Basingstoke Festival of Transport is on tomorrow at the War Memorial Park , Basingstoke, 11am to 4pm. Short notice I know but info may be of use to members close by.

GBS have invited our members to their open day on Saturday 6th June between 10am - 3pm at the GBS factory Maun Way, Broughton, Ollerton, Nottinghamshire. NG22 9ZD.

The same weekend they are holding a track day at Blyton Park.

Details at www.greatbritishsportscars.co.uk.

Is anybody in the Midlands going to this event?

If the weather is kind, then it could be a good day out on Saturday and the the hosts have offered a select area to show off the cars.

But this looks a very small (new) charity event on the 16th May.

Andi posted the event here: http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=41771

Any feedback appreciated as Nikki has emailed them and the hosts would like to know numbers (if there is any interest).

Very busy month for us --- we only have Tuesday the 12th & 19th open for an evening meet & no week-ends at all that are not already filled. Sorry.

If any other members of our band would like to suggest & run a meet please shout.

Once again folks, its time for our annual BBQ on our patch ( Nick thinks its called Hampshire )

Date is set for Friday/Sat/Sunday the 26/27/28th June & format will be similar to the previous 5 years.

Arrive when-ever on Friday ( if you can ) pitch camp -- pub meal in evening -- back home for drinks & natter around the fire.

Saturday - several tours round local villages with guest passengers -- cold buffet lunch ( veggies too ) -- make something from rubbish & sail/float/fly your creation.

Saturday evening BBQ for all plus music , drinks & natter.

Sunday - breakfast for all cooked on the coals outside -- wander round in circles -- pack up & go home when-ever.

You provide the alcohol -- we provide the food ( with help from our friends )

SUNSHINE has been booked -- don't let it go to waste.

Is there a meet this Wednesday if not what about next week?

Just wanted to say thanks from Lynn and Myself Making us feel welcome at our first RHOC event.

Sorry we did not camp in one way as we could have had a few drinks with you all later in the evening.but our hotel was very cosy and very dry and a well stocked expensive bar.

Thanks for the Hog Roast and thanks To all the committee.

Lunch burgers today was very nice.

Once again thanks to everyone

Hi all

Following the Midlands area meet tonight, a few of us are planning to meet at the malt shovel early for the all you can eat breakfast on Sunday before heading to Stoneleigh.

Breakfast starts at 8am! And then carry on as arranged by Richy.

See you bright and breezy.

If you're travelling to or are around Stoneleigh on Saturday 2nd May (prior to the shows start on Sunday) and have some free time, you might be interested in this (very) nearby event.

Essentially is planes and the website gives fuller details but it might be worth popping down for a look. The venue is lierally a stones throw from Stoneleigh (small stone, big arms).

Thanks to local member Steve49er for the heads up.
