I dont have much to contribute to this argument since I know practically nothing about Morris. However I have (many years ago) seen these troops of young girls doing what seemed to me Cheerleader type dances and passing it off as Morris which I thought was something of a travesty. By all means have the dancing competitions but to me it is nothing like true Morris.

I have been truly delighted and excited when on the odd occasion I have been out in the countryside and come across a group of Morris Men doing their stuff outside the village pub. Brilliant! And long may it continue.

On a slightly differen note, apparently the PM programme on Radio 4 will be doing a feature on Morris later today, Friday, sometime between 5 and 6pm. Should be worth listening to I reckon.
