Rabble Diary 2008


 



2 February 2008 – Whittington ECO day

Sunny weather can be misleading.  We found out at the last minute that we were to be dancing outdoors.  Bob was quoted as closing with ‘we are finished now and we are all going to find a deep freezer to warm up’.

Nevertheless the side gave a very good showing with, for the first time in a long while, the complete show of border, clog and rapper.  A frozen audience seemed to appreciate it but we are not sure whether the clapping was just to warm their hands up.

We are fortunate that we have acquired a bag of ‘homing sticks’ which eventually found their way to Linda’s office.

2 March 2008 – Full Practice Kings Bromley

With a good turnout we still managed to dance 16 Border, 3 Clog, 1 Longsword, 2 Rapper  and a Jig.  Thereafter we concluded business and still got to the pub on time!

Potentially we could provide a program which would keep going until the last audience member was completely sick of Morris Dancing – two dances?

8 & 9 March 2008 – Dert Liverpool

Our intrepid band made it to the competition where we danced in six pubs and on the main stage at the end.

For those who saw the practice at the start it was a wonder that we managed at all!  Only one mistake in all of our show dances which Peter Diffy brilliantly spotted and untangled.

Wisely we did not compete but danced as an exhibition side.  At least we gave the other teams a chance!

20 April – Barton Marina

Cold and damp but did the mebers of the side complain?  Course they did.  Nevertheless we had an enjoyable day and hope to return to the venue soon. 

Given some warmth and sunshine it would be wonderful.

A good turn out ensured a good show.  The one or two who watched it seemed to enjoy it.
