OBJ Morris - 2013 Scrapbook
Guildford - Children in Need - With Mayflower Morris
9th November 2013
Off to dance in Guildford to collect for Children-in-Need - an event
organised by our friends Mayflower Morris.
On probably the rainiest day of the year we lurched from "Plan A" to
"Plan C" and along the way, almost everyone adopted outdoor practice kit.
OBJ comprised: Ali, Ann, Anna, Chris D, Colin, Claudia, Eddie, Gill, Ian,
Joe, Kelly, MikeG, Tony and Vera.
Plan B - or was it Plan C - involved danfordg in the covered
part of Tunsgate. Nonetheless it still managed to feel pretty wet,
even if it wasn't
Dancing got started (eventually) with a customary Dilwyn Ali and
MikeG at this end of the set

This is probably Witchmens Thistle, with the light reflecting in
the puddles, and the wind howling through the archway.
|
Not quite sure which dance this is - possibly Bay Horse

This is certainly Witchmens Thistle

And so is this

The rain eased to a drizzle in the afternoon so we ventured out
to the area known as "the bandstand".
We acquired a fan who seemed to want to dance in every set and
took some controlling - unlike the 300 or so pigeons who were
better behaved.
This is Brimfield - Kelly, Tony, Ian and Claudia in the picture

This is Bay Horse
Eddie, MikeG and Ann on this side, and Ian, Claudia and Tony on
the other.

Mayflower and Fleet were also there.
We did a somewhat splashy dance together at the end
of the day
|
Mayflower raised a fair amount for Children-in-Need and appeared
briefly on TV during the telethon.
