Editorial

Welcome to summer of 2016. I am writing this just before Sidmouth and am looking forward to a show which we have put together to commemorate the contribution of Roy Dommett to the world of Morris and Sidmouth festival. I also note another about-to-happen event – the Fools Gambit trip to the Somme. This issue is also full of finding lost morris traditions or wondering who owns the ones that are in the public domain – a theme to be continued in the next issue.
