Event West Sussex chod assembly - Whiteways Cafe Arundel, Sat 25th August @ 2pm

[dozeydustman]

As I was unable to make the local mini-meet in April and shitefest this year in my 6 months membership, is there anyone in the south coast area fancy meeting up mid-late August?

I know a nice spot near Chichester with good views over the South Downs which has a burger van & Mr Softee parked up most days, I will also be able to throw an BBQ at dustbin towers in the evening for those who don't have nagging wives inclined provided we go past Aldi on the way back and the gathering is smollish! You can also drool over Mrs D's V-reg Corolla

[coalnotdole]

I'm nearby, LA. - none of my shite is working at the moment though and i work odd hours.

[danthecapriman]

Yeah, I suppose I could drag my hairy arse out of the house for another southern meet-up. Count me in!

[Stanky]

Likewise, I'm just down the road in Fareham so would be good to see people again and meet some new faces.Late august will probably work better for me

[dozeydustman]

My initial idea of date was 27 or 28th august, most people would have been paid by then and thus can fill their steeds with motion lotion.

[Twiggy]

Yes - I would love to come.

[dozeydustman]

I'll find a couple more good spots locally which have deluxe* catering facilities and go for a late lunchtime meet-up. The Saturday is looking the more viable option as I noticed earlier Mrs D has pencilled something in on the calendar for the Friday. It may involve her getting drunk and me having to rescue her.

Seaside or country scenes - what's your preference?

No particular preference, I`m happy to leave it to your excellent judgement.

[danthecapriman]

I’m easy location-wise.

Anything on at Goodwood ... chod racing maybe

[dozeydustman]

Nothing seems to be on the website for the motor circuit, possibly a private meet or corporate function would be going ahead. 

The gee-gees will be racing that weekend as part of their bank holiday family weekender. Doubt we'll see a Dacia 1300 being towed by a horse a la Borat though.

 

The Spitfires may be out to play.

 

It's very likely one of the spots I had in mind for this meet up will be inundated with horsey types, so Goodwood Hill may be out of the running and "the Triangle" would possibly not have its vans if being used as overflow horsey parking. I can have a look along the A259 region either side of Chichester - say between Worthing and Pompey should give us plenty of choice. Bracklesham and The Witterings will be bumper to bumper traffic. Plenty of time to find somewhere over the next week or two.

[FakeConcern]

I'd be up for a meet if I'm (Mrs Concern hasn't arranged anything) free. Not bothered about location.

[mitsisigma01]

Anywhere on the coast will be busy weather dependent, and Portsdown hill will be rammed with people that couldn't be arsed to go to the coast !

What about Goring Gap? No idea on traffic though when it's busy

[mitsisigma01]

Is that by the cafe ?

Just a big grass triangle by the beach with nothing much around. Good spot for a BBQ and dogs are allowed on the beach.

[mitsisigma01]

I'm sure there is a cafe on top of the sea wall bit ?

[dozeydustman]

Good suggestion. A259 along there can get a bit horrendous at a weekend especially as you approach Worthing. Assuming you meant Goring by Sea as opposed to Goring on Thames.

 

I also had in mind a little place north of Arundel on the A29 which has plenty of parking plus a cafe; popular with the local motorcyclists 

[mitsisigma01]

Bury Hill .... near Amberley museum , full of assorted chod

[mercrocker]

That's within range of my off-duty meandering.   Should be around late August, too.  

[Jooks]

Could possibly come along, depends on work rota. I'm in Littlehampton.

[mitsisigma01]

Hi Jooks ,How busy does it get early evening down by the crab shack on a summery august Saturday?

[mitsisigma01]

Or free parking after 6pm on west green by the harvester

[DodgeRover]

Guaranteed There will be a monstrous queue for Fred's fish and chips....

[mitsisigma01]

I've always had Oscars myself

[Jooks]

Or free parking after 6pm on west green by the harvester

Varies, suggest avoiding the Harvester,believe it's free after 6pm. 

[Jooks]

I've always had Oscars myself

Me too.Not a fan of Freds.

[nigel bickle]

Sure, if I can - I will

 

I'm local ( when upright & uk'd) -Yapton, so can go most places.

[mitsisigma01]

If it's happening earlier than 6 we might have to resort to Lidl's car park ! Or hope for shitty weather then the traffic wardens don't go out much

[mitsisigma01]

Didn't mean to go in the harvester, although it used to be ok years back when I had my daily 4 hour lunch breaks
