Lewes Bonfire Celebrations

Remember, remember the fifth of November. The gunpowder Treason and Plot.

On 5th November, the Band took part in the Bonfire celebrations in Lewes with the Waterloo Bonfire Society.

With the first procession moving off at 6:20pm and the last procession not finishing until 9:45pm it was a very long night for the Band, but one that all the members enjoy every year.

We have taken part with Waterloo Bonfire Society for many years since the Band was reformed in 1986 and look forward to continuing taking part in years to come.

Newick Bonfire

Saturday 31st October saw the Band taking part in the bonfire celebrations at Newick. This is the second year the Band has been asked to perform in the celebrations, and it is a long night especially for the younger members.

The first procession of the night was the childrens procession which moved off at 6:15pm making it's way to the village green, where we had a short break before the formation of the main procession which moved off at 7:30pm.

The main procession looped around the village, making it's way to the village green, where we dropped out for our second break of the night as the procession continued around the village for a second time arriving back at the village green for the bonfire and firework display.

At 9:30pm we formed up for our last parade of the night, from the village green to the village hall and back to the bonfire.
