I think it really rude and socially inept to discuss the making of plans or past socialisations in front of those that are uninvited to participate. There is no excuse for this. It is all very 'high school'. It is actually quite cruel.

I've written before, blistering commentary, on the social dynamics of my support group. The short version is that there exists a divide between the 'in-crowd' and those apparently unworthy to be included.

Recently, this split has been emphasized by the inexcusable behaviour and social ineptitude of those in the 'in-crowd' reminiscing each week about all that occurred outside the Group meetings. This includes a coffee date they all have with one another immediately following the weekly support group. Look, unless everyone present is invited to participate it is classless to be organising the coffee break in front of them. How excruciatingly painful too it must be for those uninvited to hear about the trips to the bars and other outings. As an example, instead of discussing matters pertaining to mental health, the ostracised group had to sit there for an hour listening to the back and forth reminiscing of a recent group fishing trip. This is disgustingly out of line and mean.
