Popham Airfield - 2nd Sunday of the Month
 

Seeing the interest in Popham on the site, I thought I would now create this thread.

Every month we have an SV meet at Popham Airfield - 2nd Sunday of the Month.

This initially started out as a SV1000 meet, but it would be great to see loads of all the SV's there!

Popham is found here : Multimap link
It is just off of the A303, about 5 mins west of Basingstoke.

The Airfield manager is a massive bike fan himself, and welcomes all types of bikes, new and old. His only request is that we respect that it is a family airfield, and be careful whilst riding down the road, and please, no burnouts! We all meet at the Clubhouse, which is at the end of the road.

www.popham-airfield.co.uk On this link you will find all directions to get to the airfield, and also a sub-section for motorbikes.

Also to add, there's a great little canteen there, with hot food & drink available (bacon butties in the morning!)

Anyways, next meet is on the 9th April, hope to see you there!

This is indeed a great venue.

The cafe does lovely cakes aswell as bacon sarnies.

Plenty of parking for bikes, even when the ducati club turns up - some very nice Peter Henry Bling there.

Everyone there is really friendly - even the goose :wink:

I won't be able to make it till after June, but that sounds like something I'll be up for.
Also, just down the road from Micheldever Tyres, pity about the no burnouts rule cos that would have been convenient to make good use of the last of a tyre.

:D Haven't seen the goose this year yet! It really is hilarious! Past couple of months, the SVs have definitely been outnumbering the Dukes.....too cold for 'em, bless! Look forward to seeing you there!

LOL, yeah I know. But you can always drop your bike off, then hitch a lift to Popham!

mmh.. might well be interested...

I've also edited the link so its no longer running off the screen...

Give us a shout G if you fancy a trip down and I'll take a bimble with you.

Well you won't be able to make the 9 of April will you... :wink:
Will have to be the following month...

you should be at a Christening!

May it is then!

Can I join in, I'm very likely available on the 9th April if the wevvers ok.?

Incidentally, if you're approaching from the East, the Salisbury planes on the approach to the airfield are excellent for "high speed testing" your bike. :twisted:

Very open, so nowhere for the police to hide, very few turnings onto the road, just the occassional "tank crossing" to watch out for. :D
