It was a nice Rider, double doors, double sunroofs dark interior, lovely.

Yup, and a couple of new members who had only had there vans for a couple of weeks, so good to meet them too :)

Thinking caps on for another venue... Brighton way possibly if anyone knows a good venue over that way?
 
Yes, a more easterly venue for the next one perhaps. My suggestion would be The Hummingbird Restaurant at Brighton City Airport.

The Hummingbird Restaurant - Brighton City Airport, Shoreham

The Hummingbird is inside our terminal building with a large outside viewing deck. Serving all types of delicious food from lighter snacks to main meals.

Lots of parking, but it's pay and display.

Looks good, open early for the early risers like me to get there early and clean their van this time, lol

Hmmm, might need to do more digging on the parking availability, costs, max stay etc but looks great
 
It was great meeting everyone today!

There were so many different stories behind ownership and usage it was great to chat about all sorts and pick some of your brains. The departure lounge does a really mean cheese on toast, I will happily go back there again :)

I have found a lot more holiday ideas to plot with my "Elgrand"

Cheers @Claptrap for spotting the gaps (optional air intakes) on the roof rails:cool:

I've emailed Simon at the cafe to thank him for accommodating us so well at such a busy time.

If folk don't want to pay for parking I believe the car park at Brighton Marina is free and there are plenty of places to grab some tucker.

Great to meet you too, @stevemen might have a replacement set for a Rider if you call him during office hours and give him the year of your van :)

He went past and asked if everything was okay and I said it was superb and thanked him again for accommodating us. :)

Thanks for the nice comments about the Rider S, it will be an awesome car for someone!

Great to meet up with everyone... old acquaintances and new... great to see new Elgrand owners... even if they didn’t buy from me... lol
 
Was great to meet up even though I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it.. after three years of ownership I still get excited to see other elgrands and their owners new n old... always gain knowledge and hopefully show others what I have learnt over the last three years.. this club is built on its members and the only ever owners club I’ve joined.. like most I joined because I had questions that needed answers, still have questions but have more answers now... that was three years ago.. great to help fellow members get the most enjoyment out of their buses as they have helped me..choice in football teams is questionable though..new n old members and some fodder and the chance to drive daisey in the sunshine , pretty darn good Sunday morning..
