John writes: Thanks for turning out in such good numbers and for dancing so well today. I thought we performed extremely well and our dancing was much appreciated by the large friendly crowds and both landlords. The weather was kind to us and to new recruit, Freddie Gasson, who showed great promise in both the Shepherd’s Hey Jig (with 20 dancers!) and as sacrificial horse in Beaux of London City. Thanks in particular to our musician Donald and to Ryan for taking on the lion’s share of the calling.

As I mentioned, we have been invited by the other two local sides to join them at their Winter Warmer in the Institute on the evening of Saturday 10th February. This is largely a social event with just a few dances from each side and some music. Food will be provided by the Adderbury Morris Men and we bring our own drink. Family and friends are most welcome. There is no charge and we wear full kit. Please keep the date in your diary!

Wishing you all a happy New Year
