The popular monthly Classic Car Meetings at the Cock & Bottle Public House, Morden, nr Wareham, are well under way. Vehicles usually start to arrive from 1830 and leave at dusk. Always worth a visit, to meet and chat with others. Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month. Next meeting Monday 7 July 2008

Sunday 13 th July - “Off to a Flying Start”. Meet at the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum (3 miles east of Chichester and is well signposted from the A27), to enter as a group at 11.00am for a discounted entry. Tangmere Military Aviation Museum was established in 1982 on the old RAF Tangmere airfield. From its beginnings in 1916, through its illustrious service as one of Britain's front line fighter bases during WW2 and on to its key role as home to the world speed record breaking aircraft of the High Speed Flight in the post war years it has occupied a unique place in aviation history. The museum contains countless fascinating exhibits. Here you can see priceless historic aircraft such as Neville Duke's world record breaking Hawker Hunter, actual equipment used by the brave SOE agents who were carried into occupied France on 'black Lysander' flights from Tangmere.There is something for all to see and do. Enjoy the Museum have a snack in the cafeteria and leave at 3.00pm for a scenic run with a route card supplied using the MOG 07 westerly run and then the A272 to Winchester and home. PLEASE NOTE - traffic on A27 will be busy due to Festival of Speed at Goodwood.

OTHER EVENTS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS FOR YOUR DIARY:

PLEASE NOTE that from 1 January 2008 we have changed the Friday evening noggins to a Thursday because pubs are becoming busier on Friday evenings and this has limited our choice. We will review the experiment in due course and would welcome feedback; however there will be some Friday evening noggins.
