Bexhill Beach Party 2003
July 7, 2008 · Print This Article
On the beach at Bexhill one Saturday afternoon in August. That is where Funkysmart, thesmartclub, Sussex Smarts and a few S2Crew members got together to have a beach party as a post “Billing” get together.
Organised by Tom Crawford, a Bexhill local, many that attended traveled from the north and east to attend, camping over night on a local campsite while one or two sort the comforts of a local B&B.
Berkshire, Sussex and Kent were represented and I myself traveled up for the day from Hampshire. The plan was simple, evening BBQ on the beach, convoy (tube) through nearby Eastbourne at 9 pm and back to the beach for further BBQ, games and a few drinks. [pay]
Well it all went well until Tom got in to a water fight and we were late for the convoy. Once he had dried off we were on our way, some 25 smarts in total, what a sight as we hit the streets of Eastbourne.
People stopped and waved or just stared. Having pasted trough Eastbourne on the sea front we parked up and got ready to turn around for the return to the beach back the way we came. This was my cue to fall to the back of the convoy (tube) and leave for home. We started back and a few of the tail enders got separated from the many convoy as I disappeared of down the A27 home.
With only two people in the convoy (tube) having walkie-talkies and one of them being me it had been difficult holding things together. Tom, leading us had not managed to get a walkie-talkie as planned.
The following day I checked on the state of play back at Bexhill. The lost smarts had been found and made it back to the beach OK. From all accounts the party continued in the small hours and a good time was had by all.
It had been a great day out for me, meeting friends and making new ones while putting faces to those that use the club message boards. A big thank you to Tom and I hope we can all do it again next year.
