On Saturday July 30th you can see and hear us at the Weald and Downland Living Museum - singing songs about the life and work of South Downs folk, as our contribution to the museum's "LAMMAS" week-end event. We will be singing at the North Cray house at 11.30 a.m. and again at 1.30 p.m.
Lammas being "loaf mass", from times when bread made of grain from the early harvest was blessed and celebrated in church. Harvest festival, as we still know it, came later in the year when harvesting for the rest of the growing season was finished and 'home'.
Be mindful of the extra traffic likely from the nearby Goodwood race meeting this week-end - but not daunted by that, we look forward to seeing you at the Museum for another sunny sing in the South Downs!
(Details of our future events, and our regular meetings, later in August and into September, and beyond, can be found on the Diary Dates page of this Blog.)
