South West Members(Wilts/Hants area)

I would like to know if there are any members in the Wilts, Hants, Dorset, Somerset, Avon and Gloucs areas who'd be willing to meet up centrally for an exchange of chat etc. Or if you are not in these areas and don't mind travelling, you will be made to feel just as welcome.
I arranged a meet last year with some online friends at www.jaguarworld.com down at Cartgate picnic area on the A303 near Yeovil, Somerset, and we had a good turn-out, and a good old natter. Plus it gave eachother the chance to see what others are driving.
If there is enough interest, please post below and I will scour my road atlas to find a suitable meeting point. The Haynes Motor Museum is another favourite spot, but I will scout around.
Let me know either here or via PM if you think it's a goer 
Dan.

Great, that's three interested Plus myself is four.
I am looking at Cartgate again seriously as the parking is free and there is a 24 hr cafe & toilets on site. Plus if we meet on a Sunday afternoon it won't be too heaving with other cars!! It's very easy to find, on the A303 just north of Yeovil. I am still looking around though, any suggestions?

Thanks Gozz. Glad someone, apart from Snoopy, realises what us oldies have to put up with down here !!. Kids !!!  . We may get the chance of that beer next month as I'm staying at Rutland Water for a couple of days on the way to Harewood.

Hi Guys, well I have to say, I'm quite impressed by the interest shown about doing this, so I'm going to stick my neck out here and say how about meeting up on Sunday 15th June, 2pm onwards at Cartgate picnic area, near Yeovil?
Here's the link for the location;
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Cartgate+ picnic+area,+Yeovil,+Somerset&jsv=111&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=10.989506,29.750977&num=10&iwloc=A&iwstate1=saveplace
Let me know if you can/cannot make this date, so as I know whether to make it definate or not.
Cheers.
Dan.

Bit of a trek for me from Woking, but I'll keep an eye on how this develops, and if you get a few I'll try and come down as well.
I'm sure we all imagine a day like this in glorious sunshine...what are our options if it's pouring??
I shall be consulting my GBG to see if anything is listed nearby...not that much beer can be had on a driving day, but we we could at least have a noggin and natter in a cosy bar.
