Probably the best Cotswold morris workshop in the UK! It will be held at the usual venue, Sutton Bonington near Nottingham, on Saturday January 17th. There'll be as much of the curriculum as possible from the previous weekend events, so expect it to be 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 or whenever you can drag yourself away from the after-party in the pub. 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 confident dancing the set dances from at least one Cotswold tradition, preferably one involving "slows". 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 last year was £30 including all meals. We'll open entries at the end of October, but if you really want to get ahead of the game email jigsinstructional [at] themorrisring.org (link sends e-mail) and we'll send more details and an application form when they're available. Last year the event filled up and everybody seemed to find it valuable.
