HEADLINES Last Update 5^th March 2024 - Next appearance update
I got distracted by life so as ever things are off kelter. The photo galleries acquired a page on "Sidmouth 1987". The foreign tours with Hanover Dansdeel are still to come. Anyone got photos of the visits from Greenwich Morris and Half Moon rapper; or even the trip to France in the 1980's? Must ask Aileen Martin when we see her next.

The team have been invited to Sidmouth Folk Festival and also Shrewsbury. That's a third invite to Sidmouth and a first for Shrewsbury. Good to see the team still getting out and about.See the "Galleries" page for pictures of the 1987 week.

This site was primarily a repository for the history of Wakefield Morris over the first thirty years of existence i.e. when the editor was an active dancer and when the website came into existence. The diary and contacts will still be updated but day to day matters and developing repertoire will no longer be covered. But fear not, from the dusty back room video tapes (younger readers ask your parents) have been recovered and converted to modern DVD format. Details of the "tapes" are now on the "Galleries" page and details of how copies may be obtained. As of 2019 this content is now available in MP4 format. As of November 2016 I have finally completed the sometimes salacious potted biographies that form the "Roll of Honour" of all those who danced with the team in the first 30 years. Still some blanks to fill and always open to updates, the editor is always happy to hear from members or acquaintances.
