An impromptu soirée

It was dark by the time we arrived but Fred had organised some lighting in the pub garden so that we could see our sticks.

The ground was not exactly level so footwork was a little approximate.

Mr Bangs had forgotten his kit so danced in the guise of a retired thatcher.

It was to be a busy evening so we were limited to three dances before inviting the pub customers to join us in a special performance of Vandals.

"Look at my stick" cried the locals!

Then it was inside the pub for an evening of singing, playing and reciting. With Neville acting as MC, Fred led the way with "Pleasant and Delightful".

Terry, Special Constable Bangs, Ruth, Martin, Brian, Alasdair, Maggie, Bob, Hazel, Doods and Kevin each did a turn or two with percussion from the Little Egypt rattlers, along with Gayle from Bury fair (who kindly supplied the photos of us dancing in the garden) singing a couple of saucy East Anglian songs.

The Landlord rounded off the evening by juggling a couple of bar tables.

A rather splendid if unusual evening with the Morris (but how a good round-the-room sesh should be Ed).
