2011 AGM

We have arranged to have the meeting at the Cricketers Arms at Tangley ( www.cricketers.eu ).
This is about 250 yards from the site for the afternoon's playtime. So, the details are as follows:

Meet 10 a.m. onwards Sunday 2nd October at the Cricketers Arms Tangley.
 Meeting starts 11 a.m.
Buffet at 12.30-1.00 p.m.
Briefing of afternoon activities then move to the Prodrive site 1.30 to 2.00 p.m.

We are currently trying  organise some off roading on the Saturday, but the details of this will be posted  later.

The Cricketers Arms, Tangley, Andover, Hampshire, SP11 0SH – tel: 01264 730283

How to find us….

From A303 / Andover:
Leave the A303 following signs for A342 (Marlborough). Continue on the A342 towards Weyhill turning right by the church signed to ‘Clanville and Vernham Dean’. Proceed over the next crossroad and stay on this road, through Clanville and past the crossroads signed ‘The Chutes’ (left) and ‘Tangley’ (right). Take the next turning right, just after two cottages, signed ‘The Cricketers and Home Farm Tangley’, up the hill and The Cricketers will be found on the left as the road bears sharp right.

From Newbury / M4:
Leave the M4 at Junction 13 and continue on the A34. Take the exit signed ‘A343 Wash Common and Highclere’. At the roundabout turn right and stay on the A343 passing through Highclere and Hurstbourne Tarrant. At the top of the steep hill out of Hurstbourne Tarrant, turn right signed ‘Tangley and the Chutes’. Continue on this road, go over the next crossroads and keep going until you come to the War Memorial. Go straight over, follow the road round to the right and The Cricketers will be right in front of you.

Saturday  @ 11am

Re: 2011 AGM Sunday 2nd October

If there is still some activity happening on Saturday 1st then I will attend that as I live in Andover only a few miles from Tangley, and if there is driving on or off-road it will be great to join in. 
Unfortunately on the Sunday I will be competing in a round of the AWDC National trial contest at Slindon, so will be unable to attend the actual AGM.

I think the Bing Map URL was pointing to Sheffield, try the following instead:

I am still trying to wangle logistics and actually make one of these meets.

Re: 2011 AGM Sunday 2nd October

Bugger - family chauffeur duties mean I have to go to Aylesbury on Sunday, 8am start to 6pm.

I'd rather be G'ing and buying some nice bits if anyone takes stuff along.  I am sure I will meet some of you on another day though.

Re: 2011 AGM Sunday 2nd October

Am only going to be able to come along on Sunday. Ironically am going to be 3 miles from the pub on Friday night at Essebourne Manor hotel, but have to get back for a memorial service, so coming out again in the G on Sunday.
Is anything happening on the Sunday?

 Not everyone, those who are not members must bring packed lunch, don't want them eating my share, and possibly seconds, of the buffet!

Re: 2011 AGM Sunday 2nd October

 Yea

Agm = boring
Buffet = nom nom nom nom
Off roading = a laugh, watching all those 4x4 owners not having a clue what to do.

Bet your looking forward to meeting me !

Re: 2011 AGM Sunday 2nd October

I have to admit, the L200 has so far been unstoppable in snow and dodgy conditions. We have been through three foot of snow in fields doing hay runs for sheep and it did it no problem. Also took it to Dorset to look at and buy the G. The only reason it was still there after 2 weeks on Pistonheads, was that no-one had managed to get to their farm to look at it because of the weather. We managed it. So I have no complaints about our L200.
Hair dryer indeed!!

Re: 2011 AGM Sunday 2nd October

Thank you all who turned up.  I hope you all enjoyed the weekend as much as I did.   Prizewinners were Helen and John Friend (I hope you've got your prize by now John).  I'm back in the cold and wet, and it feels like midwinter after Sunday's heat.   The RAC did a pslendid job recovering our only mechanical casualty, as Rakesh didn't bring his overalls, spares and toolkit
Best wishes, Tim

Re: 2011 AGM Sunday 2nd October

I would like to add my thanks to all who organised and turned up and made me feel welcome ( even after my minor sat-nav / ground clerance related incident). Thourghly good afternoon on Sunday and i wish i had more time to attend on the Saturday.

Big thanks to the people who gave me a ride around which saved me the embarasment of not having a clue what to do.

My only complaint was a lack of show and shine as the quality of my G out shone the rest by a country mile, even thou it was  the oldest there.
