International Midget Day - 12th June 2011
*** NEXT EVENT - TWYFORD WATER WORKS - 5TH SEPTEMBER
Quay for my car - Poole Quay 
Going back to a chance meeting with Dorset and the decision to exchange newsletters. Om receiving theirs' an event caught our eye. Apparently every Friday evening throughout the summer, cars are invited to park up along the quay and this particular week happened to be for open-topped sports cars.

John & Vic and Barry & Jenny decided to make a day of it, and after a lovely drive through the New Forest (thank you Chris for the route) we arrived in Sandbanks in time for lunch. We moved on to Poole in the afternoon
 
where we met up with Ken.

It was a great atmosphere with numerous cars parked all along the quay; attracting a mass of visitors who had come to wander among the cars and visit the pavement bars and cafes which were full of families enjoying the spectacle in the evening sunshine.

An event to be recommended but it makes for a long day. We arrived home at 12.40am (yes that's right) having left at around 9.00 in the morning, but worth it we think
 
Four cars met up in Romsey to complete the journey to join the Dorset are at their annual fund raising event at Kingston Lacy. After a lovely ride through the New Forest we arrived in bright sunshine to join up with Robin and Anne and Ken, plus around 80 other cars  
in the grounds of this National Trust property just outside Wimbourne Minster. We spent a most enjoyable day looking around and meeting up once again with some of the skittle opponents from Somerset. Thank You Dorset.

The event organiser had grouped us with the Dorset area which provved to be a great opportunity to socialise and swap ideas. By the time we had left for home we had decided to exchange newsletters and confirmed our intention to meet them at their Kingston Lacy event in June. (See Below)

HOT! Hot! Hot! - Thank goodness again for our gazebo - I think it saved us all from sun stroke, and as an added bonus, we were able to pitch it right next to the show ring, so we could sit in comfort and be entertained at the same time. We were also visited by several people who enquired about the club and our activities, or was it just to get out of the sun? Either way we got to talk to some interesting people who gave us their details so that they could receive our Newsletters, and we would like to think that we may see them at one of our monthly meetings some time soon.

As well as the usual suspects and their cars, Pete and Lou were there with the Burrell; a very large steam traction engine and in the evening we all gathered together for our dinner, which had been cooked in the smoke box. The menu consisted of Lamb Hotpot, Jacket Potatoes & Rosted Vegetables followed by Fruit Crumble and Custard - our compliments to the chef!
