decided to try and organise a mini-meet for people in Southampton and Portsmouth and anyone else who wants to come along. Unless anyone has a better suggestion, we've decided that Lee-on-the-solent will be a good place to hold it. It's nicely situated between Southampton and Portsmouth and is really easy to find if you don't know the area. There are also loads of places to park and if it's hot and sunny we can go down the beach; buy an icecream and the likes! The intention is to meet at a pub and then decide what to do from there, thats if we wanna leave the pub! I'd recommed The Old Ship pub as a good place to go as they have an outdoor drinking area right next to the car park, and they also serve some good food. Details of the pub can be found below. Again, other suggestions are welcome. Finally the date. We've decided to hold it in July as it will hopefully be nice and sunny and also gives people plently of notice. The following dates are available so far... 6th (Sunday ) 12th (Saturday) 13th (Sunday) 20th (Sunday) 26th (Saturday) 27th (Sunday) So if your interested in going then could you let me know here, including prefered dates or dates you know you can't make. Hopefully I can then sort out a date suitable for everyone. Cheers, Lee The Old Ship Marine Parade East Lee-On-The-Solent Hampshire PO139BW 02392 559811 http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&db=pc&addr1=&client=public&Submit.x=17&addr2=&advanced=&Submit.y=6&addr3=&pc=PO139BW&quicksearch=PO139BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ayling Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I could be up from that. I'm living in Burgess Hill now but I'm a Pompey boy originally, I have friends who live in Lee so could double it up with a visit to them. Can't do the 6th, but any of the other dates could be OK if I book it with "the boss" as far in advance as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 if I book it with "the boss" as far in advance as possible I'm glad you said that, I'd better run it past my boss too! Oh well, bit late now! So that narrows it down to the following dates... 12th (Saturday) 13th (Sunday) 20th (Sunday) 26th (Saturday) 27th (Sunday) ...with the following people hopefully attending...

Mark Ayling Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Speaking of "the boss", she's just reminded me that Billing is on 26/27th!! I'm definately going to Billing, so won't be able to make those dates - you don't really want to double up with one of the biggest Jap meets of the year anyway!!

mawby Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 D'oh! Thats a good point. So that narrows it down to... 12th (Saturday) 13th (Sunday) 20th (Sunday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 And this escapade looks like it's gonna be happening on the 12th and 13th http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9429&perpage=15&pagenumber=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ayling Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 hehe The France thing's tempting, not sure whether I can do that yet - would be nice to have the option though... I guess lets see what date(s) the other Pompey people or Scummers can do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 yep I'd be up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 Right, I've just done a search on "20th July OR 20/7" and it returned just two topics, this one and the Upcomming Events one (Where it matched 20th and July on different lines) So I think it's going to be the Sunday 20th July, unless enough people want to make it one of the other dates. I guess lets see what date(s) the other Pompey people or Scummers can do... That's one of the reasons I suggested Lee as a place to meet, neutral ground to prevent any rivalry!

So it still looks like the 20th July is the best date so far with the following in attendance... Me Jive Sean doyle Mark Ayling Scooter So that's 3 people from Portsmouth, 1 from Southampton and 1 from Guildford. Jive, you need to get more Southampton people along , otherwise you're gonna be out numbered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted June 12, 2003 Author Share Posted June 12, 2003 OK, in that case I think we'd best finalise the details. Date: 20th July Place: The Old Ship, Lee-On-The-Solent Time: I'll check when they open but I can be there anytime. For anyone who doesn't know the area I've made up (in the context of producing rather than being fictitious! ) some maps showing how to get there from the M27. There's one for people comming from the Portsmouth direction and one for those comming from Southampton. There's also a close up of the area showing local road names and alternative places to park should the pub carpark be full. Portsmouth people... http://www.mawby.dabsol.co.uk/SupraEvents/Portsmouth.gif Southampton people... http://www.mawby.dabsol.co.uk/SupraEvents/Southampton.gif Local street map... http://www.mawby.dabsol.co.uk/SupraEvents/Street.gif I hope this is useful and I look forward to seeing you all there.

Jake Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Originally posted by mawby People hopefully attending... Me Jive Sean doyle Mark Ayling Scooter JohnK I only just noticed this thread, I don't usually read the Gatherings and Events cos they're all bleeding miles away and I still don't know what/where "Billing" is. I'll be there for this one though, add me to the list. We should go somewhere scenic to take some pics of the group* of Supras. Needs to be somewhere picturesque . . . Fratton Park maybe? Is this gonna be a Geezers Only thing or can we bring the GFs? * - What is the collective noun for a bunch of Supras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 A pose of Supras? A fury of Supras? A clamour of Supras? A horde of Supras? A thunder of Supras? A drove of Supras? A pride of Supras? A stampede of Supras? (if moving) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Originally posted by dunk657 Is this gonna be a Geezers Only thing or can we bring the GFs? Hmm....was thinking about bringing the other half along, will let you know nearer the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Ill be bringing my GF. Cant go anywhere to close to Portsmouth though, we havent had our inoculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean doyle Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Eh bringin GF's along sounds like you have already had your injections of "de-trousering"!! Just kidding guys, but yeah if they are fit get them to bring their bikini's along then we can do the "thunder (the best one) of supra's" justice with the photos!! I will just bring my inflatable......shes very flexible !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 I always found the same, loads of meets but never any that close to me. So I thought to myself, why not organise one. So I did! And besides, I've been off work all week ill and I was desperate to find something to do to stop me going mad... As for somewhere scenic and picturesque, I totally agree. There are several very scenic car parks along the coast ideal for taking some pics, the only draw back this time of year is they charge to get in to some of them, but it's hardly anything. Yep, I see no problem with gf's comming.... hehehe (sorry) I'll be bringing mine if shes not working. If they like nice cars then they'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us, and you can even try and score some brownie points by saying your taking her out for a nice Sunday meal! Ummm.. a car park full of Supras... Supras full of gorgeous bikini clad babes! I'll have to make sure my digi camara is fully charged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
