Our Morris Web Site update We have updated our web site, it is a major overhaul and includes a lot of new features. We even give a clue as to the location of the Pubs we visit. Most Morris Dancing teams in Sussex are named, plus a lot of the original information. If you want to know where we are dancing, or want pictures of Morris Dancers then have a look. You comments would very much be appreciated.
More video clips of Boxing Day have been added to YouTube and the index has also been updated.
Now for those still puzzling about the significance of Boxing Day and Morris men then as promised here is the link. In 1899 on Boxing Day at the village of Headington a gentleman by the name of Cecil Sharp saw a performance of Morris Dancing, he was so taken by it that he researched it and wrote down in great detail the steps and tunes he discovered. This proved to be a most valuable resource for the revival of Morris Dancing. Without his research and interest most Morris Sides would probably never have started. A lot more information on the team he saw on that momentous day can be found on the Headington Quarry web site.
Well the New Year is fast approaching, our first outing will be Apple Howling at Bolney, 6.00pm on 6th Jan, more details and map on our updated web site.
