Lymm Rushbearing 2016 was cancelled due to traffic management
issues (despite training by organisers) and lack of Council funding even though other Lymm events
are proceeding as
normal without issue.
The Lymm Morris decided to dance as normal in Lymm that day (including their
pre-rushbearing
dance spots)
Some interested Lymm residents also turned out to walk the rushbearing "route"
This is a picture intensive account of the day.
The canal is behind the crowd (honest)
"The Star"
Musicians (L-R): Peter, Pierre, Alex and Del
Ready to go
Mid dancing the "Double Cast"
Visitor enjoying the unusual event
Team bonding
Selective team with special guest
Instant traffic management problems - a car wants access to the car park
The roads are so busy - would be ironical if hit by only car on the road as it
is musician Pierre driving to the next spot
The team make a brisk pace
"Procession" just about keeping up
The only real traffic problem... ...crossing the A56

"Can I take a selfie" said the lady in blue - turned into a team photo
and not a selfie

Nice wide set on the way back

A similar view to 1840 - perhaps next year we'll take it from further left...
