Contents for July 2016 Issue
Jimper Sutton, our number One contributor since 1966, died just about the time the July Issue of “Rye’s Own” reached the printing press. Too late for even a mention of his sad passing to be recorded in this issue but there are some of his stories included.
Next month (August Issue) will include an eight page feature on this, the most remarkable and unique Rye character of our time. Known to everyone who lives in the town and for miles around, he will leave a gap in our community that truly will never be filled.
His funeral, at St. Mary’s Church Rye, will be a most spectacular send off. His Cortege will be led, from the Landgate Tower to the Church by Bonfire Drummers and members of Bonfire Societies from all over Sussex will join Rye members in Bonfire dress.
A Trip on Balmoral
Almost 400 people sailed with MV Balmoral when she embarked from Rye Harbour to Tower Bridge. Lots of pictures in July issue.

Rye’s Famous Fire Engine Comes Home. Bob Rogers, who went on many shouts with SAP 201 in the 1960’s was there to see her delivered back to Rye for restoration. Full story, pictures and history of a fine servant of Rye.
War & Peace Show
