This weekend sees the bonfire. Please do come help build it on the Saturday as previous years have seen very few volunteers (more volunteers means less work!).
Have a browse through the newsletter for all the other events!HH 2013-11.pdf
Saturday, 2nd November, 12:00 to 16:00
We need some strong people on Saturday the 2nd of November to help build the bonfire. The last few years have only seen a few people turn up and it’s been hard work. So please come and help even if it’s for 20 minutes or so. If you have dry wooden items you would like to dispose of please bring it on the Saturday between the hours of 12:00 and 16:00. There will be people on the green that will direct you where to dump them onto the bonfire. Please do not bring wet or damp garden waste or anything that would better suited to a compost bin. These do not add to the bonfire and create a lot of backbreaking work.
Sunday 3rd November, 18:30
The HRA’s annual firework display is on Sunday 3rd November. The fireworks start at 18:30 on the Millennium Green followed by the bonfire.
Admission is £5 for adults and free for Children (a proportion of the gate takings will be sent to the poppy appeal). Hot Dogs and soup for sale. Build your own guy and bring it along for burning on the bonfire.
Saturday 26th October 2013 3-6pm
Come and hear about the astounding story of the coprolite (dinosaur droppings) industry in the C19th in Horningsea and the wonderful tale of the ‘March of 200’ in 1867 when 200 men, women and children marched through the village (Hooray and Up the Workers!) to protect Quy Fen from being taken over by the local rich landowner (Boo! Down with the Fat-Cats!)
Tony Phillips will be providing the words; Dave Jenkins will be providing the songs; they’ll be a display of photos and information and Dominic will be filming the first ever re-construction of the March using all of his knowledge and know-how as a professional film maker to turn however many people come on the day into a Victorian mob!
Get a victorian costume, bring the family, get the kids to bring their favourite toy dinosaur and have a great afternoon finding out more about our amazing village. There may even be the odd inflatable dinosaur hanging around – just when you thought it was safe to go into the garden………..
This event is part of the 2014 Horningsea 800 celebrations

Apologies that it’s a few days late but here’s the October issue!
Remember that the clocks change this month.
This year’s Apple Pressing was the most popular yet. A lot of people put a lot of hard work into producing juice. Many people built a large pile of apples up during the morning and later on that day even more people,aided by a rebuilt awesome apple press and a truly awesome shredder, turned that pile into juice.
The weather was great as well and the “just in case of rain” marquee proved useful for those hot shoulders!
Roe Asplin kindly invites you to relax on the green sward of the Orchards in Horningsea, overlooking the river. From 1pm onwards
Bring your own food, table and chairs
Invite your friends along
Charcoal fire pit provided for BBQ-ing
Relax and make your own fun. There will be a musical background.
