The 178th Hampshire Monthly Mid-Week Meet will be held at...
The Bird in Hand
Day Lane, Lovedean
PO8 9RX
Tel: 02392 591055 / Website: thebirdinhand.net
6.30pm to 9.30pm, Wednesday 13th August 2025
A new venue for the Hampshire Meet - sadly, due to a pub closure it was impossible to host at the usual location, but you may recognise the staff and menu at this pub 
As well as a spacious inside area, there's a large beer garden complete with kids play equipment should you feel more comfortable outside. There's plenty of parking in the pub's large car park and on roads nearby. Should you wish to make a day of it there are plenty of caches nearby, and there might even be one more by the time the event's finished!
If you would like to eat, food can be ordered on the night until 8pm (no preorder necessary). The pub's menu is available here. If all goes to plan, the traditional wooden chest will be available for dropping off, picking up and discovering trackables, and there will also be the raffle run by GeoJaxx with numerous prizes and caching related items to win.
Officially, the event will run from 6.30pm to 9.30pm, but there are always early birds and late finishers! If you've never been to an event before please feel free to come along - these caches are always great to get some tips and hints on those unsolved puzzle caches, tricky hides or other advice and help. You're welcome to message me in advance through my profile/email and I'll look out for you and introduce you to others - you can be assured of a warm welcome.
