SUMMARY:Solent – Sunday Drive finishing at Palmerston Bowling Club for Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Hi Everyone\, \nAs some of you know I play Lawn Bowls for “Meon Valley Bowling Club”\, Bishops Waltham but during the winter months\, when the green is closed\, I bowl at Palmerston Indoor Bowling Club\, Fareham. \nAt Palmerston there is a great restaurant\, run by Debbie and her team\, who do wonderful food. I have been to several evening social events and the entertainment and food have been excellent  \nI have spoken to Debbie and have asked if she would be happy to host a group from Solent Area on the 1st February 2026 and she is totally happy and will allocate tables for our group. There is ample parking and you will love the facilities at Palmerston. \nThe menu\, which I know will be good\, will not be available until nearer the time and I will post it on this thread when it does become available but I need to give Debbie and idea of our numbers. \nSo\, if you fancy an hour or so’s drive on the 1st Feb followed by a Sunday lunch at reasonable cost\, in convivial surroundings\, please reply to this post to confirm your attendance and I will add you to the attendees list.

SUMMARY:Solent – Greyshott Pottery for lunch and tour on Wednesday 18th March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hi Everyone\, \nPatricia & John have come up with  a return visit\, that we last did back in 2021 to Greyshott Pottery\, up near Hindhead. \nSerena and I visited the pottery on 11th January\, with Patricia  & John to have a cup of tea and final scoping meeting with the Pottery Manager (Toby) and Cafe Manager (Sue) and they have allocated us the conservatory for us to use for lunch\, before the tours commence. I say tours\, as each group will be 6 or 7 people and we hope to have about 12 to 18 members attending ? \nVisit Details; \nDate: Wednesday 18th March 2026 \nThe visit will be preceded by a drive\, from Ria’s Cafe\, Waltham Chase\, which is in the final stages of finalising and will then be posted of the forum for you to download\, complete with timings. \nIf members wish to drive direct to Greyshott Pottery\, that is fine but please let us know by replying on the forum as to whether you are going direct to The Pottery\, or meeting at Ria’s Cafe\, Waltham Chase (What3Words: freezers.highs.dished)\, so we know who we are expecting on the day\, noting that once the departure time has been set we will not wait\, as we need to be a Greyshott on time for lunch at 12:45 prompt. \nRedezvous Time: 10:15 \nDeparture Time: 11:30 prompt \nSue (Cafe Manager) said she does not require pre-orders as she usually has everything and all food is freshly prepared. \nYou will all be pleased to hear that pre-payment is not required\, which is great and makes life simpler for us\, so on the day\, you just choose what you would like and order and pay at the counter. However\, a menu is provided on the forum post\, so you can see what your options are ? \nAs previously mentioned\, tours will be in groups of 6 or 7 people and start at approx 2pm to 2:30pm. \nEach tour will take 15 to 20 minutes and members are invited to sit and have tea or coffee in the conservatory (Photo given below)\, which is very comfortable\, and heated by Infrared Heaters\, I had to take my jumper off during our visit\, as it was roasting🥵 \nWe will be handing round a sweet container during lunch\, for donations to the Cafe staff and also to The Pottery\, as they have a charity they support\, so please be sure to bring some tip monies with you on the day? \nAfter lunch and the tours\, members can walk around the lovely shop and peruse the shelves and buy some of the nice pottery there\, as desired. \nPlease respond to the Forum Post to confirm your attendance – we look forward to seeing you on the day. \nBest Regards \nPatricia\, John  & Team Solent \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Solent – Laon Historique Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hi Everyone\, \nJoin us in May 2026 for Laon Historique 35 – celebrating 35 years of Laon Historique. \nWe have particiapted in this great event three times before\, in 2016\, 2017 and post covid in 2022 and had a great time. By kind invitation of Scenic & Continental Car Tours\, we have invited us to attend Laon Historique from 22nd May to Monday 25th May 2026 in order to celebrate 35 years of this wonderful event. \nThree of us have already signed up already and paid our deposits and are going\, via Eurotunnel and staying in the IBIS Laon. SCCT are offering us\, as MX5OC members and Veterans of Laon Historique a £60/car discount if referred by us\, so if you phone them\, mention Solent Area of the MX-5 Owners Club and they will apply the discount to your booking. \nDue to the early Eurotunnel departure on Friday 22nd May (08:50) we are driving down the day before and will probably stop off at Bodium Castle on route\, and stay in the Premier Inn\, Cherry Gardens\, Folkstone\, the previous night. \nThe rate is currently £95 for a room and unfortunately\, SCCT do not have an agreement with Premier Inn\, so no discount was available and this rate is without breakfast\, that can be cancelled up to 24 hours before. We will get breakfast in France\, once we have cleared Calais ? \nThe contact details are; \nJames Wickenden\nSales and Operations Manager\nDirect Telephone: 01732 879171 \nPS: You may get hold of Katie or Brem\, if James is busy elsewhere\, but they are also very helpful and will sort your booking for you. \nAs a member you will need to state to SCCT that you are an MX5OC member and the area you belong to and that you have been referred by us and they will sort the rest.  \n***IMPORTANT*** Once booked\, please email us on; solent @mx5oc.co.uk\, so we can track numbers joining us for on this trip? \nBest Regards \nTeam Solent (Mal\, Serena\, Terry & Diane) ?
