I've been told I'm going to Littlehampton. I think we are going on the Waterloo bus if they can take a kiddies seat so that will teach Ashley a few new words and songs!

Yes we were informed  by several members of WBS that we were going on the Waterloo coach  to Littlehampton.
I always enjoy their night so its no great hardship

I'll be at Staplecross as I havent done that one yet. Done Littlehampton & Nevill, so time for a change.

bit of a shame, five different bonfire events on the one night, when there was a blank weekend on september 22nd !
looks like a bit more contact between various societies wouldn't go amiss next year - do the sussex bonfire council do nothing to stop this sort of situation arising ?

Don't forget that Eastbourne were due to be running on 22/09/07 so there would not have been a free weekend then if there council had done the decent thing and granted them the road closure to allow them to hold there first celebrations
Also various societies dates are historical and they would not be able to move... ie BHBS have traditionaly held their event on the last Sat in Sept for example

I think that's all water under the bridge now. They've been fed and seem to be much more subdued. So hopefully that will be the end of it. My understanding is that their Victorian military section will be all in Victorian Royal Navy attire for Littlehampton in recognition of the obvious maritime links.
They asked me to give you this

I shall be going to Ewhurst & Staplecross with the rest of Eastbourne. Sadly the prohibition on stripes at Littlehampton prevents us from attending else we'd alternate...

Never realised they didn't let you wear stripes at Littlehampton.

That's what I've told. All visiting societies have to be in costume. Something to do with Littlehampton being more of a carnival event apparently.
As a re-enactor I've spent a small fortune to get kitted up as a Norman man-at-arms and I just can't afford to get my own society's Pirate costume on top of that.

ok littlehampton will welcome any society to our celebration what the thing with stripes is that some members of the society don't like them full stop and have some idea on how they are not a bonfire costume so they don't want there members in stripes and are also convinced that if we start having stripes costumes will die out (but we be trying to get stripes for working duties eg marshalling (red and yellow))
but they cannot tell visiting societies what to wear so if you want to wear stripes go ahead also if you look the guy we ask to carry half of our fire banners is from burgesshill and wears there stripes the way i look at it personally is the more people and societies we have done the better as it is longer and more enjoyable for the crowds as the original liitlehampton motto said
OUR TRUE INTENT IS YOUR DELIGHT

I wondered why Newick was clashing with Battel this year, had they stayed on the last saturday in october like normal then none of the other society events would have had any visiting societies i suppose.

Newick always have their's the Saturday before the 5th, so some years it may be the last Sat in Oct or the first in Nov.
