Talk – Goathland Plough Stots – a Long Sword Tradition (LIVE on Zoom)

Talk – Goathland Plough Stots – a Long Sword Tradition

Keith Thompson will talk about the history of the Goathland Plough Stots Long Sword tradition in North Yorkshire.  Including a tour of their Hut (The Reading Room) where the Plough Stots rehearse and keep their uniforms and ephemera: swords, competition cups, photographs, papers.  There will be time for Q&A.

Your host

Keith Thompson is the Honorary President of Goathland Plough Stots to which he has belonged for some 40 years – a novice compared with some team members who are younger than him.

To register

Please complete this online form: Register for the Talk – Goathland Plough Stots Long Sword Tradition; you will receive a confirmation email immediately (check your spam/junk/promotions folder!).  We will send you a Zoom link a couple of days before the event.  Open to all – you don’t have to be a member of a team in The Morris Federation.

Optional Donations
