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 it is early notice 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.
We will update the venue on our numbers nearer the time but in the meantime, if you let us know if you are likely to attend this event, we will compile a list and then send out a menu for you to pre-order your meals.
Please note: The menu on the website is likely to change in the spring, so will not necessarily be the same is the one currently shown!
Best Regards
The Solent Team
