thread_title:  Chronology of 2008 events 

message: I am proposing that much of the section in the Lewes article on the Bonfire be included here, since it does state that it is the "focal point". It will give more details of what this is all about; which seems to be somewhat of an assumption in this article. There would be a short ref to this article then. Please let me know your thoughts on my talk page Peter Shearan (talk) 16:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Bonfires without their own celebrations:
- Vines Cross
- Whatlington Renegades (usually share Battle's night)
- Maresfield Bonfire & Carnival
- Merrie Harriers (Herstmonceux)(have a night sometime)
- Five Ashes (recently formed in 2000)
- Who The Devil Are We? (A small group of people dressed as devils and angels visiting other nights)
These societies usually only visit other nights without a night of their own (however I'm not too sure about Five Ashes. Merrie Harriers had theirs on Friday 26th October last year, so I'm not too sure.
Inactive societies:

thread_title: REAL Chronology of 2008 events

message: I was under the impression that the Bonfire Societies of Sussex were formed following the failed invasion of England by the Spanish Armada in 1588. In the run-up to the invasion, many of the towns were tasked with maintaining bonfires which were to be lit upon first sighting of the invasion (each town would keep a look out for its neighbouring bonfire) thus giving London an early warning system. Following the invasion, many towns decided to commemorate the event by forming permanent societies.
Does anyone know the veracity of this version of events?Normalmouth (talk) 09:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
