This year has been a very different year for us all. Communities have come together, whilst being apart, we haven't been able to hug and spend time with loved ones as we once did, and this winter looks to be no better.

Usually Robertsbridge Bonfire Society (RBS) would hold fundraising events all year to raise money for the event held in November for the village and wider community to enjoy. A night where collection buckets aid donations and fundraising for a wide number of community groups, and the village comes together to show how spectacular a community it is for all to see. But this year, like many others, it was not possible. Auctions, dinner dances, fun runs, boot fairs, wedding bars, clay shoots and Flower and dog shows, all cancelled.

This year, which was to be our 30th Anniversary, planned to be the most spectacular event by RBS yet, is sadly not to be... But we have ambition, and hope, and dreams of being able to put on this momentous parade and display next year, but we will need to be able to begin fundraising, and soon!

So, if like us, you want to look forward, and dream of next years possibilities, please consider donating to RBS, to put towards next years event, so we can make it as incredible as possible. Thank you from Robertsbridge Bonfire Society .
