CURDRIDGE SCOUT & GUIDE HQ, Reading Room Lane, Curdridge SO32 2HE (near Botley)
Whether you are travelling north or south on the M27, turn off at Junction 7, and take the first left exit for A334 Hedge End/Botley. Continue all the way down the A334 through Botley town centre, and just after Botley railway station you will see a fork in the road - take the left side for B3035 Bishops Waltham & Curdridge. Down this road, take the second turning on the right into Reading Room Lane, and the hall is at the bottom of this road on the right hand side, next to the Reading Rooms, and opposite a big green-roofed farm house. If you miss the fork in the road, and have stayed on the A334, Reading Room Lane is the second turning on the left, and you can see the buildings from the bottom of that road. Alternatively, from Fareham or Gosport, follow the A32 as far as Wickham, and then take a left turn into the A334 Winchester Road (Curdridge is 4 miles from Wickham). Follow the A334 through Shedfield and well before you get into Botley town centre, you need to take a right hand turn off the road into Reading Room Lane (follow the road junction signs carefully, it's not an obvious turn!)

SOUTHWICK D-DAY MEMORIAL HALL, off Priory Road, Southwick, Portsmouth PO17
Whether you're coming from Portsmouth or Petersfield, it's easy to find. From Portsmouth, travel up on the A3 to the Cosham roundabout. and follow signs to the Queen Alexandra Hospital.

Follow this road into Southwick Village, and you will see a sign at the end of Priory Road that tells you "NO RIGHT TURN. HMS DRYAD and D-DAY MEMORIAL HALL" - ignore this sign and turn right anyway, because it takes you to the Hall and Car Park.
