There are members and there are LEGENDS. Thank you to everyone who swam/punted/rowed to the firesite today for the big clean up in ‘damp’ conditions 🙇‍♀️ MORE MEMBER HELP is still needed 9-12 tomorrow. It’s the final push! 🙏 #southoverbonfiresociety

The Big Fifth has arrived! The weather may not be cooperating but we’ve kept our powder dry and we see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot!#southoverbonfiresociety will be out in force at #lewesbonfire. With thanks to @lewes_police @EastSussexFRS @SJA_Sussex 🔥

[Southover Bonfire @SouthoverLewes]

ONE day to go! Wow. It takes a lot of flaming fabulous volunteers who help keep #southoverbonfiresociety going all year and make it a night to remember, remember. So a big shout out to everyone pitching in. 🙏

Pyro Pan Pipes 🧨 🎵 Our firesite team were hard at work yesterday getting everything ready for the Fifth. But there’s always time for an instrumental interlude by the Archbishop on the firing cylinders. #donttrythisathome
