Race Night

November 2001: Race Night in full swing

The Club held another successful Race Night, this time at Warden Park School in Cuckfield.
Well over £2,000 was raised for Headway Hurstwood Park in the process.

A Ramble round Lewes

John Davey's guided tour
of some of Lewes's famous pubs

Cheers!

Club members strayed from the Bent Arms on 25 September and tried a few beers in The Crown, The Lamb, The Lewes Arms and The Royal Oak, before repairing with only the merest hint of unsteadiness to The White Hart (an inn since 1717) for supper

After a buffet supper in the Sheriff's Room upstairs and another drink or two, Miles Janner — Master Brewer and joint Managing Director of Harvey's Brewery — entertained members with some of the highlights of the Lewes brewery's long history in the town

For the first time we entertained visitors from both our link clubs in France and Germany during the last weekend in September

Our German friends from Karlstadt-Arnstein arrived on Friday afternoon and enjoyed a splendid barbecue at Liz and Alan Robinson's in the evening

On Saturday we were joined by the French contingent from Laval Ambroise Paré and we all spent the morning on a tour of Windsor Castle, followed by lunch in Monty's Restaurant in Eton, and after that a look round some of the attractions of Windsor and Eton. In the evening we had dinner at the Birch Hotel in Haywards Heath

We toured Wakehurst Place at Ardingly on Sunday morning and the visit ended with lunch at the Ravenswood Country Inn at Sharpthorne. Here are a few pictures taken at the dinner on Saturday evening

Bonus Picture!

Sunday 30 September was also a day for joint celebations when it was discovered that President Cameron Sharp and Past President Willibald Niklaus shared the same birthday

Any excuse to open another bottle of bubbly ....
