Never heard of that tradition I have to confess

Lots of other (year round) games etc that seem to have been consigned to history too

Whip and Top probably one of them .

We've (Parish Council) bought a Maypole for the community centre.

Teachers at local school are practising traditional dances with the kids, so they'll be dancing round the maypole for Mayday and Kings coronation.

Yes , another tradition last seen by me when aged 10 or 11

Quadrangle at Junior School and was fascinated by it

Aye should be good Wolfie.
Being a bit of a pagan wicca missen, I was hoping we could get a Wicker Man and burn a few sacrificial ******
Was turned down sadly.
