Dear Everyone,
On Sunday 25th. May from 3.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. there
will be a dwyle-flunking match in Harveys Brewery yard, Cliffe High Street,
Lewes, between teams from the Lewes Arms and the Cliffe Bonfire Society. John
(Yogi) Allen of Brighton Morris will be leading the music on melodeon and
extra musicians will be more than welcome to fill out the sound. Free beer is
attached to this.
The match is part of 'Cliffe Independence Day,' an amusing fund-raising
and social event organised by Cliffe Bonfire Society. The entire Cliffe area
will become an independent state for a day, with border checks at Cliffe
Bridge and a variety of other entertainments and stalls. It was very good fun
last year.
If you'd like to take part, let me know. Spare Parts are playing at the
Chippenham Festival that week-end, but I'm co-ordinating the musicians. Please
note that although there is free beer attached there isn't a loo at the yard:
you can use the John Harvey Tavern's across the road, though.
Tootle pip,
Valmai
