Abstract: 

The Hollington tipteers believe they are the last mummers in the country to arrive at performance spaces unannounced and who unashamedly collect for beer money. This they believe is the ‘traditional’ way to do things. Many of the performers have had the same part for many years. Parts are for life or retirement from the group. They pride themselves on never needing a rehearsal. There is a queue of people wishing to join. The revival and evolution of the group is discussed.
