The Binners: a bunch of fully grown adults, once avowed to
making sure that at least part of their leisure time was spent in a manner
slightly less boring than the rest. Your typical Binner male will achieve
this by taking advantage of the UK's vast number of beautiful and mysterious
sites that testify to Britain’s diverse history.

The
inspirational start to the art of binning came in the mid seventies,
when Binner Wayne Lang went on a weeklong school trip to Phillip’s
House in Dinton, Wiltshire. The week was filled with a number of field
trips that were both educational and interesting. One of these trips
included a visit to Avebury, a small Wiltshire village partly
surrounded by Britain’s largest stone circle - often referred to as
‘Avebury Henge’. |
Later, after the passage of
some six years, Wayne’s memories of the village and the pre-historic
sites that surround it, caused him take a diversion whilst
cycling back from his Nan’s in South Wales. Over the next fourteen or
so years, he continued to visit the village whenever opportunity
reared its head; The last of these occasions being in 1987, when he
went accompanied by a small group of friends that included Dave (or
Me, as I sometimes refer to myself). It was on this occasion that
visits to Avebury became a rather more essential part of both Wayne's
and Dave's lives, and rather than being just an occasional curiosity,
visited on the way back from somewhere else, it became a deliberate
destination, around which other visits fitted in. We have continued to
visit the village on a semi regular basis ever since. |
