February 2026 Sandyballs' fall!

Hi All,

Bit of a disaster. I had a fall at home and have damaged my tibia. Needs an op.Am currently in A&E Brighton waiting transferred to the ward

Can you email the NERDS and tell them the news. Obviously I cannot make the ramble. Might be an idea to postpone? Please let me know what you think.

Also include the Bish.

Will keep you posted. No booze involved in the accident!

2026 February Ramble arrangements

Hi all,

We are due to meet next Wednesday 25th for our two pub crawl/ mini non - ramble in Glynde, First visiting The Trevor Arms (which opens at 12 noon) and then crossing the railway tracks to The Steamworks for lunch.

So the Seaford contingent should take the 11.24 service to Lewes which arrives at 11.41. There we repair to The Runaway Cafe on Platform 2 for a half-hour or so for a coffee or a little drop of whatever you fancy. Onward train to Glynde departs at 12.14.

I shall probably book a table at The Steamworks for (perhaps optimistically) 5 persons.

Hope to see y'all on the day. No Admiral this time. He and Jan plan to be sunning themselves in Barbados!

Dave, see you in the cafe.
Regards
Harry

February 2026 initial arrangements

So, February 2026 has arrived and we are looking forward to Valentine’s Day and Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) and Chinese New Year!

Sandyballs has sent out the following message:-

Last month's idea to go to Gynde 
didn't really work. Shall we have another go this month? I am looking at Wednesday 25th. Let me know if that is a problem for anyone.
Cheers
Harry

January's cancellation for 2026

Some days ago I sent you a message about a suggested non-ramble to Glynde on 28/1. I had two replies.

I would not have thought there was too much effort involved in pushing the 'REPLY' button

and typing a few words.








Anyway I think it would be best to postpone this any other similar trips to later in the year. No meeting on 28/1.

Regards

Harry

A January 2026 'Ramble' arrangement.

About time we got together for another non-ramble. How about this? A mini pub crawl between the two rival pubs in Glynde? Possibly the shortest pub crawl/ ramble in history. I would think a combined distance of - oh- a couple of hundred yards from one side of the tracks to another.

I suggest we go first to The Trevor for a drink then actually eat at The Steamworks, where the food is more reasonably priced. The Trevor supposedly now brew their own beer but I am a bit sceptical about that. We will see.

When though? How about Wednesday 28th Jan ? If that is a problem for anyone please let me know and we can think again, possibly.

Let me know anyway

Cheers
Harry

Happy New Year 2026

 

Wishing all our readers a happy and prosperous New Year for 2026.

The rumour mill suggests that there will be a ramble this January 2026!

Here in Pyrénées-Oriental we have just had a weeks continuous rain which has filled up the rivers but luckily not produced the floods which have occurred in Spain. We are now looking forward to sunshine for a prolonged time.

Regards to all and we wish you all well.

Keep in touch,

Regards

Further on in December 2025

As there is no NERDS ramble or even a Christmas lunch BT decided to celebrate his 25th Wedding Anniversary in Gothenburg with Helen. Not spending all December in Sweden but returning to France for Christmas to be with Morgane, Denzel and Wesley.

Further updates later depending upon world events!

BT.
