This year (the 2002/03 season (September-September), we performed 408 dances in public (cf 487 last year, and 597 two years ago), 14 of which we danced more than 10 times each. There was a total of a total of 53 different set dances in our repertoire.

This chart does not list 20 other Cotswold Morris set dances which we performed fewer than six times in public in the same dance season; nor does it take account of performances of rapper sword dances, or jigs performed by individual side members.

The "Tradition" column is merely a convenient handle, to identify the style in which we perform the dance; many of the above dances are "all our own work". For "Ascott", read "Bristol Morris Men’s Ascott style", and so on.
