Circle of Experienced Elders - Guardians of the Nation

 

 

These lovely people are members of Brighton's Circle of Experienced Elders, who meet at an address in Hove to discuss matters of great importance to the nation :) 

This event occurs once a month without fail, and a fine lunch, created by the members themselves, is enjoyed by all in a large airy room.  In the afternoon more matters of weight and content are dissected and mulled over with great deliberation.

A gong is passed around, so that only the person holding it can talk.  If anyone disobeys, the guardian dingles a bell and they are immediately shamed.

The December event will, of course, be a Christmas party, so the nation will have to manage without them.

The photo above shows some members off to a fine carvery in Peacehaven to enjoy a well-deserved lunch.  The carvery in questions serves bottomless ice cream, and you can have it with all sort of bits, like marshmallows and bits of chocolate or smarties.  Almost as good as a McDonald's Mississippi Mud Pie.
