Eating at the Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill serves a varied pub menu, with most of the meals cooked in house by the resident chef, on our meetings so far the food has had a convincing thumbs up!

Sunday morning summer meets

For the last few years we have enjoyed a Sunday morning meet at Heaven Farm near Danehill. This popular event is moving, starting on 18th May we will be at Tulleys Farm, Turners Hill, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 4PE. Rather than the event being every first Sunday as before, the date will change to work around other events which we will be wanting to attend. Keep watching here, or look out for Simons emails. Look forward to seeing you there!

Some dates for your diary



Last and final call for tickets… 
Magnificent Motors, Eastbourne seafront  3rd/4th May.


We have six confirmed cars for both Saturday and Sunday.  This weekend is your last opportunity to get your spot before I pass the tickets back to Kent and East Sussex.
This event has been on our calendar for the last few years now and is a lovely mix of individuals and car clubs parked in front of the Grand Hotel and Lansdown Hotel in Eastbourne on the Western Lawns.
Unlike last year, the council are charging to help cover some costs, so it’s now £5 per car.
We have ten spaces each day on a twenty car stand shared with Kent and East Sussex section.
Please contact me if you are interested and I’ll arrange for payment etc.

Basingstoke Festival of Transport, Sunday 11th May
A new event to us last year, attended by club Chair Stan Bailey who gave a glowing report. A limited numbers event being supported by neighbouring sections to stand organisers Surrey section. As in previous years, there will be a huge range of vehicles on static display, including classic, vintage, commercial, fire engines and military trucks. There will also be a variety of specialist car clubs, trade stalls and catering outlets.
Cost is £10 per car, contact Anton Eve if you are interested.

John Shorrock has a ticket for sale if anyone is interested as he’s unable to make use of it.


Sunday 27th July 2025. New Bromley Pageant – The South of England Showground, Ardingly, West Sussex.

Open to any age of Alfa Romeo, this event has moved to a new home after a year off. This was to consider it’s future given that the original Bromley Pageant location was within the ULEZ charging zone. 
This promises to be a massive event given the location and hopefully a big event for Alfa Romeo fans with support from Kent and East Sussex,  Surrey and ourselves.
Please use code AroCKeS24 (the code is case sensitive) to book through eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bromley-pageant-of-motoring-clubs-tickets-961533932877
