After a couple of years away from Pub Club having tried different venues with varying success throughout 2023 and 2024, a few of us trialled Caffeine & Machine earlier this week as a potential location to host once a month during the summer months.

The thinking behind having a monthly meet at C&M was that even when numbers are low, there's plenty of other petrolheads around with interesting cars to look at. And, of course, the venue is the home of where Pub Club started well over a decade ago when 300+ cars and sometimes even the odd helicopter would descend on the fields surrounding the West Meon Hut.

With Caffeine & Machine hosting daily events and the various other meets across the car calendars, those numbers won't ever be replicated. However, a monthly meet where likeminded individuals can get together and enjoy each other's cars is something we'd still like to do.

Everyone welcome, see you there! 6pm onwards.

Hi,

I had the same thought and managed a couple of meetings so far at C&M. I'd booked for Thursday as many people WFH on Friday anyway. Could combine them. I didn't post on other regional groups as I thought they might be a bit far.

Good idea, happy to combine them. Looks like Thursday's work better for those that have posted so far so I'm happy to change to Thrusday 30th April, at least for this month and then see how it goes.

We have over 400 members part of the original Pub Club FB group, so I will post on there as well and hopefully we get a half decent turnout. I'll see if a mod can change the date in the title of this thread.

Changed to Thursday 30th April and have updated the OP with a list of attendees. Will hopefully be a fair few more closer to the time.

Those that showed an interest if it was a Thursday, let me know if you're able to attend and I'll update the list.

@Frimley111R happy for you to reference this thread/the date in your main one if this new date works for you guys? Could look to combine and do something like the last Thursday of the month going forwards perhaps.

Cheers

Great. Diarised, count me in, thanks. Will hopefully (subject to client bookings) be able to check out Goodwood first as it looks like there will be a trackday for vintage cars?

Nice, and well worth going to Goodwood first if you have time. The B2141 is a great road. Beware of average speed cameras on the A272.

Yeah, bizarre place for an average camera.

Yep, all good here, the more the merrier. I've referenced this thread on the TVS thread too.

It's also worth cross posting on the general C&M The Hut thread.
