Hi John and Patricia
Many thanks and I have added you to the list above.

I have also tweaked the route to include a short stop off at McDonalds at Totton (see above).
We can meet up there with any other Solent Members who would like to join us.
I have put the event on the new website Events section and it will show in the Solent Calendar of Events too, as and when the new website is eventually launched.
kind regards
Paul

Hi folks

Just to confirm the event details at the top of this thread have changed to move the en route meeting place to Rownhams Services on the M27 and a slightly later departure time from there.

We are now meeting  up with cars from the Solent and South Central areas and the Car Park at Totton McD’s would not be big enough.

 

kind regards

Paul

 

I’ll meet you at rownhams services at 9:15. 

 

Andres

 

and also another mk1 with Darren.

Hello Andres and Darren,

Thanks for letting me know.

I have added you both to the list in the main info at the top of this thread.

I will aim to park the group coming with me from West Sussex at the top of the Car Park at Rownhams, which will hopefully have fewer cars, so we can find each other!

See you at Rownhams Services!

Kind regards

Paul

HI Paul
myself and the Grandson will watch out for you at fontwell

kind regards Andy & Maxwell

Hi Andy and Maxwell

Tag on to the Group if you are joining us for the run down the A27!

Will look out for you at Fontwell en route.

Paul
