I was wondering if anyone would like to meet in East Sussex?
Plan was, everyone can go wherever they would like during the day, google East Sussex Gardens and you get the jist! (so many to vist!!)
Then back at mine for an A4All barbeque? (think would need to sort out the meat side, perhaps everyone pays something? as a caterer I can get my hands on bulk stuff and work out how much per head?, but I could probably cover the salads, COURGETTES ;D etc!)
Anyone interested?
-
That sound smashing and I love to go to BBQ gatherings and take stuff too,but I think it would be too far for us. I feel sad now.............XX Jeannine
-
Hello DP, I may be over that way in the next few weeks. Any idea what date?
cj :)
-
Right matey, as we know where you are, you know you can count on me and the old man. I will speak to you about dates as we are away for a bit. Yes, can probably get the kids to mums!
-
Distinct possibility for me providing dates are compatible. ;D
A visit to the Weald and Downland open air museum is always hot favourite here. ;D
-
Yes please!!!!! Wanna see your gunnera, Mrs P! Just depends on the date though as the next two months are rather hectic!
-
Count me in too, Barnsdale was a bit too far. If I am not working would love to come!
Corinne (and maybe Rob!)
-
Hurrah, some interest ;D
Was thinking August??? Any good to anyone, have 2 weekends then that I am working so definately can't do, was thinking August because my darling teenagers will be away! ;)
Or we can go on into September if that suits, was just thinking if we are barbequeing, we need to try and get a warmish evening!!! ;D ;D ;D
Jeannine, wish you could come :'( :'( :'( Would love to meet you both.
Cj hope you can come too!
-
August great for me but not the bank holiday weekend as we're off to Wales for the last week of the school hols.
-
Seen the thread-something I have to talk to Jenny about and she is `body pumping` in the gym right now ;D
-
Oh err Stephan, is that to keep you in order?? ;D ;D
Am still trying to figure out a date, eabr with me, it definately won't be the Bank Holiday weekend as that is one of the ones I am working! :'(
-
pencil me in but i will know more nearer the time.
-
we'll have to see what the date is, our son lives in brighton so, we might be able to come ;D
-
Manics, I loved living in Brighton, was there for 4 years! Met the OH there! ;D
Penciled in Cambourne ;D
-
Doris, I will take a look at the trains,I would have to stay over somewhere though and John would not be able to come as it is too long to leave the Pekes. Can you tell me what city you are in and I will see what the choo choo says.School summer hols best for me but that is 6 weeks away.
I will look into it further, and if there is anyone I could team up with I would appreciate it if they could tell me.
Especially if anyone is planning to stay over somewhere

-
I have had a google and it is out of the question for me, the trip is too long and 4 trains and a tube.
So you will all have to take lots of pictures to share.

Don't like to nag, but any idea of a date yet mateymoo? Would need to book mum up as she wants to come to us for a week in the school hols. ;D
-
DP. Oh boy you know how I love East Sussex having lived near you for 5 glorious years. As soon as you have a date I may be able to persuade son to bring me. Recently he has had a couple of trips to Kent & Sussex to look at the house where his wife was born and also to show his wife where we lived in Mayfield. On last trip he met up with our old neighbour and he did say he would take me to see the neighbour so here's hoping.
-
Righty ho.......how does the 1st September sound? Or the weekend after that, the 8th? (kids will be back at school then though)
The only weekends I can do in August are the 4th and the 11th.

-
As I have no one to worry about almost any date would suit me, I have already put out a little "feeler" to son John.. Would so love to be there.
Lorna.
-
Oh Lorna, you could get son to drive you around Mayfield!! ;D ;D Horray, glad you can come! ;D ;D
-
I shall prime mum for the 1st. ;D
-
!st is good for me too ;D August is a busy month for us workwise. I may travel alone (air of mystery smiley) but I bet HE will want to come at the last minute ::) ;D
-
1st sounds good to me too... ;D
Am looking forward to it already!
-
Mum sorted. Ava and I are all yours on the 1st September. ;D
-
DP. Will put 1st Sept. to son. Just depends if he has an American Vehicle meet to go to. He has gone to one today, and one he has been persuaded to help run. Anyhow fingers crossed.
Would be lovely to have a walk round Mayfield, only thing is my dearest friend of 30plus years is no longer with us, but I will certainly enjoy.
Soon as I know I will confirm. Many thanks for getting this meet together

sorry, doris, we're in cornwall for the week before and the the week after so, maybe next time :( :)
-
Sorry from me too - I'll be coming back from Wales on 1st September.
-
Yipee. Son told me 99% that he will be able to bring me. I suggested that we booked in B&B for overnight stay but he said he needed to come back Sat night. All being well we plan to leave reasonably early then he will do a tour of the villages and places we knew. He will drop me off at yours at whatever time you tell us (they will go off and have a meal) then pick me up at an arranged time. Bingo... sussed ;D OMG am I the only oldie so far??
-
Excellent Lorna, I will be there! Very exciting!!
-
Just looked now, and all the travelodge cheap rooms are gone for 1st September. I wonder if it is because of the droves of people all trying to get to the meet?
I'm off to work on another plan. 8)

Really looking forward to meeting a few cyber friends. John did say it would be a job to find a reasonably priced place for a Sat. Fortunately for me he wants to come home Sat night, he said he doesn't mind what time. Hope we come in the chevvy then if I am tired he can put down the rear seats and make me a bed ;D
-
Hooray! ;D (Lorna me Mum can pop over to keep you company if you want! ;D She loves a "do"!)
Sorry Jill and Manics, maybe we will make it an annual barbecue, and you can come next year. :'( :'( :'(
Anyone looking for accommodation nearby, if you PM me I can give you local areas to try.
