Midget & Sprite Club - Hampshire Chapter
*** NEXT EVENT - WOODCOTE RALLY - 11/12th July ***
Barry said "Let's have another "Open Day" on Drive it Day this time. And lets find somewhere better than last time please - just in case we get loads of cars". The Fox and Goose at Greywell has a field behind it and having been there for a meal, we knew both the food and beer were good. And then the Landlord actually said yes!
"Nice venue, nice drive, pity about the locals! (I think he means us - ed). Great do it again please!"
John Clark - Kent
Barry designed the posters, and we started to send emails out to both the Hampshire Chapter, and all the regional reps. Advertising in Mascot was a must, but we also tried elsewhere. The goal was to beat the 24 cars we got two years ago.We had the hoped for break in the weather and arrived to set up our rather knackered gazebo early, then waited …
"Smashing day, lets do it annually at least!"
Jeremy Cogman
Chris turned up with the regalia, which was put out, and the trickle started. Pictures are worth far more than I can write here (and probably take up less room!), so here goes:
Afterwards we were all invited to see a collection of Bugatti's belonging to Julien, a friend of Hils and Pete. Thanks for including us all.
"Great day. Good to meet you all"
Andy & Tracy
Thank you to everyone who came along, we all enjoyed it, and if the comments in the visitors book are anything to go by - we may even do it again next year!
"Nice sunny day! - met lots of old friends. Well organised, and a great venue. Let us know when you do it again."
Steve & Sue Clark
By the way - the count was 36 cars and a Burrell traction engine (now, how many regions can boast their own steam section?). Thanks again. If we do do it again, we will have another target though!
"A nice relaxing day in the sun, thanks"
David & Linda Southcott
Oh, and by the way - we've decided that we liked the pub so much - we're moving the monthly meeting there. (See Future Events)

This was the first year we had a club stand at this show and Andy Brennan from Wiltshire and Duncan Hughes and his family from Andover joined the usual gang and we (or the cars) attracted a lot of interest. It was great to see some new faces and we are always happy to receive visitors to any of our events.
Monday 4th May and we are off to Popham Airfield for the annual car and aero show. It was bright as we set off from home but the cloud thickened throughout the day and a cold wind got up. It didn't rain (hardly) and the gazebo didn't blow away (this time).

When breakfast is a Walnut Whip and the instructions for lunch begin with; 1. Light fire in the 12 ton McLaren 8hp traction engine, you know you are in for an interesting weekend. Hampshire spent the weekend at the Bill Targett Steam Rally nr Winchester.
Bank holiday Monday and the forecast is thunder storms (nothing new there then). We have been invited to join the Haslemere twinning celebrations, which included a 50 mile road run taking in a stop at Goodwood and the promise of a drive around the track.
