Mini meet in Dorset early September

dawkinsrover · 15th April 2007, 11:53

Hi guys,
Have recently become a member and would like to be actively involved! I live very near to Upton Country Park nr Hamworthy in Poole, a great place, with lovely walks etc. What about a meet in September? The summer is very busy for us all, but thought the weather may still be kind to us by then. There are a couple of great Rover specialists in the area and thought I may try to get them involved too!
I have contacted Upton House with the suggestion and await their reply, in the meantime, would love to hear from any members who would be interested, so that I could guage numbers.
Thanks guys
Dave Hill

Hi Dave,
Great idea i am sure there must be a few members round your end of the world that would pop along.

Good Luck

Have heard from Upton Country Park today and they will not allow a meeting of this type! Oh well, their loss!

Dave,

There must be some nice spots in the forest that we could use.... very surprised at Upton House, you would have thought these places would appreciate any publicity!

As Martin suggests, how about a meet at one of the New Forest Pubs......I'm up for that.

You are right, a good size car park with plenty of grass overspill.

A very popular pub.

I will take some shots of appropriate looking pubs when we next pass them and see what we all think, will be nice to have a good meet in the summer! Hopefully by then more of us southerners will have spotted this thread
