Greenwich Morris on home turf (well, concrete) by the Cutty Sark. We’re off to Rochester today for the very wonderful Sweeps Festival where there will be more Morris sides than you could…er…shake a stick at. ⁦@squiregmm⁩

The Greenwich Morris Light Orchestra playing handsomely at practice this evening.

Greenwich Morris out and about the Royal Borough yesterday. It was cold but dancing keeps you warm - and happy! ⁦@theroyalparks⁩ ⁦@CuttySark⁩ ⁦@squiregmm⁩

Lovely newsletter from Essex Wildlife Trust Uttlesford Local Group - January 2025 - badgers, hedge laying and coppice products, such as the sticks with which Greenwich (and other) Morris sides dance. There’s more to these than meets the eye and ear. mailchi.mp/765d8bdf50df/e…

Greenwich Morris will have our first practice of the year this evening, learning dances for when the evenings get lighter. There’s a warm welcome (and a beer) for any men who would like to have a go. 8.00pm, Mycenae House, SE3 7SE ⁦@MycenaeHouse⁩ ⁦@squiregmm⁩
