Dear HOC Member, HOC ANNUAL RALLY 13-15th SEPTEMBER 2013 This years' HOC Rally, as I hope you already know, and thanks to Tig, will be held at the Merry Harriers (http://www.merryharriers.com/) – a 16th Century Public House (Tig's local!) - which is located in the beautiful South Downs, Surrey. The address is as follows:
Merry Harriers (http://www.merryharriers.com/)
Hambledon Road,
Hambledon,
GU8 4ADTel: 01428 682883 Location & Accommodation: The pub is situated on the B2150, which can be accessed from either the A32 or A3, and has its own campsite which has been booked for the Rally. Although hotel / B&B accommodation is available elsewhere (nearest major towns are Havant and Petersfield) it may prove difficult to find the closer it is situated to Goodwood, Chichester.
