Lets kick off with the team photo
In true Lymm Morris Dance fashion, some members are distracted by other
things
L-R (standing): Ian, Andrew, Rob, Pierre, Alex, Martin, Tony, Peter,
Rick, Dave, Geoff
L-R (kneeling): Steve, Del
Before the
event proper, we met up at The Brewery Tap, and danced there, too
The figure called The Star
The end of the dance - well about one second after the end - the
hankies have drooped
Then on to the Lower Dam
The Music Men: Alex, Del, Pierre and Peter
Last pair set off in the figure Cast Up
Set to dance a second tim for the benefit of the local magazine
photographer
Short break then off to the Village Hall to prepare for the procession
Walkers (and dancers) gather at Pepper Street Car Park before setting
off...
...led by the Lymm Town Crier...
Followed by walkers and us, with more behind
The route is shortened courtesy of the Council, so turn right into
Rectory Lane instead of processing through the village
Thelwall Morris join the procession with home made Garland made from
rushes
Lymm May Queen followed by Lymm Morris, the WI groups and Bollin Morris
at the back (honest)
Crossing the main road to the Church
Bollin arrive at the Church
Lymm depart for the Church Green |
Others do a quick kit
check
|
A swift pint
and the teams dance - first up are Bollin
Music...
|
...and Dance...
|
...whilst the Lymm Lads watch
A bit of Still Life
Raring to go
Going
Music...
|
...and dance |
The first photograph, I think, of the most recent "new" figure "Outside
Square"
No limp hankies here
Then it is
back down to the Church to process back to the Village Hall, again,
only down Rectory Lane
We line up again as though we'd never been away
Brisk walk - hand movements only. The sequence known as "Hands"
Chris Limb, counted them all out and counts them all back
Back at the
car park, cars want to come out and we want to get in
|
The band are on their own
full of indecision

It's all over for another year
