2022 - A new year with less isolation... 

Mumming to round off the year :

And a Trelawney shout 

A trip to dance among the Caulkheads (The Isle of Wight MM invited us) 

The end of the pier show

Roger was happy 

Alan joined us - as our Squire seemed to want to leave 

It was confusing dancing next to others with green baldricks 

Thanks to Maggie Reeves and Tony Hayzen for these photos 

 

The Wadebridge folk festival saw us on German TV - Judith Rakers

 

Thursday dance-outs :

The Smugglers Inn & Mawgan Porth 

Vic telling the world our story 

Dudley did us proud 

and our bagman kept busy 

Mevagissey saw us on the Quay

Keen eyes will spot an out-of-county member 

The Good folk of Pentewan haven't caught up with our change to a mixed side

But they did give us a warm welcome 

There was the busy setting of Padstow and the Drang 2022

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 walkabout 2022

 

We walked about - even over across the Bridge 

 And a special Retirement do at Sawles Arms 2022

 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 

 

Trigg was investigated by the BBC !

Their eagle-eyed investigator Jack Murley came to see us practise

He put a very furry microphone under our noses and put us on the radio 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0br77j7 

and he even persuaded us to practise with bells on

- so that he could have a dance with us as well.

The Feast of St Hygenus was face-to-face 

And then there is the question of Trig points 

 That is a concrete block on Helman Tor - not to be confused with Trigg Points 

 

Three sides : Trigg, Tywardreath and Plymouth joined together to celebrate Maurice Dart's 90th Birthday 

 

Looking dapper as ever
