Probably the best Cotswold morris workshop in the UK is changing for 2024. This year it will be for a single day, in the usual venue, Sutton Bonington near Nottingham, on Saturday January 20th. We'll get in as much of the curriculum as possible from the previous weekend events, so expect it to be quite a long day. Put the effort in and we guarantee to improve your dancing.
The day will start at 0930, with breakfast from 0830, and end with a meal - not a Feast - so that you can get on the road at about 1930. If you're travelling from further afield there should be very limited indoor camping available (it is explicitly forbidden in the main hall) or there are cheap hotels not far away at East Midlands airport.
People from all the JMOs are very welcome. You need to be comfortable dancing set dances from at least one Cotswold tradition. The sessions are as much about dancing well as about dancing jigs, so one ex-Squire refers to it as "an MoT for my Morris".
Cost is expected to be around £30 including all meals. If you're interested, don't reply to this! Email jigsinstructional [at] themorrisring.org and we'll send more details and an application form. Entries don't have to be through clubs, just mention your club (or one of them).
