This looks like a cool place for a meet, shall I call and arrange a Lotus day there?

I'd obvs be there, anyone else?

Used to use this pub for band meetings, it’s a big place, and has plenty of car parking space. Looks like the new owners have made a real effort, too.

Count me in Bibs.

I'd be up for that, I'm not far away in Hastings. 🙂

Hi all - relatively new here and keen to meet other lotus owners / would definetly be up for this! 

[Chillidoggy]

We were invited there last night for a meeting organised by Jag specialists, Turner Classics. Second time we've been now, and it really is a nice, car-centred, venue. It has a tarmac car park, but there's a cut-through into a much larger, grassy area that they use for gatherings. The pub owners are car enthusiasts, keen to see they don't have idiots in attendance, and indeed have already banned 3 such individuals who thought it was funny to continually rev up their engines in their hot hatches with the usual "Rice Krispies"  engine mapping (snap, crackle & pop).

@Bibs - it's worth a reconnoitering visit.

Heads up.

There’s a Best of British meet on 14th June. https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/ashford/b-road-at-the-stag/garden-takeover-series-best-of-british/2023-06-14/18:30/t-morqjeg

I am going to The Halfway House "The Stag" for a breakfast with a few other Lotus owners on Sunday 24th September for breakfast at 10. So please feel free to meet up for a bacon roll or something larger with fellow owners.

Regards,

 

Paul.

How many are going to this @Peapod, as I may pop along 🙂

[Peapod]

Sorry, I have only just seen this.

Just a few.

Nice turn out! I was booked in for a Covid booster this morning or would have popped over!

Enjoyed meeting everyone, thank for organising. It's a great venue for car meets!
