Editorial

Another year over-weather could have been better but festivals were good in spite of poor weather.  Our cover reflects a theme-Sidmouth and what will will the Phoenix be like in 2006 or afterwards?

Twelfth Night celebrations have been going on over an extended period … there seems to be a lot of wassailing around! I enjoyed seeing The Lions Part who were wassailing and mumming near the Globe Theatre – the mummers play mystified the tourists but was much enjoyed by the regular morris groupies.

Please spread the word-get your friends to read Morris Matters-to to write for it! Thanks as always to Jill Griffiths and Steve Poole for proofreading and technical help.
