We've been asked to take our "boom boxes" along, so at least they'll get an airing!! Rotherfield said Hastings are taking there's too, and I assume Newick will take the good old pug mixer along. So it will be nice to hear some tunes played at last!!!!!

V

Boom Boom

Stew

Is it a proper bonfire or a carnival?

V

There was a steam engine there last year so I dont know if it counts as a float or not Laughing

forrest

Well they are going to have decorated floats so I guess you could class it as a carnival. Anyway onto some important information for visiting societies.

No rookies to be dropped in the procession, however boom boxes are allowed. Also no consuming of alcohol in the procession while it is moving. There will be a designated area for societies on the firesite - more commonly known as a play pen Wink

Parking will be in the field at Milk Lodge Farm - the usual place. Roads will be closed from 7pm.

The procession will form up at 7.30pm at Milk Lodge and move off at 7.45pm. It will then stop at Town Row for a 20 minute break.

10.00pm Procession arrives at firesite for bonfire & fireworks.

No rookies to be dropped in the procession, however boob boxes are allowed.

We are allowed rookies, just not in procession. They have a play pen, or designated area for letting them off on the firesite Very Happy
