January 17th is nearly here. Members of the Black Hand Cyder Society will be gathering to ensure a good crop of apples again this year.
From time immemorial apple growers and cyder makers have come together as near as possible to the 17th, the traditional date for the Wassailing ceremony.
This pagan custom includes the Wassailing Song and prayers to the gods so that all local apple trees are suitably blessed and productive.
BHCS members will thus be in attendance at Great Green Farm on the 17th and performing the required ritual. Suitable liquid refreshment will of course be provided,
UPDATE
75 people turned up for the celebrations. Excellent food and drink was provided and a great time was had by all.
