Understood, this is just one place the event is posted, there are a number under social media. I post it here to see if any interest and you indeed are the only person who has replied. Please be assured there are a number of people who have indicated their intention to attend. I shall be there from around 0830 am, but there is no time limit and plenty of adequate free hardstanding parking.

The is our first attempt at a meeting in this location, unfortunately as we know the Torque Cafe at Horsham decided on the day they no longer wanted car meets and now it is alleged have introduced a membership scheme and payment which a voucher can be redeemed in the cafe. Personally I will never return or advise anyone to do so, their arrogance astounds me.

I am with you there Norman, I turned up at the last meet at the Torque Cafe around 1030hrs to be met by someone I now know to be the owner.
He told me there was no room and suggested I turn round and go , he then relented and said there might be a space in the overflow carpark.
I found a space in the main car park with no problem, I then saw Ashok drive in to the overflow carpark, but was able to direct him to a space near me.
I shall never go again, I wonder how many other people he managed to annoy, some business model

Despite the best efforts of the BBC Weather forecast, which turn out to be 100% wrong we had a very good turn out of 25 BMW cars and One guest in a VW.

It rained, stopped and then rained . However plenty of those who attended said they enjoyed it and the food was acceptable.
