Movember MX-5 Madness Charity Run 16/11/2025

Novembers run is a 70 mile drive through the Pennines, we are very pleased to have a very compact route with some stunning views of the area.

The run will start from Dearne Valley Farm Public House at Birdwell just off Junction 36 of the M1. We will meet at 09:00, the pub is open for breakfasts and hot drinks. After a brief drivers meeting, the 1st group to be leaving at 09:45.

There will be a halfway comfort break at the Pennine Garden Centre, at Shelley. This should be around 11:00-11:15, they have an excellent cafe and we expect to be there for an hour.

The second half will once again take us out on the backroads and we will finish the Run at the National Mining Museum, near Wakefield. This should be around 14:30.

We have taken the decision for this run to support the Mens Prostrate & Testicular Cancer Awareness Charity

For those of you who don’t know, Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues. As this may be a little short notice and not everyone will be able to grow the moustaches in time. We have have procured a number of false moustaches.

These will be on sale for a donation to the charity, we thought a £1 Cash minimum donation would be acceptable.

We would like to get as many people as possible to wear one on the day and help the charity.

Solent – A Daytime Drive on Wednesday 19th November, in the West Sussex Countryside to The Bluebell Inn, Dockenfield for lunch
2025-11-19 10:30 - 15:00 | The Bluebell Inn, Boundary Road, Dockenfield,, Farnham, Hampshire, GU10 4EX, United Kingdom
Hi Everyone,
Steve Wagg has suggested a drive to the Bluebell Inn, Dockenfield, which lies South of Farnham, between the A31 and A3.
Steve tried to book this venue for a Sunday drive but unfortunately the venue could not fit us in and given the venue does stunning food it gets very busy and parking would be an issue ?
However, the Landords are very nice people and would love to host Solent Area, So, have booked us in for a mid-week lunch and this decision has been taken, due to the fact that in the winter not many members wish to venture out in the dark to a venue, especially if the weather is inclement.
We have done a few lunchtime drives before (pre-covid) and they have proved very successful, so this one will test the water to see if there is an appetite for more lunchtime drives in the 2026 winter period?
Drive Details
Rendevous Point; Halfords/Hobbeycraft Car Park, Selbourne Rd, Havant PO9 1ND
What3Words: shared.ocean.paths
Rendevous Time; 10:30
Departure Time; 11:00 (prompt)
Arrival time at venue; 12:30 (approx) so a drive time of approx 1.5 Hours (39 miles).
Venue: The Bluebell Inn, Boundary Road, Farnham, GU10 4EX

The link was updated today (3rd October) as technical issues prevented members opening the drive route;
