Just a note of thanks to Martin( the Englishman)and the Morris side who danced for us in the square in San Francisco in June. My American friends were so delighted that you were kind enough to perform an unscheduled dance especially for them and the memory will stay with them as a part of a memorable holiday.

What was their kit? We have several sides, and I'd be happy to pass on your message to the correct one, but first I'll have to be able to determine who they are.

Thanks for your prompt response. I haven't got my pictures handy at the moment but I will send a description as soon as I can.

They were wearing red waistcoats, yellow and orange ribbons with black socks. Hope this is helpful in identifying them.

My apologies for taking so long to see your reply!

Berkeley Morris, of whom Martin Harris is a great friend, wear red and black waistcoats; black stockings, shoes, and hats; and white breeches and shirts. Last I saw them (on May Morning), ribbon colors were a personal choice so that's the only element that doesn't quite fit.

So, does this look like the right team? If so, there's a "contact us" link on the team page that you can use if you would like to thank them yourself, or I would be happy, as before, to pass on your thanks. I'm a long-retired member myself, but happily a current member lives next door.

Just in case you don't see this for as long as I didn't see it, to avoid further delay I forwarded your message to two friends on Berkeley Morris. I'm fairly confident that is the right side.

I am sure they will appreciate your kind thought.
