OBJ Morris - 2000 Scrapbook

Chippenham Folk Festival
27-28th May

The customary rain arrived for the festival on the first night, making the campsite extremely muddy. Canooists (or canooers or canoodlers?) were practicing in one of the camping areas. Nonetheless, the weather improved and we had a good weekend nipping in and out of pubs to dance.

OBJ Comprised: Adam, Ann, Chris, Colin, DaveK, Elaine, Ian, Jenni, JimJ, JimM, Liz, Louise, Lynne, MikeS, NigelS, Nikki, Pam, Rachel, Roger, and Vera.
