I think the point of Border is less as a spectacle, more for the enjoyment of the participants.

That said, such sides as Powderkegs, Stone the Crows, et al, are spectacularly fun to watch - their raw enthusiasm coupled with attention to detail stands them apart from some of the 'also rans'... or is that 'also danced'?!

Folkiedave - the Earl of Stamford Morris are a well respected mixed side - and we also have seven very keen under 18s in the side. They were commended recently at Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival...

We regularly do joint 'fun dance outs' with sides such as Adlington Morris and Thelwall, both all male Ring sides.
