Sussex meet-up? Let's make it happen!

Giving this a bump.
Anyone at all in Sussex?

Hello I'm in East Sussex. About 16 miles from Eastbourne, Lewes and Hastings. Meeting up in Lewes is best for me, Brighton and Worthing being difficult to park I think and a bit far.

Hi Brendawymms
OK, one suggestion for Lewes. We could go to the original 'Bill's'. Love it there!
Any more suggestions from Sussex Gransnetters - any area?
I edit both the Brighton & Hove site and the Worthing one, so 2 different areas are an option if we are spread across the counties!

A late night bump as I've tried lunchtime and evening ... where are the Sussex Gransnetters? Do we have any?

OK, and now a mid-morning bump!
Are Sussex Gransnetters just too busy for meet-ups, or are we all solitary souls down here on the south coast??
Just let me know, ladies

You must know I am a Sussex Gransnetter, but unfortunately I do not drive, and public transport is available but variable. Thought you might like to hear this - yesterday at Amberley Museum, I was talking to a couple of visitors who had just moved to Storrington from North London, and they were almost in awe of the beauty of Sussex, said they had no idea before they moved what a lovely county it is. I have always said that but it is nice to know someone else feels they same. They looked in to see us on their way out of the Museum (ours was their first port of call, to print some things for their grand-children who were staying with them), and said how much they had enjoyed their visit and would be coming again without the children.

Hello PRINTMISS Yes, we have conversed before , and I was aware that travel was an issue for you.
Sussex is such a beautiful county (or 2 counties, as it became a few decades ago) and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the UK. Lovely to hear stories of other people 'discovering'.
It does seem Gransnetters are a bit thin on the ground down here though. I only know of a handful. Maybe my attempts at organising get-togethers are not going to get beyond the 2 or 3 attendee stage that I've had for coffee mornings so far [hmmm]

Hello again Sussex Gransnetters. I really would love to know if anyone down here in beautiful sunny Sussex is interested in meeting up with other Gransnetters?
Any suggestions welcome, and any location. As I've mentioned before, I edit both Worthing local.gransnet.com/worthing and Brighton & Hove local.gransnet.com/brighton-hove. I also know Sussex really well, having lived in several places, so all ideas are welcome.
Perhaps there's an event you'd like to go to? Let me know Anna.

Hi PRINTMISS I was lurking on threads I don't normally read and saw your mention of Storrington. My DD and family live there and I have told her about Amberley Museum and your particular interest and involvment. She will check opening times and events for half-term and hopes to visit.She thinks 14yr old may have "better things to do", polite speak for not going out with Mum but 11yr old will be keen, and ,yes, it really is a lovely county.

Thanks for that annsixty I do hope my enthusiasm lives up to expectations. I haven't done Wednesdays - the special half term days for children - but I do know the Museum gets very busy on those days, and we receive a weekly update on activities throughout the Museum so we are kept in touch with what is going on. Perhaps if they go, you could give me some feed-back? Thank you.

... and bringing this back on track ... ...
Do I conclude that Sussex Gransnetters are not interested in meeting up?

I'm between Horsham and Brighton. Like brendawymms I find Brighton difficult for parking (always use my bus pass if I need to get into Brighton). Could easily do Lewes, Haywards Heath or around that area

Nanna Anna sorry I'll go back on the naughty step. I have been sent there before!!

Hi yogagran Lovely to hear from you I will keep on plugging away and hopefully in time a few more Sussex Gransnetters will appear and we will have enough to make a meet up viable.
I do think membership is thinner on the ground down here than in some parts of the country.

annsixty No worries - you can get up off the naughty step. Meandering on threads is quite common

Yes Lewes or Hayward's Heath works for me.

As a newbie to this site would love to meet up with other grans in area, agree Brighton is a no no from the parking point of view, but haywards Heath would be ideal, and their are plenty of coffee shops to choose from.

Hello Sheridan Lovely to hear from you
So we seem to be moving towards Haywards Heath at the moment.
Are there a selection of coffee shops now? I moved away fro HH in 2009 and back then there was a Costa, a Starbucks in Sainsburys, and The Bay Tree. What's available now?

Hi NannaAnna
Not great at travelling and am one of the few who managed the Worthing coffee mornings, but let me know where and when and I will try to join you

Hi ItsOnlyNan I'm sure we can sort something. I would probably drive if it was Haywards Heath or Lewes, so we could go together if that helps. I would try to organise another Worthing coffee morning if there was any indication that there was enough interest, but it does seem that Gransnetters are thin on the ground down our way, hence the attempt at making it county-wide. If anyone wants to prove me wrong that would be great
How is the 'Hook, Knit, Sip' group going? I still haven't managed to get along, although my intentions are good. (Thinks still a bit chaotic but improving for now)

Hi, I am in Heathfield , with a car so could meet up in Lewes, Hayward's Heath, anywhere around there ! I am new to the area so it would be good to meet people !

Hi Anncdw I need to bring all these Sussex meet-up threads together in one new one, but for the meantime, I have posted on the other old one that seems to have been resuscitated (and with a link to the more current one - even though that's now a few months old too!)
