Hi Everyone,
By way of an update, I have spoken to The Bear at Burton again today and our booking is good and their Head Chef is not back off leave until the 20th august and will be producing a revised menu on his return, hence why I have not received a menu from them to date.
But never fear, we still have just under 5 weeks to go before the drive and I will keep the presure on the venue for the revised menu, so you can submit your meal choices to me to capture on the spreadsheet in good time:wink:
Best Regards
Mal
No problems Kim, We look forward to seeing you on the night too 
Best Regards

Hi Everyone,
This one is gathering pace, so for info, an attendees list has been added to Post#1 for tracking purposes and will be updated as time goes on 
Also, the drive route is given here, for you to print off in readiness for the drive, as I will only have a few spare copies with me on the night
Best Regards

Sorry Mal, too far for an evening drive, for us,enjoy , Judy and Tony
Hi,
Afraid as others have said it’s a bit far for me on a work night to travel
Have a great time!
Max
No worries, Judy,Tony, Esther & Max, that is fully understandable and we respect your decision. We have to be fair to both those living on the western edge of Hampshire and will be doing drives for the eastern edge of Hampshire going forward, to share things around a bit.
Kind Regards
Team Solent
Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more! I think it’s great your covering the whole area, just sadly means we won’t always be able to join you
That is very true but we hope you will join us for most drives and its complicated by the fact its a work night😕
Hi Mal,
Can you add Jue & I to the list please.
Kind Regards
Chris

As this is my home area, i can help with the route through the forest as i know the junctions. Kim
Hi Kim,
That is very kind. The route has already been produced but I will send a copy across to you,to cast an eye over and see what you think, as timing is critical for the arrival time.
Kind Regards
Mal
Thats great, there might be a few junctions, that are easier. Is it confirmed for the Bear, its near me but i have never been there.
Yes, the bear is confirmed and looks to be a good venue👍
He everyone,
For info, I have emailed the Bear tonight, as I have still not received the revicsed menu from them, to date 
I hope to recieve the menu very soon and will then post it on this thread, to obtain meal orders from all who have signed up for this drive and super

Hi Everyone,
At last I have received the revised menu from The Bear at Burton, despite chasing them twice, since I made the booking in August
Please head over to the Calendar post HERE to view the Menu and reply to this post with your choices, so I can capture them on the usual spreadsheet and get it back to them soonest!
Best Regards
