Next week am off to Devon and then Gibraltar for a wedding. On my return, weather pending i think we should sort out a meet-up for us Sussex, Hamp, and Surrey Members.
The choices are as follows
1. Whiteways
2. Boxhill
3. Loomies
Am starting with these as they are about an hour or so from the member's bases in the above areas.
Weekdays or weekends, Sat - Sunday?
Be great to get some pictures of the Clan

Weekdays rather than weekends, otherwise you won’t hear yourself think at any of those venues.
If you want to involve those members from Surrey I guess Boxhill is the best out of the three, but personally I’d prefer a non-biker venue myself.

Weekdays preferred for me, but only on dry, sunny days! Location not important (have bike, will ride).

You can also go to the Goodwood circuit cafe and watch rich poseurs driving around the track in their Porsches…
