South West, Wessex Area news
March area news
anything fresh to report on since last month. So I will
refresh your memories with what has already been discussed
and agreed.
The New forest Run, 12th May, this is later than normal,
due to Easter and the school holidays. It will start as always
from Ringwood car park and finish at the Tank Museum,
Bovington. Trevor, Neil & myself have finally been out &
about to sort a route, which still might need a bit of tweaking
to avoid road works etc., which seem to be popping up all
over the place. As they say, “we are a causality of our own
successâ€, in that due to the numbers that we now attract (200
cars, PLUS!) it is difficult to find suitable routes and venues.
The amount of visitors to the New Forest & surrounding areas
has now made it not quite that relaxing, enjoyable experience
it used to be. So this year, we will be including some
of the New Forest and then spreading out to the wider Dorset
countryside. You will see in our advertising, that we are sorry
to say, that dogs will not be allowed on Tank Museum property,
this is out of our hands and is a problem we have had
to overcome in previous years, with most of the village halls
that we have relied on with playing fields, now starting to ban
dogs, especially if children use the same facilities. In fact this
is only the tip of the iceberg as Dorset & Hampshire councils
have brought in more stringent bylaws!
Beaulieu Spring Auto-jumble, 17th – 19th May, normally
we do the three days, teaming up with Suzie & Guy who
now run the Andover area.
20th Hardy Country Classic Tour, Sunday 2nd June.
Always a good day out, starting at Hampton Farm,
Bockhampton, lunch stop Melbury House and finishing up at
The Riviera Hotel, overlooking Weymouth. Keith from the TR
Drivers is trying to put together a run, sometime in June,
depending on the response that he gets from the rest of us!
It will finish at the Museum of Army Flying, at Middle Wallop.
Silverstone Classic, 26th – 28th July. It has been left up
to individuals to make their own arrangements about getting
tickets and which days they wish to attend. We are planning
to go on the Thursday and come back on the Sunday. I am
surprised that only six of us have booked, it is a brilliant event
and very good value!
As of this moment, we are not quite sure what is planned
for the rest of this season, definitely a case of watch this
space (or check your emails!).
Next meeting will be at the Tyrrells Ford, Thursday 25th
April.
