SUMMARY:Solent & Neighbouring Area Beach BBQ – Wednesday 16th July 2025
DESCRIPTION:Hi Everyone\, \nWith July fast approaching\, it seems only fitting to provide details for the “Solent MX5 Beach BBQ 2025” – it’s got sizzle! ? \nAs per our Solent Area Programme for 2025\, this event is being held on the evening of Wednesday 16th July 2025\,  especially with the evening should still be reasonably long at this time of year\, so we get to sit and relax on the beach to chat and partake in convivial chatter ? \nWe will meet at Rownhams Services\,  M27 Westbound\,  as there is plenty of parking there for us to gather and toilets facilties are available in the services\, from 18:00 onwards\, ready for a swift departure at 1830! \nWe will then drive in convoy down the A326\, so we can swing into Morrisons\, Spruce Drive\, Totton\, Southampton SO40 8AD\, to pick up those travelling for the West\, or who live closer to the Morrisons Superstore? \nWe will then proceed to to Calshot Beach and park in our normal area by the beach huts\, adjacent to the toilet facilities there. Unfortunately\, parking charges now apply at Calshot Beach\, since 2023 and in 2024 they removed the £3 for 3 Hours option? so we will sadly be lumbered with a £4 charge per MX-5 for parking\, which is ludicrous for the relatively short time we will be there but the saving grace is that the machines accept payment by the RINGO APP and it’s a great venue for our Beach BBQ\, with WC facilities close by ? \nPlease note we did investigate other possible beach venues in 2024 that don’t charge for parking after 6pm\, such as Hayling Island and East Beach\, Selsey but sadly they have all jumped on the bandwagon and imposed evening charges now ? \n***Please confirm your attendance by replying to the forum post for ease of admin and state which location you wish to rendevous at\,  so we can gauge numbers and know who to expect for the drive! *** \nIf you cannot make the drive start time\, please drive straight to Calshot but please let us know via the forum that you are doing so. The location is given in the screen grab below and we park in the Calshot Beach Car Park\, which has great views of the Solent at Ships that happen to be passing by at the time ?️ \nOur destination is what3words – cadet.backyards.spiking \nPlease remember to bring your own Portable BBQ\, or Gas Stove and food of your choosing\, together with any drink\, tea\, coffee or other favourite tipple. \nThe owners club stopped paying for the BBQ’s a few years back\, so we have to buy our own portable BBQ’s but they can be obtained very cheaply at various budget High Street outlets and it is a great sociable evening and if the weather is anything like it has been recently\, it will be a fantastic evening – we have our fingers crossed ??? \nFor those that have not been before we drive to the Calshot Beach and set up camp on the beach with either deckchairs or blankets to sit on and then proceed to burn perfectly good sausages and burgers! ? \nWhen we have watched the ships go by\, partaken in friendly chatter and hopefully watched the sun go down\, we then drive home at dusk – “Perfick” as Pop Larkin would say ??? \nAs before Small Gas BBQ’s\, or stoves are best\, as they dont have the same fire risk issues and the nause of having to fully extinguishing them and dispose of them at the end of the night!  However\, New Forest Council had installed Fire Resistant BBQ Disposal Points last year\, so all is good on this front. \nNB: If you google Calshot and the use of BBQ’s\, they say “small private BBQ’s are permitted but Charcoal BBQ’s must be raised of the ground to avoid damage or fire risk to vegetation”. The beach is pebbles so this does not really to us\, but for campers using the grass area at the rear of the beach. \nWe look forward to seeing you on the night. \nBest Regards \nTeam Solent \n

SUMMARY:Solent – MX-5’s on The Boardwalk\, Port Solent
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\, \nJoin us for another great evening on The Boardwalk at Port Solent\, where for the past few years we have displayed our MX-5’s in all their glory and also partaken in a lovely meal in Wildwood (Discounted ?). \nJason\, who runs this event\, has allocated us the whole Waterfront Area and it is for the sole use of Solent Area MX5OC Members only\, so the area by Wildwood\, Port Solent. This is better defined in the screen grab pasted below and highlighted\, by Jason in Light Blue\, which is Brilliant.  \n  \n\n \nimage797×599 90.8 KB\n\n  \nJason has had 30 Ferraris parked in this area in the past\, so there would be room in the blue highlighted area for at least 30 to 35 MX5’s\, parked sensibly\, so we should fit fairly easily  \nThe plan is to have Terry and I parked down at the Waterfront\, with the Solent Area Flag and to be joined by a good selection of MX5’s across the model range\, i.e. Mk1\, Mk2/2\,5\, Mk3/3.5/3.75 and Mk4’s for the public to view. \nPlaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis and we will need a couple of Marshalls (please voulnteer if you can possibly help with this) to ensure that only Solent Area Members enter the Blue Highlighted Area\, as others will have to park in the main car park. \nIf you wish to come along to this event and park by the Waterfront\, please respond to the Forum Post soonest and book your place and you and your MX5 will be placed on our list\, on a first come first served basis\, which is in Post#1 on the forum. \nI will be collecting a £1 minimum\, from each MX-5 to go towards giving the Marshalls a drink for their efforts on the night\, so raid those Piggy Banks before attending? \nThe important thing to remember\, is that once parked for 19:00\, cars will not be allowed to move on Public Safety safety grounds\, until after 21:00. So\, members will need to ensure they are happy to stay past 21:00 and Jason will be there to ensure this rule is strictly adhered to on safety grounds. \nPlease aim to be at Port Solent for 18:00 in good time for Jason to guide us in and direct us to the assigned parking area\nFinally\, the important thing to remember\, is that once parked for 19:00\, cars will not be allowed to move on Public Safety safety grounds\, until after 21:00.

I can always increase the numbers based on take up for this event
