Correct, we organise these as a loose bunch of friends and enthusiasts, not a club, so they are open to all.

If you would like to come, just turn up, or arrange to join convoys for travel if anyone else is coming from your area.

Its all very relaxed.

Very nice. There should be some very nice cars on show.

It would be nice to get some more numbers in marques other than Alfas too, so please do come along with your Fiats, Lancias, etc.

I'll be bringing the Abarth again. Will probably just come over to hedge end again rather than trying to meet in between.

That's great news, I look forward to meeting you both.

Across the various forums and through friends who are coming we have the promise of some very nice cars.

It will be great to get out after what seems to have been a very long winter!

If the weather is half decent I'll either bring the 946 Spider I bought a couple of weeks ago, or my Ferrari 360 (it is Italian after all).

Just a reminder - we have a small convoy gathering for those coming via Newbury.

9am at McDonald's carpark in Retail Park (South of Newbury, Pinchington Lane)

Great to hear so many are coming- we have also had great responses on some other sites, and through friends etc.

The weather does look like sunshine and chance of showers, but the Cafe is warm and dry, and the field is firm, so all should still be good.

A reminder for anyone wanting to come from the south in the group, meet in Sainsbury's car park at Hedge End (J7, M27) near the petrol station - arrival there by 08:30. We will then drive on through the Moon Valley with a second stop in the car park of the George & Falcon pub on the A32 at 09:00 before we drive on to the cafe.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Had another meet in the diary, but tempted to come along to this in my Giulia QF. Also have a friend with a 599 GTB who will likely join also. How long does the meet go on for? I need to be back home in Surrey at around 14:30 in the afternoon. Also, is anyone heading over from Surrey (I'm Dorking/Leatherhead way) in convoy?

previously we were gathering at 9:40/10, talk for 30-40 minutes walking around the cars and then getting inside to ordered and eat. It is a safe bet that by 12 most people are leaving.

that would be fantastic if you both could join

Yes, would be great if you could make it.

As stated above, we tend to arrive between 09:30 and 10:00, then it is a mix of looking and chatting around the cars, and getting breakfast (if you want to).

We tend to drift off home late morning/lunchtime. As it isn't at all formal it is up to you as to times- you could arrive later, leave earlier, whatever you like.

I look forward to meeting you.
