The Woolgar's Entertain!! |
|||||
Our
Woolgar's were also very keen members of the Newhaven
Carnival Society, spending many long hours making and
repairing their costumes which were worn every year
during the Bonfire Celebrations which took place over
many autumn weeks in Sussex. These celebrations still
take place today, culminating in the grand torchlit
processions in Lewes on November 5th. |

Dorothy and Tony's entertainment "genes" spurred them on to carry on entertaining in various ways - dancing, singing, amateur operatics and dramatics etc. and Tony's children are carrying on in the same tradition. However to date, Dorothy's son James is only interested in sport - mainly playing football! Entertaining, nevertheless!!!
