ST. GEORGE’S DAY!!!
THE TRADITIONAL BIRTHDAY OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE!!!
St. George’s Day was an Old Catholic Festival in England…..
……banned by Queen Elizabeth I, who cut the number of religious festivals from over 100 to a paltry 27….
Stratford upon Avon Town Council, though, hid away their George Armour – vital for the celebration of St. George’s Day – in case the Old Faith returned to the land…
We know for certain that William Shakespeare DIED on St. George’s Day…..
But there is also a tradition that he was BORN on St. George’s day as well…..
(We only know that Baby Will was baptised on 26th April, 1564).
Indeed, OUR COUSIN WILL – the play about Shakespeare’s life penned by Chief Agent Trotter – speculates that the Bard died from over-exertion at a Birthday Bash……
(For details of the play, which will be performed at The Great Barn in Titchfield from 23rd – 26th May, click: here.)
The Code is also thrilled to announce that FIVE new countries have joined the Brother and Sisterhood……
ESTONIA
MONTENEGRO
BRUNEI DARUSSALAM
BERMUDA

This brings the number of participating countries to a dazzling……
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT!!!
