FOUNDERS / PATRONS OF THE NEW CLUB
The Council is inviting dirgers to become patrons of the new club – as "Resurrectionists". A MINIMUM donation of £20 embalms people into infinite immortality as Founders, and in return, one of a very limited edition (200) of a paltry car-sticker, as shown on the right, will be forwarded as an acknowledgement. Thanks to the generosity of earlier resurrectionists, the New Club is now on a sound financial footing, and supplies are fast running out: do not delay any longer! Donors are entitled to use the title "RESURRECTIONIST". At a later date it may become possible to further immortalise the founders by inscribing indelibly their names, for posterity to witness, on a beer mug or other object. Council is discussing this. The names of Resurrectionists may also be listed on this website (so say if you prefer not to be listed).
Cheques, payable to New Lyke Wake Club should be sent to: - Gerry Orchard, General Secretary, New Lyke Wake Club, 4, Cavendish Grove, Hull Road, York, YO10 3ND.
- In case anyone is puzzled: -
- A dirger is a mourner who attends a wake and follows the corpse from home to church
- A wake is the watching of a corpse overnight.
- A lyke way is the path by which a corpse was moved from its domicile to church.
- A resurrectionist is an 18C bodysnatcher who removed bodies for medical schools
