| GUEST,Friends of the Froth Blowers | BS: Anyone heard of 'The Cheerful Sparrows'? (8) | RE: BS: Anyone heard of 'The Cheerful Sparrows'? | 22 Sep 08 |
One of the many charitable spin-offs of the amazingly successful 'Ancient Order of Froth Blowers' (1924-31) which attracted 700,000 members in its first four years , and raised over £100,000 for Sir Alfred Fripp's children's charities. The 'Brotherhood of Cheerful Sparrows' flourished in the mid-to-late-30's and, according to Google, still has a Charity Cup competed for in Thanet. | |||
