After the wettest and most miserable May on
record the sun comes out and we’re promised a blistering
June. Just in time for the World Cup, a festival of football
that will keep many of us indoors for much of the next five
weeks. The prospect of the four-yearly tournament is a daunting
one for some, and a vision of heaven for others. Angola v
Portugal! Holland v Serbia! Mexico v Iran! England v Paraguay!
You may notice, if you are reading this before the beginning
of the tournament, that, apart from our cover, we make very
little reference to the world’s biggest sporting event.
This is because we are busy preparing a special World Cup
supplement, which will be sent to subscribers on Friday, day
one of the tournament. Non-subscribers will be able to link
into it from Friday from the webmag. In this supplement, as
well as getting our team of writers to give their take on
the World Cup, we’ve been round every bar in Lewes to
find out what (if anything) they are going to do to cater
for the hordes of fans wanting to watch the football in a
convivial situation. Some are pushing the boat out with big
screens, special menus and drinks to suit the occasion: others
are ignoring it completely. One pub is even taking its TV
away. Whatever you think of the World Cup, we would like you
to consider taking a picture of your take on it and sending
it to us We will be publishing the best shots, and if
the standard is good enough, exhibiting at the Star Gallery
after the tournament is finished, and Lewes gets back to normal
again. Enjoy the week.
