The Southern Softies group meet ups

[Doctor T]

How about putting the Northern monkey group to shame.forum members from Sussex, Hampshire, and Surrey How about a regular meet-up around these areas? Would be great to put some faces to the names. Weather permitting. Anyone interested, please reply with your forum handle and where you are based.

I'm close to Gatwick.

I've heard of the Departure cafe as that's where the BMW club has meet-ups. The others are new to me. Been to Barnstormers but never saw a cafe. It was a ride pass though.

Wessons at Horam closed a while back.

Close to there is the Butchers Hook cafe. That's worth a visit.

[Doctor T]

So we have a good selection for the non freezing months.
Didn't know Wessons was closed. I thought Goodwood Aerodrome cafe was just for members.
