Yes Ivor has passed on.

Ivor received EFDSS Gold badge, a year or two ago and he filled in missing information on his early EFDSS work as a teacher at Whitby ff meeting (I was there) of I think social dance) pre TV times etc!

He was Squire of the Morris Ring twice I believe

A good friend of the late Father Ken Loveless and Bert Cleaver who now lives in the Barnsley area, BLST musician [Pipe and Tabor] himself a keen singer at Christmas of Sheffield Carols

Ivor was instrumental in introducing and setting up Barnsley Longsword team and was certainly an advisor in setting up Wath Morris Men (Wath ~ Tim Binns, Eric Presley, Dave Wigfield, I think initially?)

BLST came out of Barnsley folk club members and included, Derek Elliot, Jim Potter, Bob Musgrave, Dave Martin, Tom Owen, John Booker, and others in the early team (circa 1968?)

Mick Roberts, Ron and Jack Ledger I believe are key members currently or BLST
