Thread Name: May Day
Subject: RE: May Day
Half a dozen Morris sides greeted the dawn in the vilage square Wickham, Hampshire for dance and song, then to breakfast at the camp and 2 coaches off to dance at various sites in the New Forest and Portsmouth way.
We sang Hal an Tow and danced more in the evening before going to the pub for a simgaround.
All very well going to Padstow, but as common ground say, these big events like Padstow May day, Lewes bonfire night etc get overdone at the expense of building up more local events where you live. We could have done with a crowd bigger than 8 in Wickham square!
