JRAS Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Just under a week to go now. We have been informed that there may be roadworks on Lyndhurst Road, Minstead that leads from the A31 to Minstead village hall via Castle Malwood Park Farm - see map Luckily there are several alternative routes available, the easiest of which are: Those arriving via the M27 can take the first exit at junction one, use the A337 (to Lyndhurst) and take a right turn at the crossroads with a minor road leading to Minstead - if you arrive in Lyndurst you will have gone to far. Alternatively leave the A31 at Stoney Cross and travel via Fuzey Gardens, which is only a short distance away from Minstead village hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAS Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Just a couple of days to go now and the bad news is that, sadly, one of the layouts, Northam Quay, is unable to attend - perhaps next year.......... The good news is that there are still 22 stands for you to visit - we hope you enjoy the show. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
