Jen was keen on a BBQ and I was keen on a treasure hunt so why not combine the two.
The date will be Sunday the 27th of July.
We will hold the treasure hunt first with this finishing at the venue for the BBQ.
The venue of the BBQ is still undecided as until now Jen didn't know the date to be able to book it
The treasure hunt will be along the lines of a general route planned with clues to be answered on route.If people are happy to pay £2-£3 per car then I will be happy to sort out some small prizes.
Start time and BBQ venue will be sorted over the next week or two.
The meeting point for the hunt will be Tesco's car park at winnal,Winchester.
The treasure hunt will not be a timed event so is ideal for those who wish to be Sunday drivers.
Counts me out then
Lets make this a big one.
Cheers Paul

WAHOO! I'll start sorting a BBQ venue... 
We'll do it as a "bring what you want to eat/drink" thingy, I'll sort out the basics and that'll be cool 
No problem with £2/3, more than up for it
Let me know if I can be of any more help

The more the merrier.
Lets make it a Southern event,Hants,Dorset,Sussex,Surrey,Wiltshire even Kent.(sorry forgot Berkshire).
It sounds like we will need somewhere quite large.Is it worth trying Farley mount?
Jen,if it's ok I will leave the BBQ side to you and I will deal with the treasure hunt.

yeh Jen Ill post on MLR, Im a registered user with all of about 5 posts - Ill wait till its a definate.
Sorry, yeh crabwood is farley mount, however just to be confusing there are pit type bbqs at farley mount (open grassy hills, but bbq quite far from car parks) then there is the bbq shelter at Crab wood, which is the better one IMHO

Dnb - Sure we can arrange a lift if you're completely car-less
As for the BBQ - Farley Mount, the original suggestion we can have from 12 - 5.30pm but it costs £80 a session
We also have to park the cars quite a long way from the BBQ thing, which could be a negative 
= Room for 100 people.
The other is in Netley Country Park (Royal Victoria), we can have 6pm - 11pm (all others booked) and again room for 100. However, this costs about £40 which is what I'd decided was reasonable Again, we have toilets/facilities for BBQ and the bonus of a kids play area nearby. The other thing is we'd get 30 car parking passes, so we can park the cars right next to the BBQ
Obviously if we were running the Treasure hunt in the afternoon-ish that would be easier for the Netley one, in the morning would be better for Farley Mount...but then again Netley will be unsuitable if we're heading to the north of the County...
Not sure what paul's planning - so if either of these aren't suitable I'll look for another destination - obviously they're getting booked up pretty quick at this time of year though! I was happy to cover the cost of the £40 one, but £80 is a bit much so we might have to think about that if that's the one we want...let me know any thoughts you guys have got on the matter

Well I've failed Tried Queen Elizabeth Country Park just south of Petersfield and they're all booked up, I think we left it a bit late to sort a BBQ venue...so I guess it's Netley (which is probably a bit far for those out of county) or a nice pub... Maybe we should settle for a pub that does nice food this time (quite willing to go and try a few in the interests of science
) and plan in advance next year That's what happens when you try and do these things out of the football season lolJen
