Club Liberty

Police have banned the Festival of Bliss "International Swingers Ball" due to be held at Club Liberty in Scaynes Hill. Some festival-goers had already booked accommodation - is this why the council thinks Burgess Hill needs it's own hotel?

Delights planned included orgies in the sauna and whirlpool baths. One resident, approving of the police's action said, "For too long we've had the sexual antics of these people rammed up our nose." An unfortunate choice of phrase.

Many of the locals dislike the club and, according to Chief Inspector, Chris Ball, "have been collecting evidence which has been presented to us." Yuk!

The event was supposed to be in support of the charity Wellbeing Of Women, who specialise in gynaecological health.

Of course, you can use charity as justification for practically anything, just remember our old friend Frank Milligan confiscating Burgess Hill FC's balls and returning their property only in return for a donation to charity.

Golf
What I don't like about charity events is lack of suffering. After all, if you are going to do something for a good cause then you should do something that puts yourself out, not something that you are going to enjoy. An eight-mile run dressed as Mickey Mouse, that's worthy of sponsorship, not the Sussex Corporate Golf Challenge I read of in the Middy.

However good the cause, and the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit in Slimfold is a worthy one, I can't feel warmth towards these selfless people. They are to enjoy "coffee and bacon rolls on arrival, a three course dinner" and "an after-dinner entertainer."

I can just see all these 4x4 driving company bigwigs arriving at their businesses, and then going about pestering their low paid employees into sponsoring them, just to feel good about themselves. That's in between searching the internet and booking holidays in Dubai.

Breast Cancer Care
Now a good cause, and people worthy of your support are Danehill postmaster, Gary Crilly, and three unnamed women. At Danehill Stores on Saturday he had his legs waxed and the three women had their heads shaved in aid of Breast Cancer Care. Golf-playing executives take note.
