On Sunday 16th September, one of our more unusual events – an appearance at the Royal County of Berkshire Show, near Chieveley – a massive agricultural show billed as a celebration of country life. We were invited to perform in the Countryside Area, which featured a wide variety of displays during the day, including Morris Dancing. We had 2 spots on our own during the day, in a large grassed field – not an ideal surface for us. Nevertheless we drew a reasonable crowd, though we had a suspicion many of them were waiting for next dog display to come on…
Then on Saturday 22nd Sept we headed off to London’s South Bank for the annual Morris Federation AGM and Day of Dance, this year hosted by New Esperance. After such a good summer, which continued into September, it was a shame the weather turned against us somewhat, with rain increasing as the day wore on. Despite that, we were able to complete our 4 scheduled spots, largely shared with other interesting teams, based at various pubs along or near the South Bank.
