Breakfast Meet 7/2/16

[ecain63]

Before I start, I am aware we already attend a breakfast meet in the New Forest a half dozen or so times a year. I have no intention of stepping on anybody's toes with this, just adding variation etc. Anyway, the proposition.....

I've been eating at the New Forest Inn in Emery Down for a while and was speaking to the head chef last week. We got talking about cars and to cut a long story short the chef and landlord would like to host a breakfast on the 7th of Feb with the intent that maybe we could continue it through the year. Those of you who have eaten or stayed at the New Forest Inn will probably agree the scran is pretty first rate with a very old fashioned and well turned out feel to the venue. They also do the best steak and ale pie i've ever eaten!

If we could gauge interest first that will give me some idea of attendance on the day. They will lay on breakfast and i'm told it will consist of proper local produce inc real meat sausages, locally sources bacon, eggs etc. They even make decent tea!

Timings are not nailed down yet but i've hinted at 9am or 10am depending on the preference of the masses. Parking consists of about 6 or 7 spaces out front and a car park around the side. There is also street parking along the road as per what lunch and dinner customers do.

I'll also put the feelers out to a couple of local automotive outlets to see if they want to attend with interesting stuff. I'll keep you posted if it looks like the event will go ahead.

Anyway, add below if you can make it and I'll elaborate on details as we go.

Parking is the same as we had at Crown Stirrup so it's not a downscale event

Sounds good, although I'm between cars right now so only my daily-driver at this time.

Bring the family along as well mate. More than welcome. I'm bringing Claire and Fraser.

Just back from lunch at the Inn.

Prices for breakfast are:

£7.99 for full English breakfast. Proper sausages, locally sourced produce etc.

£2.50 for tea / coffee.

Or....

£9.99 for full English with unlimited tea / coffee and toast.

Certainly cheaper than your Goodwood greasy wagon bap!

Excellent. Looks a good start. Be good to have you along Clarky.

Looks like it'll be a decent turnout already. I plan to put a word out to a couple of local auto outlets this week to see if they would like to attend with something interesting. I'll post up details if i get anything lined up,

The Crown Stirrup often run a brekkie meet, a meet which i attend from time to time. On top of that there are weekday evening meets at pubs across the south coast. There's normally a thread on the forum when a meet is coming up.

It'd be good to have you along Chris. You at the on on Wally road? I've dealt with Dave Hickey over the past few months as I was looking at new M3/4 options. In the end i found another C63. Message me if you need a parking space reserved for something interesting.

Eddie

[ecain63]

Starting from 9am Spike. Brekkie served until 11 i think.

[ecain63]

Just a wee reminder for next Sunday folks.

[ecain63]

Right guys. I spoke to the management at the Inn today and all is good for Sunday. It will be open from 9 but you don't have to rush if you don't want to. The main dining area needs to be cleared by 11 so they can prep lunch but we are welcome to stay for longer in the comfy sofa area. Of course, if you want to come nearer 11 and then stay for lunch that works too.

It looks like there will be a good mix of cars attending. AMG's, Alpinas, //M's, Teslas and more. If anyone has anything particularly special they want to bring and is in need of a fixed space then please do let me know.

Hope to see and meet as many of you as possible there, and don't forget families are also welcome.

Parking is limited to the bit directly in front of the pub and the car park to the side which IIRC is very tight. Does it matter where we park??

You can also park on the road if needed. As this is meet number 1 i suspect we'll all fit in either of the two parking areas. If not there is space along the roadside as suggested. I'll be there early to assist.

Weather dependant, I may come down from High Wycombe for this, it looks like it may be a nice drive down going cross country.

Weather looks cloudy but dry. Get your bum down for the big win!

Roger that mate. I'll see you there.

I'm going to have to give it a miss, this time mate, the shocking weather today means I really need to get out with the family tomorrow. Hope all goes well and I'll definitely be interested in the next one.
