Covid 19

We are pleased to be back and practising weekly, however we are mindful of keeping our members safe and have guidelines in place to manage this. If you wish to come along to a practise it is advisable that you contact us first so we know to expect you. 

 

  • Stroud Goodwill Evening - Friday 3rd December 2021: This event has become a popular staple of Stroud's pre-Christmas celebrations.  Despite absences due to Covid we danced all around Stroud Town Centre including up the High Street!
  • Jack in The Green - Friday 29th April to Monday 2nd May 2022.  This event really set us up for the summer season dancing at this truly British May Day celebration, held annually in Hastings. Check out our photographs and the links below. https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/people/hastings-jack-in-the-green-in-pictures-3678079

  • Bradford-on-Avon Green Man festival- Saturday 14th May 2022. We shall be joining 73 other dance troupes and sides in what the organisers describe as the largest event of its type in the country. Although Saturday is the main day of the festival it is worth checking out the website for other events happening in the same week. 
  • Nailsworth Festival - Saturday 21st May 2022, 12.00 noon. CANCELLED We were  looking forward to dancing at the festival this year, however, due to Covid-19 infections we are unable to attend.  The festival will still be happening and well worth a visit.
  • Bampton Morris Day of Dance - Saturday 4th May 2022, 6.30pm.  Bampton will dance around the village from 8.30am and guest sides are invited for the evening. Receiving an invitation is a great honour which we have been pleased to accept.
  • Dance out with Ragged & Old- Wednesday 8th June 2022 8pm. This will be at The Crown, Frampton Mansell. Ragged and Old are old friends who we regularly dance with.  We shall be dancing with them again in August (see below).
  • Amberley Jubilee Celebration GL5 5JG -Saturday 11th June 2022. We shall be dancing at 3pm and 4pm supporting Amberley Village's special event.
  • Dance out with Mendip Morris - Thursday 16th June 2022. This will be at the Salutation Inn, Ham, Berkeley.  We suspect that it is the lure of the fine beers and cider at the Sally and not just our dancing and company that has tempted Mendips over the border from Somerset. 
  • Great Western Morris 50th Birthday Weekend - Saturday 25th  and Sunday 26th June 2022.  This event is long awaited - it was originally scheduled for 2020.  We will be travelling south to celebrate with Great Western Morris.
  • Abingdon Hemmings Day of Dance - 2nd July 2022. We shall be dancing with many other invited sides at the famous Abingdon Hemmings (full name Mr Hemmings Traditional Abingdon Morris Dancers) annual event. 
  • Dance out with Sabotage Clog - Monday 18th July 2022. Venue TBC
  • Dance out with Gloucestershire Morris  (previously known as Gloucestershire Morris Men) -26th July 2022. This will be in Framilode.
