OBJ Morris - 2000 Scrapbook

OBJ Day of Dance
20th May, 2000

The day started at the 12th century King John's Castle at North Warnborough. We then embarked on the good ship John Pinkerton and sailed (barged?) along the Basingstoke Canal to the Water Witch at Odiham, thence to the Barley Mow. The day ended with a ceilidh.

Our guests were Hurst Morris, Fleet Morris, Berkshire Bedlam and a Reading Cloggy a tight fit on board.

The "bump" was well advanced by this stage.
