2022 - A new year with less isolation...
Thursday dance-outs have recommenced
The Good folk of Pentewan haven't caught up with our change to a mixed side
But they did give us a warm welcome
even if we balance on one leg
There was the busy setting of Padstow and the Drang
We also saw St Columb and had fun it seems
And St Mawgan dancing on the slope (again)
We went as far East as we could to Tideford
and the people you meet there !
And also the Eliot Arms
St Kew Highway
Lostwithiel Monmouth Square & Royal Oak
And a special Retirement do at Sawles Arms
We went to the pub-free zone that is Pengover Green
and entertained people in our colourful manner
We then went on to Menheniot for more fun and dancing in the street
Outside the White Hart
I've seen that dance step on our posters Elaine !
Neil apparently in another dance altogether
With Malcolm - our own David Bailey
And an ever eager Terry
We had a big crowd in Fowey where we helped the Mayor light a Jubilee Beacon
And of course we had to light something ourselves - Sparklers !
We went to Lanlivery and Luxulian
At the first spot Trigg was down to earth
At Luxulian it was more star-struck
We went off-piste to Coombe
(no pub , but lots of people and fewer sticks than ideally necessary)
We took some beer
And the good folk of Coombe joined in
A smaller dance spot and crowd followed at Summercourt
We went to Altarnun and Five Lanes - meeting Lady Cyclists and a convenient hat stand
The Easter Tour happened
As well as posing in Launceston - we danced
and Trigger snuggled
But enough of that - on to Lewannick and the Archers Inn there
And to more posing at Jamaica Inn
And after that - there was Blisland and Lanivet - a blissful day

We gathered at Tywardreath on April 9th to celebrate the passing of Phil Champion
- well loved dancer and erstwhile Squire
Thanks to Covid-19 we had to wait two years to do this
We processed to the New Inn where Tywardreath Morris joined us
And the day was rounded off with a lot of box playing
Many friends were there
We got on Radio Cornwall with Jack Murley
Very unusual photograph of Trigg practising with bells on (?)
Three sides : Trigg, Tywardreath and Plymouth joined together to celebrate Maurice Dart's 90th Birthday
Looking dapper as ever
And still he dances !
After Lichfield he went on to Fieldtown, and then a jig !
The Feast of St Hygenus was face-to-face
And then there is the question of Trig points
This is a concrete block on Helman Tor - not to be confused with Trigg Points
