Due to the fact that the administrators/owners cannot be bothered to alter the Main Page info (despite numerous requests - thank you for your efforts Gary)
I will not be posting any further meetings on this site, therefore......



Anne

Im not wanting to seem rude in anyway Anne so please forgive me if this does come across that way its not meant to. Its just a brief history lesson.

Sussex Branch was an off shoot from the S2crew way back in the day, because collectively that's what we became known as, there were 4 of us originally, myself, S2sosmart (Si), S2sounds (Carl) and S2S (YT, S2fluffy's other half) plus our respective others. As you can see, many of us arent around on the scene anymore, due to one reason or another. The website (www.sussexsmarts.co.uk) was purchased by Carl and the forum was set up by me, as a means to keep us all together and to have some where for us all to put are ideas down on what to do and which shows/functions we wanted to attend, hence the start of the Brekkie meet, the Monthly meet, which used to be at Devils Dyke and would normally fill the car park at the front of the building with a mass of modded and standard smarts alike before moving it to Peas pottage as a lot of us used to attend the Kent meet as well, so we moved it hoping that the Kent lot would visit us (pfft).

As you can see its because people keep joining on here is the reason that it keeps going, if it wasn't people like yourself and the continued support and eagerness of everyone on here then Sb would have died along with the S2crew and entered into the History books of Smart clubs in the UK. At the end of the day Carl purchased the website without taking any money for it so at the end of the day what he does with it is down to him, no one else, yes hes had offers from people wanting to take it of him, but at the end of the day, its his, he'll do with it as he pleases.

'But you still stay in touch' i hear you moan. lol, yes i still miss my Smart, yes you'll catch me eyeing up a Brab roady occasionally, but unfortunatley unless the Company in Watford want to give me back my beautiful self built Brabus Widestar back, then thats all i can do, for me its a case of been there, done that, thanks for the memories, and that unfortunatley is all they are now, no doubt the same for the rest of the original people, for me the Magic that was Smart 9yrs ago, has gone, to have been replace by a Subaru STi, then to my current Diesel Corsa. Im glad i was there for the early days, when Smarts were far and few between and it was the one car i had the most fun with.

Just because the web site hasnt been updated for a few years doesn't mean you should loose faith, SB was as much about the people as it was about car at the end of the day, i made more friends through here, than any other car club. If you ask Al on the orange board to update the details on there that may help ya cause.

If it wasn't for my constant training at weekends or work then i may eventually get to have a brekkie at the chalet cafe as after a couple of years i've forgotten how greasy it was.

What im trying to say in long winded route is, this was set up to serve a purpose which it has done for close on 9 years now, the people that it was set up for have had their fun with it, if people wish to continue with it, feel free, take it mould it, do what you want with it, but if it falls on its arse, so what, i had fun, the people that it was intended for had fun, and it falls into the land of distant memories, then thats what it'll be, but a bloody good one and with some friends for life thrown in with it.
