OBJ Morris - 2003 Scrapbook

Winchester Mayfest
17 May 2003

Once more, to Winchester Folk Festival, where we had inclement weather but an excellent choice of dance spots (we were under cover in the afternoon). The audience was appreciative and joined in when invited. Our musicians excelled themselves.

Another audience-participation dance - this time it's Dilwyn danced in St Maurice's Covert.

An excellent place to keep dry with a captive audience and wonderful acoustics.

Mayflower Morris were sharing the spot with us.

The Winchester branch of the OBJ Fan Club.

This family are french and we met them at Winchester last year. Nolwenn poses in Doug's hat, and they show us their new baby - just three months old.

You know what they say about women watching morris dancers!
