Scandal at Headington

On the Greensleeves Morris site appears this cryptic paragraph:

At one Ring Meeting that the Club attended, the behaviour of Headington Quarry Morris Men so upset those in charge that that club was suspended from the organisation. Kenneth Loveless was so upset by this and other incidents that he refused to wear their kit any more and instead took office as Ring Squire in the colours of his first club, Greensleeves.

Was this one of the interminable rows about dancing with non-Ring or Women-Contaminated sides - or something else? Anyone able to remember and willing to explain?

I believe (on the strength of hearsay only, I must add)it involved a purloined bottle of whisky (or was that at another event?).

Allegedly.

Remember it is not simply the crime but the attempted cover up that follows.
