Stanmer Park (near Falmer)
Sunday 22nd September 2019

The Brighton Permaculture Trust's Festival helps fill this traditional theme for us this year, albeit straight after Bognor.

We will be singing two sets, appropriately in the Orchard alternately with 'Whispering Woods' and probably others.

Fourteen singers so far have volunteered for the day.

Tina has kindly volunteered to lead us so a spirited rendition, as at Firle, can be looked forward to.

Dress as Bognor sans the nautical theme.

Additional volunteers for the day please contact John C. at southdownsfolksingers@gmail.com
