plodster Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Hi all, I'm putting together a meet at Bovington Tank Museum (BH20 6JG) for the morning of 25th Feb (time TBC) and then if enough interest a drive on to the coast, perhaps Lulworth or similar in the afternoon. An adult ticket to the museum is £12.00 and can be used for 12 months to visit as many times as you like! The Battlegroup Afganistan exhibition is still very active and shows much of the modern equipment used in the armed forces today. Let's get names on the list and get this one busy! 1. Plodster 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

plodster Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 Hi all, Due to popular consensus, this event has been moved to Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton on March 11th. I plan on holding a meet at Bovington later in the year, perhaps around Tank Fest or something so PM me if anyone is keen, or keen to see any other meets in the Dorset area...... Peter
spect Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Nice one mate, maybe we can do a recce down there sometime before that? See if we can get a group discount or summat. I could do with seeing the Afghan display. I think I am still free on the 25th.
plodster Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah that sounds like a plan.... 25th still free I think for me so perhaps something we should do. The Afghan display is pretty good, it's where the old Cold War bit used to be, tucked off to one side there. Not the biggest display in the world but they have to be careful showing too much kit still in service!
spect Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 ok, sounds good to me. Maybe my daughter will come along from Bournemouth too.
plodster Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Sounds pretty good to me, anyone else up for popping up to this one?
spect Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 1. Plodster 2. Spec_T 3. Cap'n Jerry and Diane 4. 5. 6. 7.
plodster Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 So, the next question is, what time?
spect Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 How about 11am at the Shell Garage, A35 Roundabout at Bere Regis? Then we can convoy down from there.
plodster Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah that could work for me, coming from Shaftesbury way so I can cut across to meet there. Gotta be back in the afternoon but should have time for a chat and wonder, and a coffee of course!
spect Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Mate, just checked my planner and it reckons 2 hours to get there so I am guessing we will be at the garage an hour later at 12, is that still ok?
plodster Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 I'll give you a buzz at some point this afternoon but yeah, 12 is fine by me.
spect Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 In case anyone else wants to meet us: We are leaving Exeter (Black Horse Pub, Clyst Honiton) at 09.30 Travelling along A30 to Honiton then heading along the A35 to the Bere Regis roundabout, getting there around 11.30. We will stay there till 11.45 then down to the museum at Bovington. We will be there around 2-3 hours I suppose. Hopefully we will see some more of you join us along the way. The first two cars are a blue blob STi and a blue Hawk WRX.
spect Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 well do not take too long as you are getting the coffees in!!
jd Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 ok then next boat leaves here at 20:15 and arrives at Poole 23:15 say 30 hour from ferry to museum see you there about midnight then...............................oh bugger, need to fix oil leak in scoob first.
plodster Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Grab a canoe, we will pick you up when you make the mainland....
jd Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 that would take even longer...........and bugger that for a laugh
