RTim	Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris (264* d)	RE: Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris	26 Aug 16
The Chair of the complaining group - FREsh, is NOT white!! So get all your facts right first. Until John Kirkpatrick's Shropshire Bedlam's came into being in the early 1970's there were less than half a dozen teams Blacking Up. That team has now changed to wearing masks as a form of disguise. They are moving with the times, as have many other Border teams who now use a colour other than black. Much else has changed with the times in the Tradition of Border Morris (and Molly Dancing) that makes it totally different from the Tradition as it was collected. Also Border Morris does not have 500 year history. Shrewsbury FF is just trying to encourage teams to use other forms of Disguise to replace Black Face. Tim Radford
