Tricky-Ricky Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We used to have reasonably regular meets, but the venue we used (Stanmer Park Brighton) put up barriers so we couldn't park up, after that things just sort of faded out, with just the odd small one here and there. Beachy Head is always a nice venue, or Eastborne or Newhaven maybe. mind you I'll be turning up in a Skyline these days:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Me and my mate (Richlift) live in crawley, we would be up for a meet depending on when/where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Something is trying to be arrange, where we can meet park up and not be asked to move on. Details will be up soon hopefully. I did try to arrange a monthly meet in Storrington W.Sussex last year as my father in law owns an itallian resturant and there is plenty of parking there and it's somewhere to get something to eat or drink. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideas? It was a good idea and we had interest then people just dropped out until it was just me and you left! I would be up for it and I'll get searching for a good meeting place to! Have a good one today guys if you do go to fairmile! Make sure you take a lot of pics to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 After seeing how things have gone in the past when it comes to regular meets, i think the main consideration is distance, and cost of fuel in todays climate, people don't want to keep throwing in anything from 30 to 80 quid in the tank, to attend a meet that is a fair old drive only to find that two or three people turn up, i know i don't. So my suggestion would be, if we are going to organize a Sussex meet on a regular basis, would be to have alternate East Sussex, West Sussex meets, that way it gives the people who are at the extreme ends of the region to at least make a meet every other month, if they either feel its too far or costly to attend each one.

bullet_uk Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I think you could be right Ricky, well there seems to be enuff of us Sussex lot to be able to arrange something surely so i suggest we all get thinking and sorting anyone here going to fairmile today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I totally agree with you Tricky maybe we could find a couple of places and alternate them monthly, that way people who want to and can make each meet will just turn up. Maybe get a list going a fortnight before each meet and that way noone has a wasted journey if nobody else turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) This sounds like it is coming together. My folks live up the road from pub called the Three Crowns in ashurst wood just outside east grinstead, its pretty easy to get to, has a decent size car park which is one long line so we could park in a row, with no pot holes! And the owner said he doesnt mind as long as we buy a drink, he said if we wanted a cavery roast on a sunday (is £8.50 and flipping lovely) then he would reserve our spaces for us! It would be great to get the sussex supras together. Edited March 5, 2011 by Supra Gaz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Has anyone got any dates or days of the week in mind? I know that will determine how many people will come but do we have an idea of how many could make it for a rough number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 pretty much any day except saturdays for me as i work all day saturdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ok, I think saturdays would be out for most of us. Sundays would be good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
