This year (the 98/99 season (September-September), we performed 509 dances in public, 21 of which we danced more than 10 times each. There was a total of a total of 49 different set dances in our repertoire.

This chart does not list 19 other Cotswold Morris set dances which we performed fewer than four times in public in the same dance season; nor does it take account of performance 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.
