The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Ok im throwing this one out there, would there be any interest in a End of Summer meet in a pub somewhere one evening in Oct, venue as yet unknown but it will be central to where everybody is traveling from. im looking at Friday 24th October at moment, venue and time will be decided when we know who's coming and where there coming from.

PM me if interested and we will take it from there !!

Well, there's a beer festival in B'stoke that night so I'm sure you'll understand if I don't show up. Alternatively why don't you all sort out a minibus and come on up for some ale

Seriously though, if the date changes let me know and I'll try to get along.

I can do the 24th and might even turn up in a triumph

Ok looks like this could happen as we have a few names interested, date is confirmed as Friday 24th Oct, venue still under review will post as soon as i find somewhere suitable.

At the request of chris i am going to check out a few pubs in the Cadnam area, near M27 J1.

does any one have anything good or bad to say about Cadnam area?

The area itself or the local pubs? Good location for me, nice and local...

I can't comment on the Green Dragon, cos I've never been there. Don't even bother looking at the Sir Walter Tyrrel, it's awful. The New Forest Inn doesn't have much parking, tried to go there a couple of months ago and couldn't even get in the car park, so we went to the Royal Oak, Fritham instead - best pub in the area by far, but it is tiny, and also has very little parking. The Rockingham Arms is probably a good bet, plenty of parking, a bit of a "gastro-pub" these days, but not bad... There are also the Lamb Inn and the Red Rover, but I don't know much about either of them...

Sir John Barleycorn SO402NP, this is where the club meets were under the rein of Ed Bishop.
White Hart SO402NP
Coach and Horses just down the road from above pubs.

All just of M27 J1.

Haven't got any of them in our pub list...

When you come off Junc 1 (Cadnam) and take the turn into the Forest (sign post, Downton, Oknell, Salisbury) after approximately 0.75 miles you come to two pubs facing each other. The one on the left (white render) is quite nice but has a tiny car park though there is some overspill in the layby outside. The one on the right has a huge car park relatively, because it shared with the golf course. It also does very good food, but quite expensive IIRC. It is a nice setting though. I will find out the name when I make my pilgrimage to see my kids this weekend.

The Sir John Barleycorn is fine and has quite a large lay by/parking area and is lietrally just off the motorway roundabout.

There is also another suitable place off of the next roundabout on the Lyndhurst Road.

I can see I need to do a reccy.

cheers martin, if you could please.

Ok as time is pressing the time and venue for the Hants Group End of Summer Meet will be on Friday 24th OCT at The Sir John Barleycorn Pub in Cadnam near the New Forest Junction 1 of M27 (SIGNPOSTED CADNAM) first turning off the roundabout the PUB lays back from the road time will be 7 30 pm approx, see you there.
