Starting at The George & Dragon

Eddie seems to be calling for a Dilwyn

More of Dilwyn - the cast figure

Brimfield

Eddie facing Emma and Ian facing Sarah

Yateley look on in awe! (or is it disbelief?)

This is Alvechurch Smithy

Mike and Tony at this end of the set

The "forge" figure in Alvechurch Smithy

Hay-on-Wye

We invited Gunther from Yateley to join in - he'd once been a member of OBJ and is possibly the only German morris dancer

I'm not really sure what dance this is!

I'm writing this 6 months later - in fact on Christmas morning

This is definitely Craven Stomp

Mike and Ann at this end of the set

The last dance at The George & Dragon

This is Sheepskins, with Emma and Helen at this end

The Yateley Beast looks on

Off to The Crown, where theres always a warm welcome

I'm not sure what this dance is - maybe another Dilwyn?

Andy and Eddie are at this end of the set

Plenty of movement in this picture

This is "Just as the tide was a'flowin" - affectionately known as "Tide"

Eddie and Helen are nearest

The chorus figure in "Tide" starts with a long "slow"

Mike and Chris face one another

Almost time to adjourn to the pub for music

This looks like Much Gridlock

Helen facing Mike
