The Sussex Steam Engine Club was created in 1993 by a small group of locally based enthusiasts. Their belief that Engine Owners, Operators and supporters would welcome the opportunity to promote their interest in Steam preservation has been fully rewarded by the flourishing club that we have today with nearly 200 Members.
Our Members come from all walks of life and are not restricted to Sussex alone. We are proud to include subscribers from many parts of the UK as well as Europe, the USA and South Africa. Whatever your interest in steam you can always be assured of a warm welcome.
We support many events across the country with engines sometimes travelling great distances to promote the glory of our steam heritage. They can frequently be seen providing the power for fairground equipment, saw benches, thrashing machines and ploughing demonstrations. The Club Road-run on the first Sunday in October each year regularly attracts over 20 engines to the leafy lanes of Sussex.
We do not overlook the social aspect of our hobby either, with regular monthly meetings throughout the winter months where everyone can keep in touch and rekindle their energy for the next rally season. Family members are also very welcome and we are particularly pleased to see current engine drivers, men and women, who were introduced to the great world of steam by their parents.
A quarterly magazine “Steam News” records events and gives helpful hints to engine operators and the chance for Members to ask questions and recount their own experiences.
