This is a plan to meetup en route to the Simply Japanese event.

We will be starting at Polegate Cophall roundabout petrol station at 05:30 and using the A27/M27 corridor to go to the Tesco in Applemore on the edge of the New Forest. This has a large car park to meet more members of the club coming from other parts of the country, it also has a petrol station. The store won't be open as its a sunday so no need to worry about parking. In recent years other clubs have started to use this as a meeting point; the supra club, the subaru, the 350Z club to name but a few. It ends up being a small mini car meet before we drive over to Beaulieu in convoy.

The drive is two hours from Polegate to Applemore, so should get there around 7.30 to allow 30-45 minutes before driving over to Beaulieu and joining the queue when they allow access at 08:30.

If you want to meet up along the route (A27/M27) let me know, I can create a whatsapp group and share my location while I'm driving so you can track our progress and catch up to us. I do not touch my phone while driving, so once we have left, I will be uncontactable until we reach Applemore.

A few rules:

• Tesco have never stopped us from using their car park or complained, as it is a great meeting point with petrol on tap we don't want to lose it, so please, no donuts, burnouts, etc.
• The New Forest has wild animals, ponies, horses, deer, rabbits, honey badgers... please follow all speed limits and refrain from being silly
• Inside Beaulieu, once parked up, please leave engines off. They have neighbours and need to keep the noise to a minimum.

 

I have no idea if we have a club stand this year, would anyone of the committee be able to confirm? @JaiKai@RichardS@Gaz 300 @AndrewG

 

Hopefully see you all there!

 

 

We don't have an official club stand - mainly due to the previous covid-situation, the (initial) limited number of tickets released for the event and the general uncertainty as to whether Simply Japanese would happen.... And now that more tickets have been released, we still don't know how many members will attend.

That said, it's not too late - if we can evaluate the number of attendees, not to mention all arrive together, then as a club, we can do it.

I am still 50/50 at the moment, but let's see...... Who's up for it?

I though so, hopefully next year we can have a stand and go back to normal!
