Men with bells on from Bathampton, Chester, Nottingham, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Winchester and Worcester will be coming to Chipperfield on 11 July to make the week-end one of intensive Morris dancing. Yes, its Greensleeves Morris Mens annual week-end of dance.

Friday 11 July at 9.00pm sees the opening ceremony when Greensleeves dance by the tree on the Common commemorating their former Squire, Les Nichols, who lived in Chipperfield. Saturday 12 July sees the clubs out and about during the day. At 6.30pm there will be dancing at the Boot, Tower Hill; at the Plough, Belsize; and the Cart and Horses, Commonwood.

Sunday 13 July is the big day in Chipperfield, with an open-air service at 10.30am in the car park, followed by a show by all the Morris sides at about 11.00am. As in previous years, the Morris men will be providing tea and biscuits. Following a procession to the Windmill at 12 noon, the dancing continues into the afternoon.

Just turn up and enjoy the shows or, for more details, contact Roy Fenton on 0208 879 3527. e-mail rfenton@rfenton.demon.co.uk
