SUMMARY:Wessex Morris Men 70th Anniversary Ale weekend Revisited
DTSTART:20270709T160000Z
DTEND:20270711T140000Z
DESCRIPTION:\n\n
      70th Anniversary Ale weekend 9th to 11th July 2027 -
  invitation\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      Wessex Morris Men invite interest from sides to join with
  them next year in celebrating 70 years of dancing in Dorset and
  beyond.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      The weekend will be based in Cerne Abbas\, home of the
  famous chalk giant\, and will hopefully\n\n
      see us reunited with sides with whom we have shared good
  times and maybe some itinerant\n\n
      team members.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      It will be a relaxed affair and afford the opportunity to
  see what Dorset has to offer\, particularly\n\n
      on coach tours of the area on the Saturday.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      Accommodation will be largely indoor camping in the village
  hall which will also serve as our\n\n
      meal venue\, so there may be a degree of de-camping
  required. For those more used to\n\n
      'glamping' in their own vehicles (or even preferring
  outdoor camping) we are investigating local\n\n
      options and of course the area boasts many a B&B should you
  require the comforts of home.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      Our plans are at an early stage but the outline schedule
  is:\n\n
      Friday – arrive mid-afternoon onwards\, settle in\, share
  ale and enjoy tea/supper in the hall\, with\n\n
      optional do-it-yourself entertainment in the village
  hostelries (short walk) in the evening\;\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      Saturday – after breakfast depart on coach tours of Hardy
  country and our bucolic surroundings.\n\n
      Lunch will of course be provided to break the day. Back for
  tea and a relax before a sumptuous\n\n
      feast in the evening and entertain yourselves as Friday
  evening until you retire\;\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      Sunday – activities still to be determined\, but will
  include optional Morris involvement in the\n\n
      church service. A 'Dorset' buffet lunch will follow to set
  you up for your journey home.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      We will have a natural limit of 100 (including Wessex MM)
  imposed by the size of the hall. The\n\n
      anticipated (subsidised) cost will likely be between £80
  and £90.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      Would you please respond with your side's initial interest
  (and potential numbers) to the e-mail\n\n
      below. ‘Oddfellows’ are welcome to represent sides and
  share their talents with others over the\n\n
      weekend\, and there will be facilities to accommodate
  female side members separately as\n\n
      required.\n\n
  \n\n
