1999 Defender 90 2.5 TD HT Alpine White
Berkshire (ish) Meet Up
Hi all,

After several successful meets at the West Berks Brewery, we are thinking of a different venue for the next meet, either the cafe at Blackbushe Airfield or the cafe at Popham Airfield, Blackbushe we can not book a table, Popham we can I believe book at a table, thinking Sunday April 3rd, lunch time if that works for everyone that’s interested, more than happy to go with the majority

Let me know your preference.

Dave

Hello The Whippet

We're in, and also happy to follow the consensus for the location, maybe we aim for a new venue
each meet up and return to the 'stand outs' or those that draw a good turn out... Question

I'll put my vote, this time for Blackbushe Airport.

A few historic points...
RAF Airfield from 1941 – 1945 / Civilian use 1946 >
Bob Dylan concert held in 1978
Owned by British Car Auctions from 1985 – 2015
Pit lane scenes of the film Rush (Hunt Vs Lauda) filmed in 2012
Owned by Private Investors 2015 >
Osama Bin Laden's family members killed in private plane crash in 2015

Pathfinder Café looks 'basic' but OK...

The Blackbushe cafe used to be good, no idea what it's like now but I'll consult the events department vis-a-vis availability.

It will not go.

Another important historical event of note is that I ragged my JCW mini around the car park big time once, about 8 years ago..... Oh woe, oh woe

Hello Mother superior

OK I see your 'car park antics' and raise you...

Learning to drive at 15 using the runway 'after hours' Cool.
Spending the better part of my 16th year on a moto-cross bike around the then go-cart track Thumbs Up
but my fondest memories were learning to renovate cars with a local legendary panel beater and sprayer called 'marvellous mac', who worked out of one of the old hangers, in time, out side school hours, I picked up a few skills that have served me well, I even got to paint a section of Spitfire (No. EE606) held there by a local builder / developer, Charles Church who unfortunately was killed when it crashed in 1989.

Blackbushe was a kind of motorised playground growing up, would probably never happen now. SKIP

Just had a look at the diary and we are travelling back from Portsmouth that day so probably won't make it although I might pop my head around the corner if I'm about.
Steve is still going though

Wes Oh woe, oh woe
My crusty old landrover,
It will not go.

Morning all, the majority of those who have confirmed that they will be able to meet have said that they would prefer Blackbushe, so Blackbushe it is.......I can not book a table so we will have to try our luck, shall we go 12.30 - 12.45?

Look forward to seeing everyone there

Dave

Thumbs Up and a relatively decent weather forecast in as much no rain!
