Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Bonfire Night

A dazzling spectacle of both madness and fun is what awaited me on November 5th.

Lewes town have seven societies who come together to celebrate the ancient tradition of Bonfire.

Dressed in colourful costumes and holding flaming torches the societies parade through the streets to beating drums and screams from the spectators. Through the smoke filled air you can see children hanging out of windows and the ear-splitting bangers that go off at your feet would usually summon a health and safety visit. But for some reason no one can stop this town from its chaotic celebration – some have tried! United for one night the societies draw in thousands to give us a performance like no other. A great example of teamwork.

This inspirational and entertaining evening must be seen. If you decide to go don’t forget your ear defenders!

    Do you know I've never been. Sounds fantastic. Isn't it great that common sense has overcome that grotesque culture, Health and Safety.
    Given that Totnes Rugby Club were forbidded to have a "live" bonfire (they had to show a film of a bonfire!), Lewes is getting away with murder!
