Our members may join in our procession, and join us at processions of other societies throughout the bonfire season, subject to appropriate costume and following our rules. Due to insurance and health & safety we cannot allow those who are not members of our, or other invited societies, join in processions or enter fire sites.
Members are covered by the HBBS insurance whilst participating in HBBS organised activities - our events - which is also required to accept invitations from other Sussex Bonfire Societies.
Where we are invited to other societies processions, other societies insist all invited societies provide copies of our insurance showing our members are covered at our own event.
Each member must wear their current year procession badge to processions with us. Membership is not transferable; only the member(s) named on the membership form is allowed to wear their procession badge.
To do:
Complete the above membership form.
