Ark Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 After the varying success of the last two Basingstoke meets, I think it might be nice if we could build this into a regular monthly meet - a different meeting point, drive and pub each time. Perhaps even grow it into an all-Hampshire event. I suggest the first Sunday of each month (unless that clashes with something big). Locations, times and routes to follow, depending on indicated enthusiasm. Let me know what you all think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 OK, I'm looking at Sunday May 7th to meet at 3pm. I'm open to suggestions on meeting points, drive and destination, but I'm thinking of these possibilities: 1: Meet at Hedge End Retail park etc Curries/ PC World, drive at Fishers Pond (Queen's Head pub) 2: Meet at Wickham Square, drive to Petersfield (Seven Stars pub) 3: Meet at Winchester Tesco, drive to Andover (White Hart pub) The idea is that we can meet and chat, have a pleasant (Supra-friendly) drive to a family pub with good beer and preferably food, should anyone want to stay out and eat. I think the timings will work reasonably for an early-ish dinner, or give anyone time to duck back home if there's going to be a Sunday roast awaiting them... OK, over to you guys... What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stew123 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sounds like a good idea to me...although I would question the Queens head and "good beer" - might suggest changing this to the Fox and Hounds at the top of Crowd Hill (about a mile from the QH)... Wouldn't be able to do every meet, but would give it a good go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doeboy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Sounds good. Was wondering if there was a meet in Portsmouth area, but petersfield, hedge end fine. Just brough my first supra, picking it up on saturday. Cant wait to go for a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stew123 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 2 big car parks - one either side of the pub (one in front is best as it's near the beer garden ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 OK, I'm opting for #1: Hedge End meet, drive up to Fisher's Pond and the Fox and Hounds Pub. Meeting at 3pm in the retail estate car park- there's a decent amount of space outside of the Homebase store. Meet location is here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=SO30+2UH&ll=50.927763,-1.29879&spn=0.024615,0.088148&om=1 Route is here: http://www.maporama.co.uk/share/iti.asp?SESSIONID=%7B36075AE9-8ABC-4085-B5B8-93D3947131C0%7D&ITI_START_COUNTRYCODE=UK&ITI_START_ADDRESS=&ITI_START_ZIPCODE=SO3&ITI_START_STATE=&ITI_START_CITYNAME=HEDGE+END&ITI_STEP_COUNTRYCODE1=UK&ITI_STEP_ADDRESS1=&ITI_STEP_ZIPCODE1=&ITI_STEP_STATE1=&ITI_STEP_CITYNAME1=bishops+waltham&ITI_END_COUNTRYCODE=UK&ITI_END_ADDRESS=hensting+lane&ITI_END_ZIPCODE=&ITI_END_STATE=&ITI_END_CITYNAME=FISHERS+POND&NumberStepMore=1&SEARCH_ITI2.x=28&SEARCH_ITI2.y=14&SEARCH_ITI2=submit I thought it might be a little more interesting to go out via Bishops Waltham, otherwise it's only a 5 minute trip...

squiffy Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 hows about we all go to the meet at the services and then head off to the pub afterwards, would get a bigger group i guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest banherc Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 How many are up for this, as of today????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 OK, I'm counting six people at the moment: 1 Ark 2 Squiffy 3 Banherc 4 Teri 5 Stew123 6 Doeboy Squiffy's idea seems good to me - they are meeting at 2pm at Rownhams Services, west bound, before heading off west. We can always meet there, before heading off east and continuing to Hedge End, as above. So the route will look something like: http://homepages.tesco.net/christopher.nixon/route1.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
