The winners
Residents around the village (and a few over the border!) were given a free reign to create their own ‘guy’ and place it outside their house, or visible from outside.
Mike Webster, membership secretary, explained: “In the end we had 62 entries in the trail! The standard was so high, everyone deserved a prize. It was very hard to choose the winners.”

Lindfield Bonfire Society are therefore delighted to announce the top three guys were:
1st Place – The Harper family, By Sunte.
2nd Place – The Slack family, Hickmans Lane.
3rd Place – Emma Ford and friends, Lewes Road (above charity shop).
“Unfortunately prizes and photos couldn’t be done due to the second lockdown,” Mike said, “but we really think the spirit of the bonfire was still in the village in November – thank you to all who took part.

Guy spotting now open!
Lindfield Bonfire Society has created a fun competition, which see numerous ‘Bonfire Guys’ out on display through the village.
In place between 24th October and 5th November, creators of the Guys were given a freehand as to what to make it from and how to decorate it. Guys can be placed in a front window or outside in the front garden for all to see.
Makers are encouraged to add a carved pumpkin or turnip to the display for Halloween Night too.
Mike Webster, LBS Membership Secretary, commented: “Without the usual bonfire and fireworks display this year, we really wanted to do something fun - which everyone could get involved in. We have been delighted with the response from Lindfield residents!”
Maps of the Guy Trail will be available for a donation to LBS from Happy Feet shoe shop on Denmans Lane. For any other information, or if the plan has to change due to government guidelines, please see the Society website: www.lindfieldbonfiresociety.co.uk
