Sussex Branch
Welcome to the Old Southeronians'
Association - Sussex Branch
​
We hold a variety of social events during the year in East Sussex, West Sussex and beyond.
Details of forthcoming social
get-togethers are shown below.
Sussex Branch
Sussex Socials
​We meet up for coffee/tea and a light lunch, both of which are provided free of charge, except at Burgess Hill. Venues are Newhaven, Hampden Park, Lancing and Bognor Regis Railway Clubs. Please feel free to bring an item for the raffle, and please buy some raffle tickets upon arrival, as this is how we fund future events. Members may bring their partner or one other guest.

Kent Socials
Informal ‘Get-togethers’ have been arranged at Wetherspoon pubs in Kent from 12.00hrs onwards. These are not organised events. You are welcome to just turn up and join the group for a chat and a drink in a friendly atmosphere, and lunch too if you want, all at your own expense.
Members from all branches are very welcome.
Enjoying each other's company
Some months we have get-togethers in pubs where our regulars, including former regular ramblers who aren't so mobile nowadays, enjoy getting together for a chat and a bite to eat (at own expense).
Details of all our branch events, appear in Sussex Branch newsletters, sent out to subscribing members by post and/or email.

Our Outings and Theatre Trips
We enjoy occasional group outings to locations around London and the South East, enjoying discounted group rate admission prices and sometimes refreshments too. We don't travel by coach; to keep the cost down we make our separate own ways to venues by public transport.
​
Details of forthcoming outings are publicised in our branch newsletters. You can bring guests to ALL of our outings, including friends and family of all ages if you wish.
Matinee Club​
We love going to the theatre to see all sorts of shows. Especially musicals! We get great discounts on ticket prices by going as a group. Most ticket offers are in London's West End, but sometimes we visit local theatres in Sussex, especially our favourite, Chichester Festival Theatre.
Our one rule? It must be a MATINÉE PERFORMANCE!
​
If you're interested in going to the theatre with us, whether in London's West End or more locally in Sussex, just let us know. We send out details of ticket offers by email free of charge, or you can elect to receive details by post by providing us with some stamps or SAEs. You can bring as many guests as you like too - all are welcome.
