Well, we have mixed and single-sex sides down here in Sussex - all equally good and all equally popular. Chanctonbury Ring are all male and probably part of the Morris Ring (an all-male organisation). Ditchling Morris was started many years ago as a mixed gender team specifically to bring women into Morris dancing. And then there are the Knots Of May, an all-woman team who dance with large floral garlands and are very, very popular.

There's a not a ha'porth of difference in quality between them, and they have full programmes of dancing during the season.

By gum, if we're not careful, they'll be letting women into golf clubs next...
