(Adjusted for timezone: Europe/London)

WE NOW HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE FOREST (NO ROAD) ON A DEDICATED PATH THROUGH A NEIGHBOURING PROPERTY. THIS IS ON CONDITION THAT WE DO NOT TOUCH NOR FEED THE HORSES AND DOGS ARE ON A SHORT LEAD. THIS WAS VERY FAVOURABLY RECEIVED THIS YEAR (2022)

10am Friday - come and meet our new members - outside our van bring your own coffee/tea

The Happy Fryer will be there again on Saturday NOT Friday. Anyone need special diets please let me know by 2 weeks before, 8th July.

The meet is in a field, water, rubbish bins and toilet emptying. Please be hygiene mindful for you and others when you use the water, elsan and bins. NO FIRES, the area is very vulnerable, GAS BARBECUES ONLY supervised and off the ground.

Dogs are allowed on site but must be on a lead.

The nearest pub is now The Rosie Lea tea rooms, restaurant & bar, we will try and get a discount again. The Filly Inn is 1.1 miles up the road, the vineyard (see below) a bit further, The Red Lion is .8 mile down the road and The Fleur de Lys dating back to 1096 is a bit further on at 1.6 miles.

There is a security gate which has to be locked at night, arrivals strictly 10am (12am Thurs 20th) - 6pm. It would be helpful when you book if you could indicate how many nights you plan to stay and which day you plan to arrive.

The CAR BOOT sale on Sunday

Lymington to Yarmouth (IOW) ferry tickets info and timetable online

The New Forest Tour bus - will have prices/info at the meet

Lyndhurst can be a big bottleneck in the summer. If you are coming down on M27 take the exit for Fawley (but don't go to Fawley) and then follow the signs for Beaulieu (go extra slow there as there are often donkeys in the road) and then Brockenhurst which will take you to the A337 to Strawberry Fields. Beaulieu to Brockenhurst is quite narrow and winding, we get there ok in ours just over 7m.

Please let us know if you change your mind about attending, don't need to know why, to allow someone to take your place

STEWARD ON DUTY 10AM-8PM (12-8PM THURS) ANY ARRIVALS OUTSIDE OF THESE HOURS PLEASE PM ME TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS

Count us in Fitzy 5nights thank you

[CherryPirate]

Could we please join you all for all 5 nights?

 

[marchie]

Hi Sue & Martin,

We've managed to rearrange/defer hospital appointments for each of us [Season Ticket Holder perks ... ], so would like to book for all 5 nights, please. Can we sort Fish & Chip orders nearer the date [no special dietary requirements], please? We'll be travelling on from the Kelso Rally, so it's likely to be late afternoon when we arrive. I'll send a PM with my mobile number in case there are changes of arrangements whilst we are en route

Thanks

Steve & Elaine
