The last meet here was poorly attended by forum members,
so I have in a way been loathe to post thisup on here.
But.....it is a Smart meet, and it would be a real shame
not to have any ForFour's turn up at this event.
And YES, I know the Beaulieu Smart meet is the next day,
and for some a decision may well have to be taken as to which
one to attend, so here are the details for anyone who may be
interested.

Start time - 11:00am
End time   - 4:00pm

Parking can be tight...as the meet is shared with ForTwo's, Crossblades and Roadsters.
If you don't intend staying till near the end, then make sure you tell the 'marshalls'
so that they can park you where you can get out easily or without too much hassle.

It's also the same 'recipe' as previous Smart meets at the Café....
DO NOT bring your own food or drinks...
that is part of the agreement with the management to use this venue....besides...
the food they have available is 'to die for'....and ALL the food and drinks are
very reasonably priced ! (Seriously..just try the Chilli 'n' cheese on chips to see what I mean)
They also do real minced steak beef burgers and normal steaks etc etc.
There's no horse meat here, the biker boys would string the owners up if they tried ! !
It's all real good tasty food, with prices that make it hard to choose which meal or dish
it is going to be that you will eventually get ya teeth into or gums round !

Please don't expect a massive venue, ok. It's small but friendly, just like a meet
at your 'local' pub, but the food and the nostalgia make up for anything lacking.
Just check the weather forecast before you make the run down to this event.
Unless it's a calm, clear, dry and not too cold a day then it'll be ok.
Otherwise, avoid it like the plague.

I am going to do my best to attend this event...but I'll have
only just finished my last night shift at 06:00 !    a scant
few hours before this event starts...so I may be a bit late.

Oh, and again...subject to weather.... I'll be attending the
Simply Smarts event at Beaulieu the following day as well ! !   
 


So who else might just make it to this event at The Ace ?

[lil.smartie]

I will  endeavor to attend. It will depend on work schedules. I am unlikely to have my smart by then  . I did enjoy the last one I attended . The food is excellent and the prices are reasonable for those who aren't already familiar with it. Cecil

A great venue.  I would have liked to make it, but I am trading at Brands Hatch that weekend.  Sorry

I had all intentions of going to this one as I haven't been to any this year but I have had to waste the entire day dealing with an absolute spastic eBay seller.

[CrazyG]

shame...wuda been good to have seen you if you had made it.

It was ok....only 4 ForFour's (1 non-member..but soon to be).
Loadsa a ForTwo's (all versions) and Roadie's....
No pics...sorry....

[cecil]

Which for four was yours G? I was wandering round and had a good chat with the Brab owners who were parked near the road.  Didnt find the owners of the 3 at the back. Sadly my brab is still in the garage so went incognito. I was wearing a smart brabus t shirt though!

[CrazyG]

Ah....the black Brab was lil.smartie's, the silver Brab in the middle on graphite monoblock A's was mine, and the Passion on the right belongs to Boddinton.

I'm not going to say what I was driving but the attendants wouldn't allow it on site! Would have liked to have said Hi to you all
