Hi Southern Softies! I'm in a bit of a pickle... The last Southern Softies Meet went quite well for a 1st attempt and it's time to have another go. Here's the dilemma, I'm planning to attend the next Essex meet on the 19th, as are some other softies. Anybody have any ideas for an alternative date/location? I should add, I'm meeting little heard-of member "Vinto" on saturday afternoon if anybody wants to join us? All are welcome :) Over to you...
following with interest :)
Judge had an idea of meeting in portsmouth, quite easy for everybody to get to, plus there's loads of great spots to get some nice pics of the cars (especially on top of the south downs over looking harbour and spinnaker tower) and some places to eat as well quite cheaply.
the dogging spot on Portsdown hill? Tea,coffee,burger van...any good? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=portsdown+hill&hl=en&ll=50.854993,-1.081794&spn=0.001209,0.004823&hnear=Portsdown+Hill&gl=uk&sqi=2&t=h&layer=c&cbll=50.854995,-1.081792&panoid=2DeDInSDXvezxmQ0bOhONA&cbp=11,348.27,,0,6.41&z=18
Ok, sounds good. Any ideas for a date?
LOL when i moved to portsmouth i couldn't remember its name, so just referred to it as "dog hill" Im busy this weekend and next is essex so after that i guess.

[quote=martinrpeachey;458184]Essex is the weekend after mate ;) 19th[/quote] How about the 26th Feb then?
Ummm that's my birthday :) don't think I'll be allowed out to play lol.
what date do YOU have in mind?
11th, 12th, 25th? I'm getting the feeling I may have to miss something, somewhere, may be the Essex meet as I've pulled a few favors with Mrs.MRP to get the car for the HLM RR day in March.
I can do any weekend except this, you lot know when the essex one is so it can't be that one, even if i have the kids i can make it as i live on dog hill (near enough).
19th Feb Mid Day Dick Turpin Pub :pimp2: Mas

Luton is a bit of a trek, what about Portsmouth, then guildford then bournemouth, so we can car share. Luton is as far as Essex near enough, I go to Dunstable every 6 weeks or so

Well I didn't take any photos, but it was an excellent location for a meet(even if it was three blokes at a place known as dogging hill).. The pub looked like it did some half decent food... Cheers guys, see you for a shandy next month!
3 guys flashing their lights on dogging hill! (that's another story lol)
A few pics...
