We’re just over four weeks away from British Summer Time, I’ve ironed my mankini and dusted of the flip flops and I’m ready for a Summer of sunshine and fun. Only problem is every year I hear about an event in Sussex and think �� I’ll do that next year and always forget.

Naturally Festival of Speed, Revival and Madehurst Big Night Out are etched in my memory but what are the other Sussex “must do’s” this Summer, with dates please if you have them. Thanks in advance NSC Trip Advisers!

You'll be fine. Mankini and flip flops are just the thing at the Festival of Speed. You'll blend in with the crowd perfectly......................

Sussex stakes Wednesday 1st of August at Glorious Goodwood. We go every year although it wasn’t so glorious last year - it lashed down all day.

Sydney .
That's hell for us here as we will be 9 hours ahead then, makes staying up for the Saturday kick offs a bit harder.

No it doesn't, it makes life much easier !!

In Sydney (when we go off Daylight Saving a week later), Sat 3pm K.O will be Midnight rather than 2.am.
Perth would be an hour earlier, 10.pm instead of 11.pm.

Quick tip, don’t iron you mankini whilst you are wearing it!

But British winters are bleak. Even later this week they're forecasting snow. I can't wait until BST. The best thing of the year. Lovely when it starts getting dark from 7.30pm onwards and can eat my dinner outside with the smell of freshly cut grass. :)

That's just what I thought! Need a tie though in the Kinara Club?

One of the best racing day's of the year, you're right! Thanks!
