ok peeps, 4 days to go !!!!!!!!
I've been doing some final preps for the weekend today, more to do, but here's some
info for people coming:
if you want to avoid going the 'long way' to Swanage if heading towards Bournemouth/Poole,
you can take the Sandbanks Ferry, which is £3.50 and knocks about 13 miles off your journey.

for those of you using sat nav, the post code is BH13 7QN, or directions here:

Bovington Tank Museum, which is our venue after breakfast on Saturday, is really easy to get to.
You head out of Swanage on the A351 towards Wareham, then turn left onto the A352, follow that,
then turn right on a roundabout up Toot Hill, then left onto Bovington Lane. It is signposted from Wareham
anyway, but the postcode is BH20 6JG if you want to follow your sat nav.
After Bovington Tank Museum, we're heading for Lulworth Cove on the spectacular Jurassic Coast.
There is a large car park there, and the address is Main Road, West Lulworth, BH20 5RQ
On Sunday, we are off to Kingston Lacy NT, and I have received email confirmation today to say they
are looking forward to welcoming us and our cars to their property. As we will be on display in a public area,
there will probably be restrictions on un escorted vehicle movements (risk assesments, public liability, etc),
but I am speaking to them tomorrow about this and sending them a copy of our Public Liability Insurance.
It really is a beautiful property, in stunning grounds, and the DOC-UK is covering the cost of your entry to
the property. Kingston Lacy's website is here:

It is on the B3082 Blandford to Wimborne Road, apparantly sat nav can be unreliable in finding them lol, but
the address is: Kingston Lacy, Wimborne Minster, Dorset, BH21 4EA
I am going to try and put together a pack for people attending with full information on, and multimap directions
for people without sat nav.
See you all in Daaaarsettt this weekend!
