Superstitions – October 2024
Over the last seven years, the newsletter’s This ‘n’ That articles have been about many, many topics and are always interesting, educational and well researched. A good number of the topics covered introduce us to reasons why things are as they are, and very often it is due to folklore, myths, legends, traditions… and superstition.

So, What Did You Find on the Beach Today??
Twenty years ago, on Sunday 12th September, Camber residents awoke to find possibly the largest piece of “beach debris” they had ever seen on our shores! 1175 tons of cargo coaster – the Indian registered Maanav Star!

Trick or Treat?
Hallowe’en is synonymous with a spooky full moon, backlighting, witches, bats, ghostly looking trees and buildings. Hallowe’en is also a time to observe respect for others whilst having some spooky fun.
Triple Treat!
The September full moon, known as the Harvest Moon, was also a Supermoon. This happens when the moon is closest to the Earth, making it appear bigger and brighter than a standard full moon. September’s full moon, however, was also subject to a partial lunar eclipse.
