Captain Birdseye

The Snail,thats why a lot of women sides were formed originally[1970s],so that they could dance ,because they were not allowed to dance with the men[where have you been,or maybe you werent born then].

Actually, I was dancing morris in the seventies with Chanctonbury Ring and a University side that became Brighton Morris Men. Both of these remain men only. Around that time I knew the women who formed the Knots of May (Garland and Clog) and Cuckoo's Nest (Cotswold) both of which remain women only. Not long after, Ditchling Morris was formed as a mixed side which it remains. There are umpteen other sides within twenty miles. Nobody needs to feel excluded.

I'll ask again, do you have any evidence that anyone has ever not been able to find a side to join?
