2009 - June - Wantage Twinning Association at The Pack Horse

 

With Vale Islanders as hosts, Old Speckled Hen and Lumbawakk as guests, we danced the evening in the tiny front tarmac garden at the Pack Horse on Milton Hill one 'ot June evening to entertain some charming German visitors from Seesen. A thirsty night was had by all.

We are very grateful to Adrian Dorling for forwarding on some lovely photos taken by Keith Diment. Thank you both.


Vale Islanders Playford style 17th century dancing
The evening took the normal format - each team take turns to do one dance.
This gives each team time to plan their next dance and
in our case change in or out of tatter jackets as necessary.







Old Speckled Hen North West style clog dancing
 
Then we invited the Seesen visitors, dignatories from Wantage, Vale Islanders and Old Speckled hen to join us for a spot of Border Morris, and Tinners Rabbit was enjoyed by all, to the music Go Mauve played by musicians from all three morris sides.
