Bristol Morris Men Cornwall Tour, May 1997
This year Earlsdon Morris Men invited us to join them on one of their regular holiday tours in Cornwall. We all stayed at Ringwell Valley, near Truro, and a good time was had by all. Here are some snaps taken over the weekend.

Horse puts the wind up some of the tourists!
To become full members of Bristol Morris Men, and earn a seal for your baldrics, you must first perform a jig in
public. Here are young Nicholas and Jeremy Cooke earning their seals with a Bledington-style "I'll go 'list..."
Performing an Oddington dance at the Campsite. (Wrong hand, young Nicholas!!!)
The average age of Bristol Morris men has fallen dramatically this last year.
Some of our musicians jamming by the pool.
Hoisting a maiden in "The March Past". Fair takes it out of you, these days...

Just four days later, Bristol were off to perform in Hanover.
