2025-02-09 09:45 - 16:00 | Sammy Millers Motorcycle Mueum, Bashley Cross Road,, New Milton, Hampshire, BH25 5SZ, United Kingdom
Dear All,
We received some requests from members to do another drive and visit to Sammy Millers Motorcycle Museum, as Terry’s drive route before was a very scenic route with some lovely MX-5 roads to drive on, via the New Forest ?
This is an early “heads up” for your Calendars/Diaries, so please keep a close eye on the forum for further details ?
Without more ado, we have been in contact with Sammy Millers Motorcycle Museum and Sharon (Museum Events Manager) has come back to me saying we are good to go for the 9th February and there is no restriction on numbers, as she will block off the bottom car park for our sole use. This would allow space for parking 35/40 MX-5’s?
Sharon has also confirmed that she has allocated us a “Group Discount” and set an Adult price of £10 per person, payable on the day via contactless payment!
Rendevous Point: The King Rufus, 135 Winchester Rd, Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh SO53 2DU
Rendevous Time: 09:45
Departure Time: 10:45/11:00
Arrival Time at Sammy Millers: 12:00 (Approx)
Below are the “Tulip Directions” for the route, for you to download and print off, as required?
Sammy Miller Drive Page 1
Sammy Miller Drive Page 2
The King Rufus opens it’s doors at 10:00am and the Manager has asked for pre orders, so please take a look at the menu given below and let us know you choices on the forum post and they will have them ready for us to eat promptly before the drive ??
King Rufus Breakfast Menu
Terry and Diane have just finished proving the route and are finalising the Tulip Symbols and we will post the Tulips on the forum, so members can download and print them off , as desired!
