SUMMARY:Morris 18 - 30 Leicester 2014
DTSTART:20141017T170000Z

DESCRIPTION:In 2014 the Morris 18-30 will visit Leicester for the weekend
  of 17-19 October.\n\n
  The finest weekend on the Morris calendar\, now celebrating two
  years without a broken bone!\n\n
  Morris 18-30 provides a network for young Morris Men. Its
  primary activity is to organise an annual weekend\, hosted by a
  Morris Ring side\, to which all young Morris Men are invited.
  Morris 18-30 also seeks to represent the views of all young
  Morris Men.\n\n
  	The aim is to encourage a group of energetic young men who\,
  whilst representing their own local teams\, can dance together
  helping to push the Morris Ring into the future.\n\n
  The annual Morris 18-30 weekend began in 2002. It was the idea
  of Alastair Hutchinson and Graham Hubbard\, both of whom have
  danced for the majority of their lifetimes. Realising that
  there are loads of young chaps out there dancing with teams all
  over the country they thought it sensible to get them all
  together.\n\n
  The weekend is hosted by a different morris team around October
  each year. The host side is encouraged to help as much as
  possible towards the weekend (with food\, beer\, best dancing
  spots\, etc) but have little input to dancing\, playing\,
  singing and drinking.\n\n
  	Men attending the Morris 18-30 weekend proudly wear their
  local side's kit\, and should be inspired to go back and
  recruit young blood to their own teams. As the years pass\, an
  increasing number of teams are able to send full sides of men.\n\n
  At Days of Dance and Ales people rarely mingle properly and get
  to know other guys outside their own side. The initial
  intention of Morris 18-30 (and still the most important) is to
  get young dancers together to simply have a great weekend\,
  dance\, drink and have a laugh. But it also serves the purpose
  to showing people what morris can be like with a set of
  energetic under-thirties jumping about.\n\n
  Shoppers in towns and cities across the country certainly seem
  to notice that it's Morris\, but that something is different.
  We basically 'kick more ass' than most Morris teams they've
  seen before. We hope to raise the profile of the Morris and
  encourage young guys to dance!\n\n
  It's for any type of Morris\, though mostly Cotswold dancers
  turn up. It would be great to see others there to dance\, play
  or just for the crack. There is time and space for scratch
  Rapper/North West/Border/etc teams to practise show dances as
  well as us Cotswold lot.\n\n
  It's all very informal and relaxed\, don't worry about turning
  up by yourself - everybody else is in the same boat and so you
  get chatting to everyone quickly\, especially after a few
  beers.\n\n
  Each weekend has its own ideas\, but basically Friday night is
  chance to meet everyone and run though some dances\, Saturday
  is the main day of dance - a walking tour of the town or city
  you have travelled to. On Sunday the host team will invite
  other local sides to join in for the grand finale! If you don't
  meet the criteria\, you are more than welcome in kit on the
  Sunday\, and to come and watch us on the Saturday\, but civies
  only please!\n\n
  More information\, when available\, will be published here\,
  on Facebook and on the website too
