Hi All,
Sorry, Terry & I won’t be able to join you this Saturday as I’m working. Must try and sort out my sunday work schedules so that we can join you all.
Have a lovely drive, the food sounds delicious 
See you soon

Hi Mal Chris and Doug,
Can you please put myself and Clare on the list for this one.
Food order is
2 fish and chips
2 chocolate Mousses
Money to the usual pay pal account.
Thanks
Hi Tug & Clare,
Great news, I will add your choices to the spreadsheet.
Currently, the venue has not asked for monies up front, so hold fire on a PayPal payment, unless I advise otherwise.

Hi again everyone,
Sorry I have not posted on the subject of PayPal Payments sooner but I have been busy with the builders here working on our Conservatory upgrade - delays due to rain 
I have already had a couple of payments via PayPal, so if anyone wishes to send a PayPal payment to me (malrowland21@gmail.com) I will note this on the spreadsheet. Don’t forget to select the paying a friend or family box🙂 Alternatively, if members wish to pay by card or cash on the day, I am sure that will be fine also.
Regards
Mal
Hi Mal

A big thank you goes out to Chris & Doug Phillip’s, for leading today’s drive from Sainsburys, Farlington, to The Selsey Arms, West Dean, Near Chichester.
We had ten MX5’s meet at Farlington, where we were delighted to welcome new members to Solent Area; Howard & Julie together with Dean & Sarah.
Chris & Doug then led us via the A27 and A3, where we turned off towards Horndean & Rowlands Castle.
Serena and I were meant to be the “rear-guard car” but due to a series of traffic lights and roundabouts, we got separated from the main group but navigated our way via Funtington to West Dean, where we met up with everyone in the Selsey Arms Car Park. The room we had been allocated by Nikki was excellent for our group of 19, as was the food
The feedback we had from members was very positive and we have vowed to return in the Autumn and to this end, I spoke to Nikki (Landlady) before we left, who was still busy working in the kitchen, due to their chef currently being off sick about this and said I would email her to arrange a date and also took the opportunity to tell her how delighted we were with the food and service.
Below are some photos I took on Serena’s phone, as I had left mine at home on the dining table 
If anyone took photos today, could they please send them to me on; solent@mx5oc.co.uk so I can put them in the next Solent Area Newsletter 
Best Regards
Mal
