West Hoathly Garage, West Hoathly West Sussex

Karen and I are in the process of putting together an event for next year that hopefully will be of considerable interest.

The event would be a visit to The West Hoathly Garage in West Sussex followed by a lunch at a location to be confirmed.

This garage has specialised in the rebuilding and servicing of historic Rolls Royce, Bentley and Packard cars through three generations of the Dene family. There are many unique vehicles and in some cases the cars are being totally rebuilt. Some of the cars have illustrious histories.

The Garage has changed little since the twenties and has never undertaken car club visits neither do they advertise their services. There are about 30 amazing vehicles to be viewed and the two owners have agreed to show you the cars and discuss work being carried out.

They have also agreed to clear their car park area for our Morgan’s which will  provide a great picture opportunity in an area where there is very little parking.

There will have to be a limit on numbers….. 25/ 30 members for safety reasons with no more than about 18/20 Morgans, so a second event will be organised for the following week.

West Hoathly Garage, West Hoathly West Sussex
We have met the owners of the West Hoathly Garage and they have agreed to an additional date of Wed 15th May at 10.30 am.This allows us to accommodate those that have already expressed interest and any other members who would like to come.
We will need to balance numbers for each date. For those that have already registered their interest for the 8th May we will allocate this date to the first members who replied (about 15 cars). The remainder and any additional members will go forward to the 15th May with at least 10/15 cars. As a reminder they are moving their classic cars to provide us with car parking in front of the garage.
So we will run two separate events. We are organising lunch for both groups which is likely to be at Tulleys Farm nearby and last used by us in 2022. This worked very well with reasonable food prices and plenty of parking.

Haywards Heath Golf Club, Lindfield West Sussex
Our Spring Lunch this year is more of a summer lunch because, due to clashes with other events, it will now take place on Sunday 9th June.  It will be held at Haywards Heath Golf Club, where we have enjoyed ourselves before.
Further details will be provided in future, but in the meantime it is a date for the diary.

Pevensey Castle, Westham West Sussex
We have agreed a provisional date of Thursday, 18th July although if necessary it could be one day earlier.  There will be a small charge to anyone of £6.80 who is not a member of English Heritage but this will include our having a guide for about 60 to 90 minutes.
Confirmation of the date will be advised as soon as it is arranged, as will other details such as car parking.
I have also booked nothing but fine weather.
