Nevill Arms, Medbourne

No photos of the last few weeks, for one reason or another.  But here are some of a lovely summer evening at Medbourne. 



Queen's Head, Billesdon

It has become a tradition by now, I think, that we spend the Wednesday nearest Midsummer at the Queen's Head.  We were joined, as ever, by Bakanalia Border Morris and New St George Morris, and also by one member of Rutland Morris.   There were some people watching, but this is really a selfish evening for ourselves - it is always very good to watch other sides.   You may see dances that you yourselves do, as well as seeing the unfamiliar.    

The White Horse, Stoke Albany

Last Monday night, Village Feast day, and an enthusastic audience.  Thank you if you watched.

The Star, Geddington

David West, one of our members, sadly passed away last week after an illness borne with great optimism.  We have missed his presence for some time, and will continue to do so, and will miss being able to share in his great knowledge of all sorts of things.

It was David, who I already knew, who told me I would enjoy Morris if I came along and took me along with him.   And he was right. 

We felt tonight that there were two dances that we particularly associated with David.   So we began our evening at Geddington with one, Vandals of Hammerwich, and ended with the other, Skirmish, just in time for it to rain.

The photos show us dancing Skirmish.   It also seems appropriate to note that the street across the road from the Eleanor Cross is called West St.

The George, Ashley

 

A lovely warm evening, with a lovely warm audience!

Irchester

Danced at Irchester's Jubilee celebrations, as guests of St Katharine's Morris.   A gorgeous sunny day, lots of stalls to look at, food in the nearby Parsons Hall, and some dancing to watch and do.   What more could we want?     Thanks to St Katharine's Morris for inviting us.  Here is one picture of each of us.

Chandler's Arms, Shearsby

Shearsby is somewhere where we can always expect an audience and it did not disappoint tonight.   Thank you if you watched us get some dances right first time, and others right after a practice (not that we have not been practising, of course!)
