There must be somewhere localish to the burger place surely ???

To be honest Steve, I'm more interested in the photographic qualities than the distance...

One of the Forts on Portsdown hill is Fort Nelson owned by the Royal Armouries this is well worth a visit, I believe they allow car clubs to take their vehicles in to the fort. and its 5 mins from the burger van.

[spook]

[Gortour]

Good shout David. Brilliant.
This meet really is gonna be something special I reckon.
Well done guys.

We need to keep it simple on the day methinks, meet, arrange, get to Porchester and pay our respects.

David a brilliant idea and one perhaps you could follow up ?

Would be a great venue for a next Portsmouth meet, mind you dont think Spook would like the culture, Gordon would be looking for tunnels to play in (strange types those Dorset creatures).

[gaszman]

sounds good guys sorry mi idea didnt workout but i tried will meet at rownhams to gor on the way from me anyway what time do you recon mate

[spook]

keep it simple? sounds like a west ham team talk,
agreed, lets keep it as above

[gaszman]

so whats happining then on sunday meet up the decide or are we pre planning the photo op

[HartgeH27]

Gaszman your call.

I have been in touch with TBMW and the local press.

Your shout though G...................

Time and locations are yours to finalise, go for it !

[gaszman]

so meet gor on the way then head to burger bar for 2pm then of to ? will finalise with every body later . i could go to the castle and see what the car parks like on the day or just take some police no parking cones down and seal of the car park and sod them all

[HartgeH27]

Perhaps enlist Hongkongfuey to assist you ?

So 2pm at Micks Monster Burgers - depart at 2.45 ?

Porchester Castle at 3.15 approximately ?

Whats the arrangements for the Castle and a plan B ?

Line up for a shoot with Sheila (Malcs wife for a good shot which she can cherish).

Disperse and either depart or meet back at the Churchillian Pub (across the road from Micks Monster Burgers) for a debrief ?

Your call Gaszman !

[gaszman]

no arrangements at castle blown out im sorry to say they wont let us ( without paying lots ) drive through and park or even park on the grass out side so its the car park only some pompy guys are searching for somewhere close but i will peel of and look at the car park before going to the burger van ok guys

[spook]

sounds good to me gazman

[Gortour]

Lisa and Paul have just asked if there was anywhere localish that Malc particularly liked.
Maybe you could ask Sheila for us Iain. Would be nice to pay respects somewhere Malc loved. I'd like to think it would be more special to Sheila too.
Good call Lisa and Paul...

[spook]

portchester castle gordon

[suchy]

To be honest Steve, I'm more interested in the photographic qualities than the distance...

I'm thinking on it... You have Titchfield Abbey nr Fareham which although smaller is better looking than Porchy Castle and I've never encountered guardians there and there would be plenty of space for 30 cars if we positioned them. You could cruise from the Viewpoint (burger heaven) down the back of the hill on the Wickham road (lovely cruising road) until Wickham and get to Titchfield Abbey that way (down the A32 to Fareham and head for Titchfield)
I'm thinking bout best photo shoot oportunity
I'll see what other ideas I can come up with.........

[gaszman]

sounds good will drive over tomorrow night after work to check that out good call

[spook]

but tichfields got a S O post code

[suchy]

drive down the lane (not v.far) and it's on your left opposite a pub so watch out for the opening coz u could miss it

[hongkongfuey]

to the pompey lot what about the lido its big enough and a back drop of trees and a moat

[Gortour]

portchester castle gordon

All the more reason to gatecrash the place then Spook.
Thought it was just picked as a nice place for photos etc... Didn't realise it was picked as a "Malc's favourite place"...

If that's where Malc loved, that's where we're going. Whether they like it or not. Sure we can get a few photos taken and leg it before the cops arrive.

[spook]

ah ha the lido, right on my doorstep and i didnt even think of it, great location, art deco blah blah, goood shout

[hongkongfuey]

also lido car park is flat and free
