New Year's day pub meets

[Ian Grace]

Anyone planning to go to any of these? I know Alister is planning on getting to Brooklands. There are plenty more up and down the country. These pub meets make an excellent venue to meet up - if anyone is planning to attend any of these, DO post here so others can plan to meet up. Fuller details of any of these meets on request. And remember to take your cameras!

Here is a brief and probably incomplete list:

Lancashire area - Briers Hall, Burscough
Surrey - The Barley Mow, West Horsley
Yorkshire - The Smiths Arms, Beckwithshaw
Cheshire - The Nag's Head, Haughton Moss
Oxfordshire - The Holt Hotel, Hopcroft's Holt near Steeple Aston
Lincolnshire - The Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa
Norfolk/Suffolk border - The Swan at Hoxney (venue for our East Anglians this autumn)
Herefordshire - The Royal Oak, Much Marcke (Bev Hicks' local!)
New Forest - The White Buck, Burley (Toby, are you going to this one?)

Will try to make the white buck, need to discuss with mrs Toby , will try to post photos if we go.

Vintage car owners in the South Oxon/North Berks might like to try the White Hart at Harwell Village, Oxfordshire.
I am usually the only pre-war Minor, but we get plenty of nice interesting vintage & PVT vehicles along!

Edited to add: Now moved to The Fox at Steventon. First Tuesday evening of the month!

And a happy motoring New Year to everyone - over 13 hours to go here.

What an inspiring clip. An English country lane, no traffic and a vintage Minor in full song - heaven!

[Toby]

The White Buck is a nice meet, not too crowded and an eclectic mix of stuff from '20's rollers to an allegro estate!



This GN shows the way forward with chains for all you ohc owners?

PS took a handful of membership forms but there were no minors at all! Lots of those 7s though!!!
