Hello and welcome! I live in Battle which is a fair distance from Rye but I go there quite often and it's a lovely place. I'm sure you will find lots of ways to meet people. You can use this forum to try and arrange a meet up with local members although I haven't had much success with meet up so far! You are always welcome to come to Battle and we could meet for a coffee. Maybe there is somewhere nice half way. I will investigate. Keep in touch and hopefully we can get together after your move.
