Also got meeting on at The Departure Lounge in the afternoon, may be a long day😁

Just had to Google it (unless of course you mean your leaving the country??). Is it the place near Alton?

 

Looks interesting, and nicer roads from Newbury to Alton.

I'm probably being a tad ambitious dragging a 10 year old around, but.....I may pop in via here Sunday morning all being well??

Plenty of parking etc. 

 

Maybe this could be a possible future meeting point if new suggestions are being sought after?

Looks like it could be a good meet!

 

We've done Podium Place before too (Bone Lane, Newbury) then from there to Bird In Hand

Generally the 1st Saturday of the month.

 

I enjoy this one, only been a handful of times though. Any money made from the selling of burgers and drinks go to the Air Ambulance. 

 

I'm aiming to pop over this Saturday morning if anyone is about??

Yes they meet as Classic Car Sundays 2 to 4:30pm, 1st Sunday in month held at Departure Lounge Cafe, Basingstoke Rd, Alton, GU34 4BH.

 

When weathers good they get a large turn out, mostly on grass and on a slope so not good when wet. Season April to October, weather permitting.

 

Must admit I questioned the address, but a good venue.

If you're coming to Alton and want to explore some of the local twisties beware... the A32 and A272 now have average speed cameras and also noise cameras... 

 

A339 and 3349 still free of cameras unless plod set up a mobile trap

May join you on this one if it’s tomorrow? Can’t find times though? 🙃

Normally it's a 10am start. I've got there at 10 and there are already a fair amount of cars.

Sorry I was so looking forward to this meet up but sprung a leak on petrol line, 10 bar leaks are not easy.

Going to try to attend the Alton bash tomorrow.
