The Trigg Morris Website - Bodmin Cornwall
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Phil Champion
after a long fight with the Covid-19 Virus. Phil was a well respected dancer
with Tywardreath Morris and Trigg and our Squire 2017-18
Trigg's first encounter with Phil was around 1990 as a minibus driver who was engaged to deliver some of us home after those evenings out when there was some reluctance among the side to be the nominated driver. He enjoyed being with the team and we were invited to dance at his 40th Birthday celebration in 1991. We asked him to join in and he proved to be a natural!
He became a team member immediately and by 1992 was dancing out, quickly becoming a proficient performer and a firm friend, confidante & valued member of the side. He was also always the first to offer friendly advice and guidance to any new Trigg member.
Phil had a modest nature, so, it took several approaches before he agreed to stand for election as Squire, and having finally accepted the nomination in 2016 was elected unopposed. He held the position for the 2017 & 2018 seasons and carried this out with his exemplary skill & diplomacy, and leading the side confidently at the Hartley & Whitchurch meetings of The Morris Ring.
Phil's career with Trigg will long be remembered with great affection, and all our thoughts are with Viv and the family at this very sad time.
