Sorry but I disagree.
Small off-shoot meets will just dilute the monthly meets.
We try to stick to monthly.
Sometimes a bigger event may take priority over the monthly for several reasons.
- It falls at the same time or within 1 week of a monthly.
- Attendance will be low at the monthly because of the above.
- Attendance wiil be low at the event due to the monthly.
If you look back through the calendar/events page/events photos you will see we have had 1 or more gatherings per month (be it a meet or event) for all of 2013 & 2014.
Personally I have just cut back on attendace in the last few weeks as it has been busy time during April/May/June.
The next meet will be at 'The Anchor', Barcombe Mill (10 mins from Ringmer/Lewes), 20 mins from Eastbourne) :

- Probably one of the nicest pub venue's in the area
- Ice cream kiosk
- Boating on the river
Big "E" is arranging this, I beleive for 16th August.
This date has been chosen due to the following week being August Bank Holiday. The Bank holiday is avoided as this venue will too busy. SES members are then free to do there own/family thing on the Public Holiday, without the worry of missing an event/meet.
