Hi Everyone,
We sadly ran out of time at our planning meeting on Wednesday, before I could run this one past you all, as I did not wish to delay you longer than was absolutely necessary, on a dark and wet evening. I had a poster for the event ready to project on the screen for you also but…hey ho
So, without more ado, here goes;
We will convene at Costa Coffee at 10:15am, Sainsbury’s, Broadcut Fareham. PO16 8SU, which opens at 08:30 on a Sunday, and partake in coffee and or tea and sticky buns. The main store opens at 10am, so a chance to get any bits or use the facilities at Sainsburys therein.
We will leave Costa in convoy at 11:00am and partake in a scenic drive, which I will have already scoped and will post on this thread, as Tulip Directions, once I have produced then in the next few days.
The drive will take us through the Hampshire countryside on some scenic and not too narrow roads and will finish at New Place, Shirrell Heath, Southampton SO32 2JY
There is a Christmas Craft & Gift Fayre being held at New place, Shirrell Heath, which is a wonderful building with a lot of local history, which can be found at: http://www.newplacehotel.co.uk/new-place-history, from 12:00 to 16:00 and the poster is given below for you to view;
There is a cafe/bar and snacks will be available on the day but not sure how extensive or limited these will be at this stage, as they are still finalising things.
However, there are lots of Hostelries in the area. Samuels Rest/The Wheatsheaf, Shedfield/ The Anatolian, Waltham Chase or The Vintage Inn, Waltham Chase Carvery, to name a few and decisions can be made on the day on where to go for lunch or divide an conquer according to people’s availability and preferences.
We look forward to seeing you at Costa on Sunday 1st December
Best Regards
Mal & Terry
