Yes, SMUG is unique. As you say, everyone is charming, friendly and extremely helpful –– and Sam is our secret weapon!
It is not a requirement that you live in Sussex to belong. There are SMUGGERS all over the world. I know of at least one in California. Keep safe and well, everyone. You are precious!

When we lived in Oxford, I was part of that group, but really pleased to find SMUG was even better for the 4 years we were back in Sussex. We're now Londoners, and LMUG is different again, not bad, but SMUG has some tried and tested charm, the friendliest most helpful community, and yes... Sam! Hope you're all safe and well.
