⚠️ ADVANCE WARNING OF LOUD NOISE ⚠️

Robertsbridge Bonfire Society will be supporting the Royal British Legion at the war memorial for remembrance on:

• Sunday 8th November at midday
• Wednesday 11th November at 11am

On both occasions, a loud maroon will be fired to signal the start of the two-minute silence, and another at the end.

Thank you for your understanding as we come together to remember.

Dearest Ewhurst and Staplecross Bonfire Society

The rumour mill suggests your Chairman wanted to end his five-year reign in a blaze of glory…
Whispers of Scorcher setting fire to the Cross, followed by not one but TWO nee-nahs…honestly for Fawkes sake some people will do anything for attention!!

Anyway, onto the important bit…

Bonfire er****on ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A few sparse faggots and a slightly disappointing girth, We’ve seen fuller er****ons, but you got it up and that counts.

Big booms ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Felt those in our bowels, will bring spare pair of pants next time

Carnival parade ⭐⭐⭐ - We walked 500 miles… and we’d aged 15 years by the end.

Atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Absolutely banging

Jam "conserves" ⭐⭐ only two stars due to lack of marmalade

Breakfast ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🍳 🍳

Weather ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Perfect

As little village bonfires go, yours was delightfully fabulous. You gave us the big bang we needed!!

Same time next year?! 🤡

Toodle pip 🔥

For Fawkes Sake...

Alright, alright… the reviews have been a bit scarce this year. It’s almost like we’ve got lives outside of dressing up and playing pretend Guy Fawkes.....

But fear not! Here’s a little round-up of our Senlac tour so far… 🔥

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

NORTHIAM.....you never disappoint 🔥

The gentle introduction we need to wheel out the dusty old monks, check the robes still fit and shake off last year’s mud. Some of it is structural at this point.

Bonfire er****on ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - stood proud. Lovely girth.
Fireworks ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - no Catherine wheel, sad times.
Friendly and welcoming ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Procession placement ⭐⭐⭐ - a little too close to Battel, but thankfully not on the naughty step this year
Weather ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Splendid effort, Highwaymen. Same time next year?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

HASTINGS.....our coastal cousins 🌊
Well, that was a rather marvellous evening. Sea air, fire and questionable behaviour in historical clothing. What’s not to love?

Atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fireworks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - you had a Catherine wheel you got the memo.
Procession placement ⭐⭐ - behind Sambalanco, who swayed so much we nearly needed travel sickness tablets. We came for bonfire, not a bloody cruise.
Bonfire er****on ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - a very respectable coastal st**fy.
Effigy noise ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - did a little wee. No further questions.

We loved the hospitality, the crowds and the whole event. A sterling effort…and the banner made it home, which is more than we can say for everyone’s dignity.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

NINFIELD....you absolute legends! ❤️
Stupid, stupid storm. A big fat bully that barged in uninvited and dropped a massive wet fart all over your hard work.

Weather: 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

YOU LOT: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Because even without your own night, you’re always out supporting your Senlac family and helping everyone else make theirs happen.

Bloody fantastic people. You deserved your night, and we’re sending you a massive, slightly damp, monk-shaped hug. 🔥

Hopefully that's us caught up until tomorrow....Ewhurst & Staplecross tonight for some clowning around 🤡

💥💥💥SAY NO TO GLOW💥💥💥

The street pedlars that sell the awful expensive flashy lights, would turn up uninvited, they would be verbally and physically abusive when asked to leave our event, they have not once contributed in any way to our night, and they leave huge amounts of broken torches for us to clear away.
But most importantly we as event organisers have not given them permission to be there.
Since making our torches we have not had any pedlars try to attend, let's continue to keep them away.

By buying our Fairy lights torches you are directly supporting Robertsbridge Bonfire Society.
We have made some of our own fairy light torches if you would like to purchase a torch they will be available to buy from THE FLORALBOUTIQUE LTD from Monday.
All monies raised will go directly to the bonfire society and will be reusable for many years to come.
