Editorial

I’ve been overwhelmed by contributions – this quarter it’s a bumper summer issue … so a huge thankyou to all those that have sent items in – if your article hasn’t made it this time .. .it will next!

This edition features a ‘new look’ front cover. We’ve decided to give you a bit of a clue as to what will be inside the newsletter, with the hope that more people will pick it up and READ it!

Dogrose Morris have taken pride of place on the front cover. It shows them doing the Tray Dance’ at Halifax Traditions, 2002. Their recent TV appearance attracted quite a bit of attention … see the article on page 25.

The committee posts of President and Archive Officer have been advertised again in this issue. Please take some time to read the information … and get nominating!

You will notice in this edition that there are several articles regarding our image and the way that we present ourselves as Morris dancers. Our presentation is so important if we want to maintain a positive image of Morris in the public eye …. read the articles and spread the word!!

There are 2 workshops planned for the Autumn, and 1 for the Spring 2004. See page 24 for more information. There is also the Wantage workshop weekend to look forward to, and a workshop organised jointly with the Ring, Open and the MF about Fundraising for Morris.
Please support these workshops and help make them a success.
