A Windy Sesquicentennial


Saturday 21 May - It seems to be the year for 150th anniversaries, after our celebration of Vassar's 150 years we decided to visit the 150 year anniversary of the downs. There was a picnic setup complete with hogroast. Visitors were invited to dress in Victorian clothing like the original patrons of the park and many did. There were games including mini golf set up and tents with demonstrations. There was also a whole mini village historical tents complete with soldiers, wives and children. We had a good look around enjoyed a festive song played by the band then scurried back to the flat as the wind was so strong we thought we might otherwise blow away.
