Brighton & East Sussex Section

The Brighton and East Sussex group meets on the first Wednesday of every month at the Abergavenny Arms, Rodmell, Nr Lewes, East Sussex. (The village of Rodmell can be found on Kingston Road from Lewes to Newhaven). We usually gather from about 12.15 onwards.

The group is very informal – we order our chosen food and drinks from the bar on arrival, then all sit together, inside or out (depending on our wonderful English weather!) and enjoy each other’s company for the next couple of hours or so. We have Old Blues from Horsham and Hertford and we have quite a large age range. We welcome partners and friends, of whom there are usually quite a few, and the number regularly attending is around sixteen to twenty.

We try to have at least one outing a year, in the summer. This is usually planned for the third Wednesday of the chosen month, all suggestions for venues more than welcome!

We also have a very informal Christmas lunch on the first Wednesday of December with much hilarity and joviality – this is the only time I need to know numbers in advance as the pub likes us to order the festive fare at least one week beforehand, they provide a very adequate three course meal for around £20.00 a head.

I would be very pleased to welcome new members, if anyone has recently moved into the area or has retired and would like to come along, please do give me a ring on 01825 840727 or alternatively you can email me at: sworeilly@btinternet.com

We all look forward to greeting you!
