Are the pub meets still going ahead for the Wessex region?

Only asking as I recently the BMW CC, based upon postcode I have been put in the Western region but geographically it is easier for me to attend Wessex meets.........

if you want to come to the Wessex region pub meet you would be made most welcome, however it is a fair way from Swindon. We meet at the Fox at North Waltham on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. This is just one junction south of the Basingstoke turn off on the M3. The details are in the Club mag under Wessex, there is another one which is near Bournemouth, but again a fair distance.
Its 55 miles each way for me, but I still enjoy going and have made good friendships with people who attend the pub meet and we have had many other outings together with and without the club.

However, if you feel there is enough interest you could start your own pub meet locally? I tried to do this where I live but only got four responses and two could not guarantee to come on a regular basis, so I scrapped it.

I just looked from Swindon bus station (just a reference point) it is 54 miles each way via Newbury.
