November Meeting
The first meeting of the Solent Section's winter programme will be held once again at The Waters Edge Restaurant, Mercury Marina, Hamble.

The fact that Gins Farm was billed as the last summer meet does not preclude another taking place in the autumn so here’s an opportunity to get together somewhere we haven’t been to for a while.
