Don't be put off, just walk a little further up the high street (towards the prison from the town centre) and the crowds soon thin out.

Cliffe firesite tickets are sold out.

It is Borough on the hill.

Waterloo are nearest the town centre, behind Tescos.

Commercial Square off Landport Road, behind the Pells.

South Street off Railway Lane.

My garden backs on to the commercial square bonfire site so i shall be having a few mates over, bark up the barbeque and consume vast quantities of carlsberg export whilst watching the fireworks

Infact, we can see all the ariel firworks from all bonfire siyes from our garden

Anyone for a burger

My wife and a lot of mates are in the waterloo procession and i've just been to the firesite....it'll be VERY muddy due to the flood defence work which should finnish tomorrow.

It's going to be a real nice evening weather wise so i would expect it to be packed in Lewes, especially as it's on a friday too.

Just remember that if you are from out of town the societies don't really care if you see it or not.

To many bonfire members those that come to watch are just in the way, and they consider that if you were serious about bonfire you would join a society and walk on the 5th. You get a much better view at the fire site as well if you are in the procession.

The War Memorial is often the best place to see the processions but it gets very crowded.

Bring on the 5th, I can almost smell it now.

We're going by train when Ned finishes work.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

to busy for me

 

[Strike]

I have never been, but always wanted to having read about it. But I watched a police programe on the 2002 event there and it did look pretty busy. Also I don't have much money and live in Northern Sussex. So I give it a miss.

Just a bit of info for those wishing to travel via train to Lewes

Services will be EXTREMELY busy if you are travelling from Brighton/Seaford/Eastbourne/London after about 4pm.

Revenue Pretection Officers will be at all stations and tickets must be purchased BEFORE you travel.

A strict queing system will be in operation for trains departing Lewes all evening, and basically anyone trying to jump the queue won't be getting a train home.

Extra trains are running from Brighton.

Thank god I finish at 4pm.
