Not sure which dance this is - or when - but it shows off Swanage Bay and Old Harry Rocks wonderfully
Whatever it is, Claudia, Kelly, Ian, Eddie and MikeG are doing it!
Another mystery - complete with blue pole!
I think this may be Much Gridlock
Chris, MaryAnn, Ian, Ann, Claudia, Ali, Tony, Kelly and MikeG with an invisible partner
Looks a bit like Witchmens Thistle
Probably the cast figure in Dilwyn
Wrekin Havoc seen from above - this is the Upton Hey figure
The band is: ian O, Ann O, Sharon, Colin, Joe, Anna, MikeS, Kelly, Andy, Vera and Tony, with Claudia watching or rattling something, and a bit of help from a bass player from Wreckers Morris
The dancers are: MikeG, Eddie, MaryAnn, Ann, Ali and Chris
The same dance
Swanage and Ballard Down in the background
More Wrekin Havoc - the Eathorpe Cross figure
A double Worcestershire Monkey with Wreckers Morris at Swanage pier
MikeG, Tony, Eddie, MaryAnn, Ann, Ian and Claudia
Near the clock tower
The dance is Bay Horse
Chris is facing the camera
The spot near the clock tower
The dance is Just as the Tide Was a'Flowin - or just "Tide" to us
The Red Lion, for a few dances while other sides were "enjoying" the procession
This is Hay-on-Wye
Ali & Eddie, then Ann & Chris, then MikeG and Ian
Witchmens Thistle at the Red Lion
Vera and Sharon, with Anna and Colin playing back-to-back
Sheepskins on the sea front - maybe Sunday morning
Colin leads Tony and Ian into the Sheepskins Hey.
Chris, Claudia and Ann wait for their turn

And here are Claudia, Emma and Ann dancing the Hey
Leaning into the curve nicely
Chris looks on and keeps order

"Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits"
A break in our busy schedule
"I say, is this the right platform for the Swanage train?"
Claudia making an entrance during our annual trip to Corfe Castle on the Saturday
Forming a set for Dilwyn on the Sunday afternoon
Most of us were brave enough
But, some kept their feet dry
The dance in progress
And the star performers of the weekend?
Alfred & Judy (Or Bill & Ben if you are a Thomas the Tank Engine fan!)
They were built 7ft 6in tall to get under low bridges on the Port of Par railway, and were visiting the Swanage Railway for the weekend.
