Jack In The Green, May 2004

It 's amazing how quickly a year can fly by..... But the wheel of the year had turned once more
and now we found ourselves anticipating yet another exciting Jack In The Green.

Marti had the earliest start as he had the ordeal of his "initiation" into the Hastings Bogies ranks
to attend, as well as taking care of Jack. Other Bogie duties included sampling Bogie hip flasks,

 
eating bacon and egg, and having his balls checked for green paint.
As his fellow Gay Bogies arrived outside the Fisherman's museum, Marti was busy drumming inside.

So keen was he to see his pals, that Keef decided they should undergo that ancient Jack In The
Green blessing of being dragged into the museum to have their arses greened .

Once cheeks had been bared, the Gay Bogies rejoined the merry crowd of friends outside the
museum, awaiting the appearance of their old friend Jack in the Green!

The moment of magic is here at last....Jack is released from the Fisherman's Museum, followed by the fierce, growling, Bogies! Grrrrrrrrr........ Roar....

"Hello me Dears"!
 
         
 
Jack is clearly
happy to be back
amongst all his
dear friends!		 He looks about for Mad Jacks Ladies to perform their magical dance The cheering
stops, as we wait
for the circle dance
to begin....... 		The ladies welcome Jack with their gentle dance, to drive the
cold winter away...		 Jack carrying
Marti!

through the streets of

Prada heels sweetie!
 
         
 
On top of Bogie
Hill, the elements
get wild.		 Keef ponders

As Stiffy gives
the traditional
Sussex
blessing....		 Jacks final
dance is
watched by
Julia,as the
heavens
open. 		Defiance, in the face of adversity. Takes more than a spot of rain to
discourage a hardened
Gay Bogie....
As the heavens
open, only the
most stoic remain

The onlookers
attention is
drawn to Bogie
Hill......
