Newsletter Summer 2015

The 40th anniversary of The Morris Federation features prominently in this issue, together with signficant anniversaries from other sides. Our Notation Officer describes how to access some of tremendous amount of material now available, and some of the tasks still to be undertaken. There’s also a good mix of interesting articles on a range of subjects – dancing for the internment of Richard III, a beer named after a morris side, a bureaucratic nightmare from Cyprus – and many more.
