Some friends are looking for a Morris side to perform in Heywood, near Rochdale on Friday 28th November 2008 during the day.

It's a difficult request as most Morris sides are made up of dancers who have to work for a living...Friday being a working day and all that.

Any volunteers or suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks,

John

In yesterday`s "Daily Telegraph" (page 7) there is a small article bemoaning the state of our Morris Dance insomuch as unless there is an injection of youngsters to fill the boots of those that actively retire from the dance, our tradition will die. The concerns are expressed by the Gloucestershire Morris Men.

So, come on you young potential Morrisers. Put down your Ipods and shut down your computer war games for a moment and stamp along to the dance!!
