Proposal: Regular all-Hampshire meet

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

Sounds like a good idea to me...although I would question the Queens head and "good beer" :p - 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!

What's the parking like?

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:

The forecast looks a little better than today...here's hoping!

 

Anyway, to re-cap for anyone:

 

2pm - Rownhams Services westbound

3pm - Hedge End retail park (Homebase car park)

~3:30 - 4pm - Fox and Hounds pub, Fishers Pond

 

See you tomorrow.
