5th August Italian Car Breakfast Meet- Southern England
Discussion
Hello All,
For anyone who lives in the Southern Counties of England, some friends and I organise a very informal car meet on the first Saturdays of April, June, August, and October. It is a breakfast meet held at The Departure Lounge Cafe, just outside of Alton, in the northern part of Hampshire.
The reason for posting on this board is that it is apparent that not everyone looks at the event boards, Generally at past events more people have said they have seen the event on marque specific threads across various forums than on any event or regional board, so I hope you won't mind me posting this up here.
Past events have had 40+ cars of various Italian marques in attendance, with an excellent spread from Ferraris and Maserattis through to Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and Fiat. Cars have ranged in age from classics to newly released models. Owners have come from many of the central and southern counties, as well as London.
The format is to turn up if you would like to attend, and park up on the nicely kept field in front of the cafe (which is regularly used for car shows and is away from the general car park), have a chat with other owners and get some breakfast if you want to. You can arrive from just before 10am, when the cafe opens, and people usually drift away at lunchtime.
We would love to see you if you would like to come and say hello. Do feel free to spread the word to any other Italian Car owners you know.

Hi Steve,
The address of the venue is:
The Departure Lounge Cafe
Basingstoke Road
Alton
Hampshire
GU34 4BH
When you arrive, drive through the car park and into the field at the far end.
I am usually not there much before 10, as we often pick up a bit of a convoy from the south coast on the way, but you probably can arrive a little before 10.
Hope to see you there.

Thanks to Steve and those others who brought some wonderful cars to the event yesterday.
We had 48 in total, with a real variety of marques and models, which was great. Especially good as August is usually down on numbers due to the impact of summer holidays.
It was great to have a good number of current and historic supercars from Ferrari, Maseratti, and Lamborghini, as well as the Alfas, Fiats, and Lancia (only the one of the latter this time).
I hope you enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing you again for our next and final meet of the year on Saturday 7th October.
