The Long Man of Wilmington is supporting World Ostomy Day
The Long Man of Wilmington is to wear an ostomy pouch to help raise awareness of World Ostomy Day – “Let’s be heard” on Saturday 6th October. By supporting the day the Long Man is also helping to support himself and his on-going care and maintenance with a kind donation from SecuriCare.

Am thinking we should add the Sussex Archaeological Society onto the contacts list as they are the ones allowing it. Having trouble finding the best person/address though. Is it marketing?

Wonder if it's worth trying to contact Cursuswalker? He was always on the scene for The Long Man...

Good idea, got an email addy? A quick google finds a facebook, but not sure if its active. I seem to recall he posted somewhere recently saying he'd changed his online name... curse my poor memory.

Oh really? Damn - in that case, maybe not... He's an active member here still, so his email address appears in teh memberlist (I can DM it to you if you like?)
[Edit - this is highly likely to be him:
