When watching a Procession, people often see a wide range of colourful and not-so colourfull costumes
being worn and sometimes, they miss the banner and don`t know who is who. Here is a list of all current
socities and there costumes of choice, however, sometimes the odd people dress out in other things.
Battel has 2 main costumes. Our `home` costume, is that of a Anglo-Saxon. This is worn for our links to
the Battel of Hastings in 1066. Our second `away` costume is that of a Convict. This is because of a couple
of reasons, dating back to Rye Bonfire in 1983, when there was a bit of trouble, so battel was given a
police escort, leading to comments along the lines of `we are being treated like a bunch of convicts`, thus
we started to wear the old fashioned convict suits, which are Havana Brown, with Black `Arrow` prints.
In the last 20 years, the art and effort of making more fancy costumes has died down and a number of socities either
only have a simpler `Jumper` outfit or an easy to make outfit, like Battel`s Convict outfit.
