Skittles and Traditional Pub Games Evening

We will be holding a skittles tournament, not knockout, so everyone gets the same number of games. When your team is not playing you can try your hand at several traditional pub games such as bagatelle and shove ha'penny. Everyone will get a score card and there will be a prize for the winner. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30 start. A light supper will be provided and, of course, a bar. Teams of four, tickets are £7.00 each and must be pre-booked from Sue 01825 723699.

Car Boot and Plant Sale

Collection for Good Causes 2011

We collected £2,894.94 in our buckets and tins on Newick Bonfire Night. So far we have distributed:
Newick Brownies £300
Motor Neurone £124.50
St Peter & St James £256.49
Golden Lions £322.66
Happy Breed Dogs £439.13
Mid Downs Radio £557.94
EG Burns Unit £200
Christmas Tree £25, which we decorated with lights and installed on The Green. We are proud to have raised nearly £3,000 for good causes but it has been estimated that there were about 6,000 people watching on the night, that works out at less than 50p per person. Surely our amazing procession and spectacular firework display are worth more than that?

Join Newick Bonfire Society

By joining Newick Bonfire Society and becoming an active member you can help to create the amazing spectacle that is Newick Bonfire Night. New members are always made to feel welcome and helping to organise our Bonfire Night isn't just hard work, it's fun and exciting.

Prior to the night you could be involved in setting up The Green, making and dipping the 4000 torches required for our amazing torchlit processions, collection of bonfire materials and helping to build one of the only traditionally built bonfires in Sussex.

Then on the night running torches, stewarding, crowd marshalling and being part of this amazing tradition.

However being part of one of the best Bonfire Societies in Sussex isn't all hard work. Other weekends during the Bonfire season we dress up and become part of the torchlit processions ourselves, visiting other societies' celebrations throughout Sussex including Lewes on the 5th.

Extra help is always needed with fundraising events such as coffee mornings, jumble sales and discos etc.

So whether you're young or old - everyone can become involved. Click HERE for more information on joining the society and our GALLERY where you can see past events and activities.
