Flower Beard Asks... A SHORT INTRODUCTION Hello there,

I’m tired of answering questions, so I thought I should start asking them. I plan to ask one question each issue, collecting and presenting a variety of anonymous answers. You will selected through social media or at random, possibly at a pub. This should give an interesting look at what the morris community is thinking. I will make contact for the next issue!

Mens Morris Team: * Dances consistently poorly *

Morris Community:

Mixed Border Team: * Exists *

Morris Community: This is the problem with morris dancing today, all these mixed teams spending more time on their kit than their dancing. No wonder the standard of dancing is slipping.


Slipping Onto the Scene!
