The one-day event was a thank-you to the town for its support over the years and to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot.

Archives included programmes, badges, photographs and memorabilia dating back through the society's 153 year-long history.

The event was opened by the Mayor, Cllr Jim Daly, and during the day more than 600 people came through the door, providing the society with a profit of several hundred pounds.

In the evening the society held its bonfire costume competition in preparation for the coming Lewes Bonfire Council costume inter-society competition.

Life members were presented with special badges to mark their contribution to Cliffe down the years.
