Editorial

This issue was a positive pleasure for me to compile because for the first time in a few years I have been the recipient of several really interesting and diverse articles on Morris – almost all without my having to chase round likely authors and think up ideas! I have really enjoyed it – the more so since many of them came on disc ready typed . Please – more of the same!!

For those who haven’t already asked – my computer prefers Wordperfect 6.0 but an ASCII text file is fine – so long as it’s on a 3 5” double sided, high density disc. I hope everyone enjoys the thicker issue after the last one being a bit thin. I know of several articles still in the pipeline – but everyone has the problem of competing priorities and some of them are long in gestation!

If you want some ideas of what other people might like to read about here are some ideas that are being tossed around:

• do people take their morris kit seriously (do all team wear the same items – if so can you get supplies a few years hence, correct sort of footwear for the activity, clothes that aren’t too tight to perform the movements, wear sports bras …. )?
• do we keep fit for morris or morris to keep fit? (this prompted by a phone call I received from a journalist who was convinced that we all do morris to keep fit – because it’s more fun than aerobics – which I think it is I But personally I do other things to keep fit in order to dance morris)
• how do we recruit and keep young members??
