Jacqui here, the new Chairman of the Wessex Region (for my sins!!!), finally got round to registering on the forum! As you all know we have recently put together our new committee and are doing all we can to put on some good events this summer, Tristan is doing sterling work and has already organised 2 events that look fantastic (Bealieau and Castlecombe). There are some things I would really appreciate feedback on so we as a committee can reflect what you guys enjoy in our events list. Firstly, pub meets, we plan to have a pub meet every first thursday in the month, located at various pubs around the region, the next being at The Halfway Bridge in Petworth 0n June 3rd,7.30pm, does this sound good, ideas welcome! I have always found pub meets a great oppurtunity to meet other members and of course in the summer a great chance to see some fantastic cars! The landlord of the Halfway Bridge has asked for a rough idea of numbers so could you plaese let me know if you would like to come. The Wessex committee of last year had a joint Dinner Dance with the Motorcycle club in January this year, I have been approached by the MCC to ask if our region would be interested in doing it again next year, the evening consisted of a three course meal followed by a danceband, the cost was £25 per head. The planned date is 29th January 2005. Could you send me your thoughts on this, would anyone like to go to this type of event? It would be good to give the MCC our support as they have kindly invited us along to their track day on June 12th. On that subject I need to know how many of you plan to come on that day, my local dealer has offered to bring down a couple of cars (any request? the new 6 maybe!) to view only, and if enough people come it would be good to organise a display of cars, Goodwood is always a relaxed day out and there are still some track tickets available for cars. Looking forward to lots of replies!!

Jacqui Welcome to the forum and as I said the last time I saw you Congrats on the chairpersonship. I know Melvyn intends to go to Goodwood as its been added to our calender, I am hoping to attend as well, another saturday off work my boss will not be pleased I have already posted to Tristan that Beaulieu is a possibility for me as well. The pub meet at Petworth sounds good so put me down for that one, might even be able to talk Sarah into coming along too. Dont look for the Dark Blue Z though its goes this weekend, will be in a silver one instead. Tony ------------- Committee member South East Region. Z Register Events organiser |

We would love to support the Pub meet and Goodwood but we are on holiday.
So Beaulieu in July will be our next opportunity to support the region. Good Luck ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

Phew we made it and are very glad we did, very nice pub, good food and wonderful company.
As we turned up late I didn't get to count how many cars but it looked like about 15, which is good for a weekday evening. Am I even close Mark? ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

Glad you made it in the end! Fashionably late...
Lovely to meet you, your lovely lady and the '3 I can remember 14 cars, but didn't do an official count... Note to myself, find a pub that does cheaper soft drinks... Thanks to everyone who came, hope to meet more of you the Wessex region members through out this years events. ------------- Mark Roberts

Hi Jaqui, Although we went to the Sir Walter Tyrrell we didn't actually get to talk to you. Like yourself we are Newbies. We got to speak to Mark and some of the other guys though. We will be there at Petworth if we can find it. I hope it is easier to find than Sir walter Tyrrell. Can you give us the Post Code please? We enjoyed the evening at Sir Walter Tyrrell and think that the pub meets are a great idea. If you are wondering who we are the number plate is "C6 RAP". Remove the 6 and what do you get? Ha Ha. See you there Richard and Denise Poole sorry Jaqui we can't make on thursday after all, hope to catch up with you next time, have a great evening.
