OBJ Morris - 2017 Scrapbook

New Years day - The Roebuck, Wickham
1st January 2017

Another new venue for our traditional New-Years-Day with Wickham Morris

A bit of a shaky start as the eather was threatening rain. So we adjourned to the covered area at the back of the pub, together with an appreciative audience, and it was comfortably warm and dry - a bit of a first for New Years Day.

Plenty of dancing, followed by a topical mummers play, then into the pub for food, drink, music and song

OBJ comprised: Andy, Ali, Ann, Chris,Clare, Claudia, Colin, Eddie, Jane, Joe,Philip, Sarah and Tony

The forces of good prevailed
