SOLENT AREA – A drive and visit to The Hampshire Hog, Clanfield for Supper on Wednesday 17th April 2024 @ The Hampshire Hog
Apr 17 @ 6:45 pm – 10:00 pm

HI Everyone,

A bit of time until we do this run in April, which will be our first drive after the clocks go forward, so this is an early “heads-up” of this one but the seeds of the event have been sown and a reservation for 15 to 20 people has been made, which can be updated to add more, as desired

Update as of 17th Feb: Serena and I visited the Hampshire Hog today and I spole to the Deputy Manager (Connor) to finalise details for our visit and he has allocated us the large dining area seperated from the main bar area, which is perfect for our needs. The food is absolutely excellent with very good staff and we hope you will enjoy the food and visit

We will update the venue on our numbers nearer the time but in the meantime to aid this process, please let us know if you are attending this event  and your meal choices and we will capture them for the venue to work to.

Please see the menu below and let us know your choices soonest and also please send a £5 deposit/head to PayPal A/C (malrowland21@gmail.com)

Mal’s tip of the day: The above PDF menu is on two pages, so once you have made your meal choices, if you wish to see the dessert choices then go to the bottom of the PDF file and click the “down arrow” to reveal page 2…..simples

Best Regards

Team Solent

SOLENT AREA – A drive and visit to Bill Rawles Classic Cars, Four Marks, Nr Alresford, on Saturday 11th May 2024 @ Rawles Classic Cars
May 11 all-day

Hi Everyone,

This one was recommended to me by our very own “Martin Down”, who visited the venue a little while back and said it was very good, so I kept it in my back pocket until now and have conversed with Jack Rawles, via email over the last few weeks and arranged this visit for us.

In order to fit in with the venues availability we have had to shift this event from the first Sunday in the month to the second Saturday in the month but if promises to be a good one and Jack says they will provide a great tour of what they do there and will provide free tea and coffee. I will provide a box of biscuits for you all to tuck into also

This is an early “Heads-Up” for the event and final details will be posted once we have confirmed timings with Jack and a suitable drive route to Bill Rawles Classic Cars, so keep an eye on this Calendar entry and the MX5OC Forum, nearer the time for further updates.

Best Regards

Mal
