Hi Chris.
We Ducks can run into problems due to having kids to organise at different times during the day. We haven't seen a programme yet, so do not know what they are likely to be doing and when.
We will, of course be out with Whitby Scratch Morris, and "organising" them is about as much as I can manage these days.
Scratch routine tends to be Meet in the back yard of the Plough (no song or music allowed) ready to dance out at 1.00pm. We then usually dance in the street at the front of the pub - in front of the church on the other side of the street. After that, we usually head in the direction of the East Side Market, although there isn't much space to dance there since one of the cafes was allowed to put tables across the space we used to dance in. We usually dance in The Shambles (pub), (around 2pm) although on last count singing wasn't allowed, only the music accompanying the dancing. Another outside dance spot is followed by heading to The Board around three, for a pint and a sing.
With the Scratch, if a suitable place is free, there can be other dance spots, but other than meeting up, times and places can vary.
I may give someone a mobile phone number to track us down.
Quack!
Geoff.
