Hello Fellow Members,

A Happy New Year to all who might be reading this and apologies to all East Sussex Members who may have wished more regular updates on the Forum.

Through some glitch within the systems it appears that my update for Banter was lost and did not appear in the latest edition.

As an Area we are still very active and had quite a few events in 2018, though sadly we were unable to attend the Festival of Transport at Hellingly in August as the organising club had not allowed club stands this year.This is something I will take up with the organisers for 2109 and seek to redress.

Our road runs are the most popular facet of our activities and although we seldom have a huge number riding, those that do have become very good friends and always enjoy themselves.

Our Christmas Dinner at The White Hart, Lower Horsebridge on 21st December was attended by 15 people who enjoyed the food and the company, Landlord Matt put on a great spread. It was a shame some folks didn't turn up as you missed a good night and we missed your company.

Our next scheduled event is our New Years Day Ride that will start from The White Hart car park at 1030 hrs on 1st January 2019. After a ride of about 26 miles we'll finish at The Custom Cafe on the A259 near Bexhill for a cuppa and a chat; hopefully get some further plans made for 2019. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Best Regards,

Roy.
