Dear All,
The seeds of an idea for this event were sown by Patricia & John Wheeler. So, we contacted Naomi House and the staff, namely Karen, Claire and Peter, who have been absolutely brilliant in coming back to us with what will be in the art of the possible on the day, for an Easter Egg Drop for the Children 
Each nice and shiny MX5 attending, is asked to purchase an Easter Egg(s), either a Milk Chocolate, Plain Chocolate Egg or Dairy Free Egg.
Today, the 15th February and being a nice sunny day, Serena and I got in the MX5 out again and drove to the area to look for lunch venues. Unfortunately, a lot of the pubs in the Sutton Scotney Area have small car parks, so with our possible group size, together with other pub customers this was not viable, so we drove the short distance to Stockbridge and looked at The White Hart, which is at the West End of Stockbridge on the Roundabout. Full address is: The White Hart, High St, Stockbridge SO20 6HF Serena and I have eaten here on several occasions and its a great food venue 
There is a large car park behind the pub, heading North up the R/H side of the pub, just off Trafalgar Way, which serves the hotel part of the pub but on a Sunday lunchtime the Manager (Paddy) said parking should not be an issue 
So, to summarize;
Drive Start Point: Roadchef, Sutton Scotney Services, on the A34 Northbound.
Start time: 11:00 for a prompt 11:15 departure
Arrival Time at White Hart: 12:00
Food Serving Time: No later than 12:30 to allow members to get seated, organise drinks and be ready for food at this time.
NB: Menu(s) are being emailed later today and these will be added to this post.
Sorry to be so prescriptive about this but we need to be in our cars and ready to depart The White Hart at 2:15pm prompt, for the 11 minute drive along the A30 to Naomi House and park up in the Reception Area. More details on this will be posted on this in the next few days.
Naomi house staff will then bring out Children that are able to come out and meet us, under the under cover area of the reception area, to see our MX5’s and for us to hand over the Easter Eggs to the staff
