Basingstoke PHers Pie and Drive II - June 29th
Discussion
Right Everyone - especially the Basingstoke PHers - you know who you are!
Since the success of the last "Basingstoke PHers Pie And Drive" (where was the pie?) I have been pestered (in the nicest possible way) for another one.
And thanks to *Simont* and *whatever* (hurrah) here it is!
June 29th (Saturday) 12:00noon in the car park of an old Country Mansion (Worting House) on the edge of Basingstoke we'll gather for a photo-opportunity. Fancy a nice piccie of your car in front a proper Hampshire redbrick mansion? Now's your chance.
We then set off at about 1:15pm via a scenic route through rural Hampshire backroads to the village of Vernham Dean. Full route maps can be found below but hopefully you shouldn't need them as we intend to travel in convoy again!
When we arrive at about 2:00 to 2:15pm group parking at the fete has been organised. The cars will be one of the fete attractions! There will be BBQ/Hog Roast and range of country entertainments on offer. I'm bringing along a couple of chairs, a little table and lashings and lashings of ginger beer - or something like that anyway!
.
For those that fancy a beer Vernham Dean has the George.
When the entertainments of the fete begin to pale we can once again scatter to the four winds with only the fading sounds of rumbling engines to mark our passing.
Full details can be found here:

If any arrangements need to be updated I will post them on this thread.
So. You came to last one. Will you come to this one? Simont, whatever and I are sticking our necks out again so please, please come along. You'll have a good time. I promise.

Bugger!
Came to the last one indeed and what a fun day it was. I will be (looking at the weather) up to my knees in mud in a field with 130,000 other like minded individuals on that date
For those who are considering going but didnt go to the last one I can highly recommend going. The Basingstoke crowd are a top laugh and the countryside is marvellous.
Have a top time!

Oh. I have sent out a few e-mails to people who came along last time. If I've missed you please don't be offended - perhaps your profile doesn't enable e-mails or you'd already posted here etc etc.
Just making sure anyone who might want to come has the opportunity.
All the best to everyone. Hope to see you there!

Cool. If you follow the web-links from the original post or these ones they'll take you to a few web-pages I sorted out which describe the Start Point and also the route in a lot of detail.

By the way. Could everyone use our Event Listing thingy that Ted gave us. Then we'll know whose coming and how many cars to do parking for...

Another 'Bugger - can't make it' I am afraid, but will be there for #3, honest. (Don't forget our offer of helping to scout out a future trip with you!)
Who is going to Chatsworth from sunny Hampshire? We were hoping to fizz up there, but may have to put a stop on that, it just depends if I am happy that the petrol smell ad damp boot carpet from last weekend was the result of my over exhuberant trigger finger on the pump when filling up or something more serious.
Have fun
