The Jigs Instructional endeavours to inspire the confidence and ability to dance Cotswold Morris Jigs by giving a good basic grounding followed by detailed instruction. We run two streams simultaneously, for the relative novice and for the experienced dancer. There will also be sessions for beginners covering the basics of the Cotswold dance.
The streamed traditions are Bampton, Bledington, Fieldtown, and Sherborne, occupying the Saturday in four sessions of approx. 1½ hours each. In addition there will be selected jigs from other traditions on the Friday evening and Sunday morning and an opportunity to review. More information on the weekend and the streams will follow with the Joining Instructions.
The cost of £44 per man is discounted for Ring Member club delegates who are attending for the first time (£10) or who attended for the first time last year (£5).
The Ring Treasurer will send the appropriate subsidy to your club for those eligible after the event.
For your money you will receive indoor camping facilities including showers, food from Friday supper to Sunday lunch, beer for the Feast, instruction, good company, and a pub that's never heard of closing time.

It's a popular event so early applications are recommended and will be dealt with strictly in the order received. The event is open to the other Morris organisations but restricted to male dancers. We accept dancers at all levels from beginners to advanced.
Although playing for Jigs has slightly different set of requirements/skills from the set dance, we're afraid we do not take musicians.
