Happy New Year!

There are various themes in this issue from dragons in Tony Lidington ‘s reminiscence of the Night at Sidmouth and in George Frampton’s visit to the Salisbury Giant to following in Kemp ‘s footsteps one way or another in the articles by Julie Mackenzie and Sue Swift. Thanks to all the researchers and enthusiasts who steadily contribute articles; without you this magazine wouldn’t exist! Please do write in about anything you feel is related to Morris – do you agree with what other people have said?

On a worrying note, how many times did you hear about the threats to music performances? Petitions were flying around. Let’s hope bureaucracy doesn’t hamper our tours in the future too much.
