The day, for us, started at the Opera House

Setting up camp - Geoff spots the picture being taken
Devoted newby, Malcolm, unable to dance due to injury - doing a (walking) stick dance all day

First dance of the day, The Quaker

Good lines, eh?

Everyone on inside foot at this point - spot on, lads

Swooping down - how many dirty hankies from brushing the floor?

Lining up for dance 2 - Galopede

Steve (right), travelling at lightning speed, secures hat during rounds

On then to The Slopes

Camp Thelwall, watching fellow dancers, on this occasion the fellows were ladies.

Ready for the jump start


Some elevation during the dance

After lunch, it's on to Pavillion Gardens

Display team for the day on display - Malcolm, not dancing today, but was still there
L-R: Kevin, Steve, Jasper, Martin, Dave, Rick, Geoff, Rob, Andrew, Pierre, Del


Mid Lichfield Hey in Ring O Bells.
First corners (diagonals) arriving in place as second corners are poised to go.

It's round about the now the photographer was losing interest in watching use - so fewer pictures

Last spot before big finish is at The Hydro

Camp Thelwall - lounge about waiting to dance

Everyone striding to get into the hook leg, mid whole gypsy figure

Back to the Opera  House for everyone's show dance

Lining up for Hunt the Squirrel, a short but pacy dance

Look at that right side - one foot on the ground and the other up

Well, that was us - who else was there (of whom one of us took a picture)

Black Adder Morris	Britannia Coconut Dancers
