OBJ Morris - 2014 Scrapbook
Woods Day at Jocks Lane Park, Bracknell
23rd February 2014
This is a very popular annual event, and a lot of people turn up to enjoy
the various stalls and exhibits, including the birds of prey, woodworking,
miniature railway - and us.
OBJ comprised: Alison, Andy B, Andy W, Ann, Anna, Chris, ChrisD, Clare,
Colin, Eddie, Gill, Jane, Joe, Karen, Marian, MikeG, Nikki, Philip,
Sarah, Tony and Vera We had quite a lot of help from Rob, Lynda and
Jessica
We get started with the customary warm-up dance - Dilwyn
Andy B, not yet in kit, gets ready

Witchmens Thistle in progress
The white lines of the tennis courts ensured nice straight lines
|
The rag jackets are doing what they are designed to do - assisted
by a strengthening breeze
Chris, Philip, Tony and Eddie cross over
Lynda joined us for the day, and has the lagerphone in this
picture

Witchmens Thistle coming to a conclusion
Karen and Chris facing us
|
The notation for this says (with a bit of embelishment):
Arms aloft at 45 degrees, fist clenched, pause for applause and
adoration, then dance off
|
|
|
Some of the audience is inspired to invent their own dance
|
A bit more dancing
Eddie, Karen and Andy W are facing us
|
|
|
An East Acton gets under way, with the incredibly long and
complicated instructions.
The children listen carefully and take it all in, and do an
excellent job
|
The "sticking" part of East Acton
Lynda and Clare gets down to the right level.
Strange how many children recognised Clare despite her disguise!

East Acton comes to a conclusion.
This is Sarah and daughter Jessica in the pink boots
|
Here's a later dance in progress
You can see Jessica-pink-boots making up her own version
|
|
|
So we thought she ought to join in and do a proper dance
Here she is dancing Dilwyn opposite Sarah, with Chris on hand to
help her
|
Then off to the Indian Restaurant for their Sunday Buffet.
While we were waiting for our table for 19, we did a few dances
- in this case Sheepskins, assisted by the chef (who had yellow
hands from handling curry spices!)
Several of the kitchen staff came out to watch - it's a wonder
that anyone got fed that day
|
|
|
And here's Hay-on-Wye, with Jessica wielding two sticks that are
nearly as big as her
|
Two of our newbies - Karen and Sarah, with a friend
As "Old Mr Grace" would say - they're all doing very well!
