Start planning for St George's Day!

It's that time of the year again when we love to proudly promote St George's
Day - St George's Day - April 23rd.
There is a forgotten, nay, almost forbidden word, which means more to me
than any other. That word is ‘England’. - Winston Churchill

A reminder that St George's Day is just three weeks away.
Send your family and friends St George's Day cards, available from www
wearetheenglish.com Clinton's Card shops in any town NOW and from This
England Magazine. The Royal Society of St George also sell cards. pair Networks - World Class Web Hosting

This is the big opportunity we have each year to celebrate our glorious
English heritage.

So, start planning your celebrations now!

Wear a red rose on the day.
Wear red and white.
Fly the Cross of St George with pride from your home, car or wherever you
feel it can be seen!

Have a special dinner of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, or fish and chips
or bangers and mash. And don't forget the Worcestershire sauce, HP sauce or
the good old hot English mustard.
Enjoy a pint of English ale (especially Bombardier! )http://www.bombardier
co.uk/bombardier/promotions/petition
or a nice cup of English breakfast tea.

Wear the scarf of your favourite English football team.

Dress up as Boadicea or John Bull, Robin Hood or Maid Marian, Dick Turpin,
Queen Anne, or a manifestation of Doctor Who.
Play recordings of Jerusalem, I vow to Thee My Country, Elgar, the Grenadier
Guards, anything that makes you feel proud to be English and we have much to be proud of music wise!!

Read a play or a book (or at least an excerpt) by Shakespeare, Austen,
Dickens, Hardy, Wodehouse, Andy Capp, or some other giant of our English
literary heritage. Watch a video or DVD of one of the great English cinema epics, like The Dam Busters, Zulu, Lawrence of Arabia, Henry V, Cromwell, Camelot, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or one of the Carry On movies.

Organise a game of cricket with your mates.
Whatever you do, DO SOMETHING ENGLISH!
Start a parade, ask that your local church to hold a dedication service to
St George on his festival day if they doN'T already!
Ask them to fly the English flag from the church tower LIKE CHURCHES ALWAYS USED TO DO before the PC brigade wormed in and got them lowered!
Celebrate and continue the great traditions of English civilisation on St
George's Day.
Shakespeare was born on the 23rd April and he also died on it, English to
the core!
Encourage your children to learn about St George and the Dragon, read the
story to them them.
Encourage them to feel proud of their roots, tell them of their Anglo Saxon
history, so often forgotten in history lessons today!
Our children are the future, without their pride, we CANNOT survive!

MOST OF ALL, HAVE A HAPPY ST GEORGE'S DAY! PASS IT ON

Wednesday 23rd April

GOD BLESS

ENGLAND
