A New Season!

Posted on by timlloyd222

As Spring turns into Summer so Yateley Morris Men cast off their practice gear and don their blue and gold kit, ready to start the dancing out season.

Please note that due to various injuries and family commitments we will NOT be dancing on May 1st this year – neither at Wyndham’s Pond (you can have a lie in you lucky people!) or at the May Fayre.

Fear not – the calendar on the left will show our appearances as they are confirmed. Please check back regularly for updates and before travelling especially to see us. We have already danced at the Oxford Folk Weekend and are looking forward to a busy programme of local pubs and visits to other events near and far.

The inspiration for Tim Lloyd’s programme cover design comes from The Cloggies, a humorous take on Morris Dancing by the great Bill Tidy, who died earlier this year. He will be greatly missed! One episode contains Tim’s favourite definition of the Morris: “We are not gym mistresses dancing nymphs and shepherds, but grown men enjoying an historic sport that is fortunately tied to public houses”.
