Outmeetings

In addition to our annual display, as a Society we also attend Outmeetings hosted by other societies in the villages and towns around Sussex and Kent.  Starting on the first Saturday in September and continuing every Saturday evening until late November – and sometimes even early December – you will see a group of us marching  in procession through the streets and lanes.

We also, of course, join in the processions in Lewes itself on 5th November and have marched with Waterloo, Borough, Cliffe, Commercial Square and Southover Bonfire Societies over the years.

Transport for members to Outmeetings is usually provided by a 14 seat minibus, courtesy of the Lions in Uckfield. This minibus is supplemented by private cars, taxis or an additional minibus, as demand requires.

Anyone requiring transport to an Outmeeting needs to make their booking by 10pm on the Friday one week prior to the event,via email or our OUTMEETINGS 2024 Whatsapp group. They also need to have made the NON-REFUNDABLE payment for transport by BACS transfer into the ILHBS Account, with an appropriate reference. Bookings are secured once the payment has been made. The Whatsapp group will be used to manage a list of passengers for each Outmeeting. Changes to bookings must be notified in writing via email, text or WhatsApp message by 5pm on the date of the out-meeting at the latest

The cost per person, per Outmeeting, for the 2024 Season will be £6.
