OBJ Morris - 2025 Scrapbook

Winchester Mayfest
17 May 2025

Winchester Mayfest was superb.  A very big thank-you to Lucinda and the team!!

We had four of the best dance spots you will find at any festival - The Great Hall, The Museum, The Cathedral and the Buttercross.   Even though we had several members missing, we were probably the most numerous and the noisiest side at the festival.  Well done to our newbies who were excellent! 

Colin & Chris's grandson Thomas and his sister Elodie also joined in with the music.  Thomas was fresh from his groups victory at The Battle of the Bands at his school.  Their mum and dad contributed a lot of the video and some of the pictures below.
