Winter Revels – Saturday 2nd February 2019

The snow kept clear of Goring-by-Sea, so 51 of us arrived at Jupp’s Barn for our best Winter Celebration yet. The new venue is perfect for us and the heating system really works. Thank you to everyone who came and joined in with the food and fun. The tables were overflowing with delicious offerings. After the bring and share feast, we were entertained by lots of singers; so thank you to Richard B, Julie O, Dave W, and a select group of Whispering Woods, to our wordsmith, Amaryllis, and to Leigh for sharing the photograph of her Great-great grandfather who lived at Jupp’s Farm and most probably worked in the barn and then sat and sang outside with the others when harvest was home. Dave and Sue, Alan and Anne and Keith accompanied their various songs on guitars, whistles, mandolin and melodeon before providing some dance tunes so that Emily could “teach” the majority of us some country dance steps. The evening came to an end all too soon but then we have to remember that some of the group had travelled from further up the Arun and Adur valleys and from Petersfield in the West to Saltdean in the East and wanted to be home before midnight.
