Pictures – Trigg Morris

What follows are a series of photographs of Trigg and our friends – thanks to those who took them over the past 50 years

The last Summer dance out was at Blisland

(Where our Squire called the final dance of her tenure)

There was a brief pause in the rain – so we and friends Barrel Morris

danced at Lewannick and then the heavens opened….

The Cornwall Folk Festival called for us to dance

We went to Polmear and Tywardreath (when it was a little dark)

We danced under the instruction of our Squire elect – sometimes with sticks and then – not

We danced on the Quay at Meva (gissey)

and folk joined us in Princess Royal

We also sang in the Fountain (PH)

We had a brief interlude to celebrate a 50th Wedding Anniversary (Pete & Linda)

We went back to Trevarrion after 30 years and moved a table or two

(and weren’t delayed by Boardmasters at all )

And then went on to see the sunset and dance at the Merrymoor (Thanks Nick & Dudley !)

We even borrowed somebody from the crowd

We met Germans at Pentewan, and Mexicans at Polgooth

The Germans were in search of their TV Star Judith Rakers (we met in 2022)

We went to the Silver Ball at St Columb

(Neil didn’t get arrested )

And then the Falcon at St Mawgan (on the slope)

We danced out by the Charlestown Lock gates (under repair alas)

Together with our friends from Tywardreath Morris

We had a large band at times

We were joined by Carn Brea Morris at St Newlyn East and Cubert

We went to Fowey

Neil took his own clock for timekeeping

Others joined in for Bonny Green

and we danced off with a lot of waving

We went to Pendogget

and then to St Kew

We went to Teignmouth with lots of other folk

We went to Lanreath – arriving 1 day before the re-opening

And then went to The Crumplehorn with a much smaller audience than hitherto

We went to one closed pub – Minions – and we planned to visit the second at Lanreath

We went to Hayle with Carn Brae, Boscastle, Tywardreath , Pensans and the Wad

We went to Pillaton with Plymouth Clog and Plymouth Morris

With Ian barracking from the sidelines

Midway through a Lichfield Hey

And Vic directed the traffic !

We went to St Mabyn and livened up the football practice

and onto St Breward

We met Boscastle Border Morris at Chapel Amble

as well as their own Beast

and then played outside because of the Quiz

Then Probus

Not forgetting “Mr Thimbles”

And all on one leg ?

Trigger trying to get in a selfie again

And we joined in the collective singing of “I vow to thee my country” for VE day

The first Thursday was Caradon :

and the question remains what is the Collective noun for Hats (Thanks Peter)

We started dancing for real on Easter Monday

At Launceston we were greeted by the Town Crier Rob Tremaine

He’s been doing that job since 1977 – almost as long as us – so we presented him with a tankard

We went on to Lewannick

People joined in

And then onto Blisland in the Sun

Wassailing was done at Toynes House

The trees were toasted and fed with cider

And then there is the inevitable Feast of St Hyginus (Ta to Peter Glaser)
