There was something highly suspicious about the organisation of the venues for The Day of Syn. Three enactments in the morning took place at "The Ship Inn", "The City of London" and "The Ocean Inn" - all public houses!

Unfortunately, I missed the next picture at "The City of London" where the crowd was large and The Scarecrow appeared so suddenly to rescue the smuggler from the gallows that I was rather caught by surprise. At the time, the public house is the headquarters of The Nightriders Motorcycle Club, who, as well as having some very impressive motorbikes, are well known in this area for their kind work for children's charities. Many of them are actively involved in the work for this day in Dymchurch. My son, also being a lover of motorbikes, remarked that this was the first "pub" that he'd seen that displayed a sign that it was "Biker Friendly".
