JULY 14-16
Greensleeves Morris Men’s annual Chipperfield weekend of dance takes place from 14 to 16 July.  This year, to celebrate Greensleeves 80th birthday, the club is hosting a meeting of the Morris Ring.  Helping to make the occasion even more colourful and musical will be guest clubs from Cornwall, Tyneside, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.
Friday 14 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 15 July sees the clubs out and about during the day.  At 5.00pm there will be dancing at the Windmill in Chipperfield, The Boot at Tower Hill and The Plough in Belsize.
Sunday 16 July is the big Morris day in Chipperfield, with an open-air service at 10.30am in the car park next to St Paul’s Church, followed by a show by all the Morris sides at about 11am.  As in previous years, the Morris men will be providing tea and biscuits to spectators.  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, or rfenton@rfenton.demon.co.uk
