We were all in need of a good "bash" particularly as Jack In The Green was
just around the corner, and the anticipation was building.....

Marti had just moved down from Lancashire to live in the Hastings area,
so it was an ideal opportunity to christen his flat in the process.

A few years back we had attended a screening of the cult film "The Wicker Man"
at the Electric Palace, over a JITG weekend. We weren't surprised when the lights
came up at the end, to see the cinema was mainly full of our Jack In The Green pals....
So the choice of theme for the party seemed obvious.

This also gave Mick the chance to be Brit Ekland, Marti to be a virgin sacrifice,
Julia to be a maiden, Simon to be the "Lord of Summer Isle", Spen to be a housewife,
and Craig to be a six foot hare. We all seemed quite at home in our new personas!

May Morrison managed to find time away from looking for her daughter Rowan,
to donate part of her sweet shop.....This was on the provision that if we spotted Rowan,
we'd keep her away from Bradley, so she wouldn't get too"plastered"..

In true Gay Bogie style, the evening degenerated at whirlwind speed...and what you witness
here is the disturbing evidence of how all the "seven deadly sins" can be represented within
just one evening!!!

 
       
We wondered if
Rowan might
turn up at the
bash?		 Honouring "Nuada", the calm... before the
storm		 Gay Bogies are
known for
providing
a fine spread		 "Brit" decides a
spell is required
to guarantee a
successful night		 May Morrison
does us proud
with her sweet
shop donations
 
           
 

Julia adds the
finishing touches
to the buffet

 Marti relaxes with
a generous glass
of wine		 Craig stays in character to greet
the guests		 Mick...er...Brit
considers a
night of
seductive dance		 Spen...well,
he's taking no
prisoners tonight!
 
 
 
Lord Summer
Isle, greets
his lovely
guests..		 It's a lion and a
plane...Actually
the lovely Paddy
and Big Jon		 Craig,
comes up
for air...		 John B admires
the the virginal
maiden

Rachel's costume
was the most fun
as she came as a
Maypole...
 
         
 
The beer
flows as the air
thickens with
Beltane spirit!		 The pace
quickens as the
dancers whirl
around Rach...		 Weaving in and out,
the air is full of the
maypole's fertility
magic!		 The dancers are a blur as the dance increases in speed First to succumb to the Maypole's magic is Spidey..
 
         
 
Marti, like a
starved tiger,
goes in for
the kill		 Simon, Mol, and Spidey, going
with the flow...

Marti's severed
head, probably
asking Jill for a
threesome

 Jon starts offering people chartered flights out of the disaster zone.. The minute
your backs
turned, they all
want a helping!
 
         
 
Just as we
planned,... an
evening of pagan
debauchery		 Lady B's head is
still in a spin, as
she customizes
the baby cake..

Reminds me of somebody
...hmmm ??

Fee looks on
bemused, as
Spider wastes no time..

 Yes,
seeing
is believing!
 
         
 

Not to be outdone,
Lady B fights back
in true Gay Bogie
spirit!

 Spen surrenders
to the primal
desire that is cake
bingeing....		 Lady B,
transformed by
rite into the Green
Lady!		 Meltdown.... "That's the
last time I do
a fertility
magic"...
Declares Brit!
