Well the first New Forest meet took place on a lovely day in December 2008, so the 29th November will be not only our Christmas event, but our first birthday celebration too.

We are starting our day at the Green Dragon at Brook (that is the place marked on the event location map) at approx 10am and moving off for our tour of the forest (kindly organised by Mark and Kirsty aka Yellowluigi) at 10:30.

We will stop for a scenic photo shoot (of the cars!) and we will finish up at the Alice Lisle pub where we have a table booked provisionally for 12:30 for 15-20 people.

We regularly get over 10 cars and around 20-25 owners. Many of us have come to every meet and others just come when it suits them.

This is the first time we have visited the Alice Lisle, near Ringwood, but it comes highly recommended If you can't meet for the whole event, but would like to join us for lunch and a chat, you are very welcome.

It would be lovely to see an Arbarth, a byDiesel and a 500c amongst our numbers and we have yet to clap eyes on a Crossover Black, Cha Cha Blue, Silver (can't remember the proper name!), Punk Grey or New Orleans blue - infact it would be brilliant to try and get one of each colour this time round.

Please let us know if you can join us and post a quick note to tell us what colour your 500 is and don't forget to sign in at the top!

Looking forward to see you there

yes Mel, it does say it in the header for the event, but I will add it into the body too.

"scratched", what happened?

Really looking forward to NFM4!

Heidi, are you bringing your toddler? I might bring mine if you do... and hubby if he can bear us

Re: New Forest Meet 4

in financial terms a squashed husband is probably worth more than a scratched car!! but that's a bit harsh isn't it

glad everyone is OK

Re: New Forest Meet 4

My son has a swimming lesson at 10.30am on a sunday which I have to take him to, so I may only make it for the lunch - would that still be okay?

Still no supposed to be driving in the dark at the moment (if ever) so I may have to be a plum & miss this one (again)
