Admission: Free, but guests are asked to bring snacks and apple-derived drinks to share

And annual invitation from Club Member Ian White. Wassailing apple orchards is an ancient tradition in cider-making parts of the country, and is a way of blessing the orchard to ensure a good crop. It involves making a noise to scare off evil spirits, pouring libations of cider on to the roots and consuming a certain amount of it too.

More details at ianwhite.info/Wassail.html.

Interested parties can gather at Ian's house at 2pm (till 2.30)  before the wassailing of the site begins at 2.45. From 3.30 there will be scoffing of jacket potatoes and quaffing of mulled apple juice and cider, before retiring back to 10 Walters Way.

Guests are requested to bring noise-making instruments and snacks and apple-derived drinks to share. In addition to the "pagan" dress code, guests are advised to dress warmly and wear suitable footwear, bearing in mind that the going can be wet and slippery in such an agricultural setting.
