Hi 

as you list location as East Sussex,  I thought I'd post some info on local clubs if you are interested

IPMS Mid Sussex, 

http://ipmsmidsussex.org.uk/diary/meetings
they are every 4 weeks, and on a Thursday.

This one I belong too, 

There is also the South Downs Model Group
http://southdownsmodelgroup.org.uk/

which shares some members, I've not been as I don't drive, and live in
Lewes, so depend on lifts,

There is also a East Sussex IPMS,
http://hailsham-district-scale-model-club.org/

they have build nights, I've not been along, but a friend goes.
Depends where you are live?

Hope of interest.

cheers
