The Morris Men of Little Egypt have been part of the Glemsford scene since 1992. Originally set up to support a Church fête, the Side now dances all over the county, country and beyond. Highlights of each year are the celebration of May Day, the Horkey and Boxing Day, and much else in between.
The origins of the Side are dealt with, in part, here; otherwise, just use this page as an index, by following the picture links below.
Derek Southgate
6 October 1932 - 22 September 2003
We are very sad to report Derek's passing.
He was a founding member of the Morris Men of Little Egypt, and our first Bagman
His funeral, on 1 October, showed the respect with which so many people regarded him.
Our thoughts and sympathy are with Sylvie and his whole family.
"A true Man of Glemsford"
