The Anker Morris Men of Nuneaton (the W is indeed silent; there are no jokes on the name we haven't already heard) traditionally start their season on the nearest Saturday with their St. George's tour.

10.30am dancing in Market Bosworth, then again once the pubs have opened. Off to Pinwall, which doesn't appear on many maps, for lunch and dancing at the Red Lion.

The afternoon will be spent outside the Market Tavern in Atherstone, then at the Church End Brewery. Times? We're bound to be running late by then, but probably about 3 and 4pm respectively.

All of English life will be there, from the middle-class ladies who manage to cross the square in Market Bosworth pretending they simply haven't seen twenty morris men, via the shaven headed, England-shirt-wearing pride of British manhood that seems to infest Atherstone these days, to the best of English beer and civilised environments that is Church End, one of our best kept local secrets (oh, bum, now it isn't...).

All supporters welcome.
