None that I know of, but I have fond memories of 'Anime Anonymous' back in Aberdeen. No cosplay, but much drink, import VCDs and ripped SNES games were had by all. I'll follow this post to see how you get on.
You wish to post your Gamertag/PSN ID if you're into online gaming - I've spent some time on Halo and MW2 with local lads.

But do you think there should be a club speacialising in that area, oh if you dont mind me askinghow did you get in to anime and gaming.

I think a local club is not a bad idea - Lewes is certainly up for this kind of thing. You may get a better response re: Anime than gaming, as in my experience most people see it as *below* them. I've been playing and enjoying games in all their forms since the late 70's, and consider them at the very least equal to more established entertainment like books, movies etc.
Got into Anime through Akira and Castles of Cagliostro! Had friends that were real fans in the offshore industry who got into importing. Just grew from there. Now Im a regular visitor to kotaku.com and penny-arcade.com.

Then i shall, create the first ever anime and games club lewes has ever since, ok i tried atmosphric route as i'm typing and i'm guessing it didn't work lol.
But yes i think first i create some draw up plans first and a mock up on facebook
so i can offical updates i'll send you the link to it once it's up and runnning,
all so it would be good for some arrangements for a groupof people to come together to a pub or cafe to dicuss features and datesand times.
Sound good ?

Sounds like a plan - most of the pubs will offer you free or low cost space to meet. Elephant & Castle, upstairs at the Royal Oak, Lewes Arms - all good choices.
