This is a total of 42 different dances. We performed 499 different set dances in public last in the 97/98 season (September-September), 21 of which we danced more than 10 times each. This chart itself does not list 12 other Cotswold Morris set dances which we performed fewer than three times in public in the 97/98 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.
