It starts at 8, but usually people who want to eat get there from 7:15 or so.

Aaaah that's not too bad then, I don't usually leave work til 6-6:30ish, but that's do-able if I eat there!

I'll see if I can make one of them in the new year in that case

I'll try and remember to post up reminders a couple of days in advance in case anyone else wants to come along.

Looking forward to the first Sussex event of the year tomorrow - WSMOC run to the Lavender Line at Isfield for breakfast

Oooh that sounds like fun Neil, have a good day - hope the weather's good

Sounds goods.

What time is this going to be as I only live 5 minutes down the road from there?

Think we're going to be arriving at Isfield station for 10:00

Had a good morning out for the first Mini event of 2013

Went over to Isfield in convoy, had an excellent breakfast in the buffet car, then a few of us had an impromptu Mini run on the way home through the back roads ... the car is now filthy again

Looks like a nice little gathering

Hi all,

I know this is the SNM, but it seems there are a fair few Sussex folk, anybody want to make themselves known!

Was dragged up in Kenley.
Now live in Crawley
Work in Reigate

Amberley meet again tomorrow night, might even get some of this this time

Off on the WSMOC Pizza Run to the Bull at Henfield later, just phoned up and preordered my dinner

Was hoping for a nice sunny evening but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Hope you have a good evening Neil, I really really must try and make one of these!

Had a nice evening despite the weather, the food was fantastic

Will have to try and arrange a Sussex pub meet at the Bull sometime.

The weather's been a bit rubbish tonight hasn't it! Ooooh yes, I'd definitely be up for that

Well the Sussex Mini/MINI owners meets at Amberley are no more - the pub changed hands earlier this year and just hasn't been the same since  

The good news is that from tomorrow we'll be meeting at the Crown Inn in Cootham instead

The new pub turned out to be excellent, large car park and great food  

And they do fantastic burgers, always a plus in my book

Sounds good but what's the chances of making it a bit closer for us country yokels..........  

Or maybe have one at the weekend.............. 

Just thought I would add that we are from Crawley, West Sussex, going with the start topic   

Im from Crawley too! Well... nearby! When are us Sussex-ians meeting up?   

I've been thinking of arranging a Sussex pub meet for a while now ... if enough are interested I'll look into it  

I'm in too - Crawley, West Sussex - Coaching Halt is nice at the jct.10a of the M23
