BITS AND BOBS ............................... CHARITY BOX #32: SUSSEX TRADITIONS May Day at Sompting School. Photo courtesy of Lancing & Sompting Pastfinders What is Sussex Traditions? We’re a charitable trust, founded in 2015 with the aim of collecting, sharing and preserving all manner of Sussex-related material including games, beliefs, songs, recipes, pastimes, sayings and craft. We encourage people to share stories and information about Sussex in the hope of improving our understanding of time and place. Older people especially often want to share memories of ‘their’ Sussex, and convey their value to a younger generation. We’ve also seen an appetite in younger people for more information about the place in which they live and from those who come to live here and want to learn about our history and cultural heritage. Where can we find you? We’re not a museum. Our assets are more intangible than that. We have a website where visitors can find a database of thousands of Sussex traditions, we produce publications and we’re looking at making podcasts soon. At the moment our database is mostly focused on traditional song, primarily because the trust’s founders – who include members of the Copper Family – have a background in that area. But our next topic is Sussex Childhood: the games, the law of the playground, the experiences of children in rural areas. We’re really interested in small details – the type of games people remember playing; rhymes and songs they sang; colloquial names for flowers and plants. How do you define a tradition? One of our founders, Steve Rowd, who wrote the Book of English Folk Song and co-authored the Encyclopaedia of English Folklore, thinks that if it’s something that has been handed down from person to person, then it’s a tradition. It could be a story, a recipe or even a joke. Traditions don’t necessarily have to be something ‘historic’. Many of the traditions we have lost are things people would have taken for granted at the time – children playing with hoops, for example – so we’re interested in more contemporary Sussex customs as much as those from the past. How can people get involved? We need all sorts of volunteers to help with a wide range of areas – building the website; cataloguing; research; writing; transcribing and events. Ideally we’d like to create a series of interest groups and build teams for each strand of our work. But the key thing is recording people’s memories – getting out and interviewing friends and relatives. And of course we always welcome donations that help us to continue our work. What is your favourite Sussex tradition? I enjoy sharing traditional music, particularly in schools where I introduce old Sussex songs to the children. Otherwise, I rather like the time-honoured tradition of drinking beer. Sitting outside the Black Boys Inn in Uckfield with a bunch of other blokes who grew up in the area, making jokes – I think that’s a tradition that is in no danger of dying out any time soon.
