metcheck saying Saturday looking a bit better and Sunday pretty awful in the morning

And it is going to be cold.

the Observer Book of Morris and other Folk Dance. Found a medieval woodcut image of dancers (public domain) for the front cover / short descriptions of different species of Morris (Cotswold, Border, Molly, Rapper, etc.) and filled it with pages to complete.

left page is blank for photo or sketch

right page is printed with following (including lines to write on):


Date observed ______________

Name (of group, side, team i.e. Gong Scourers)___________

Species (type of Morris team i.e. Border, Rapper, Clog)

Natural Habitat (geographic location – home patch)

Migratory Pattern (location at time of observation)

Plumage (description of kit, clothes, tatters, face paint, props, etc.)

Display (description of dances, songs and instruments observed)

Notes (number of dancers, male, female or mixed group. etc.)

I made an A5 book, printed it out at work and paid for the copy of 16 pages at 10p per page. Then used big stapler in conservation to staple it along fold.
Maybe I should show it to Sweeps organisers. They could print off a load next year and sell to raise funds.
