A great evening, delightful pub, appreciative audience and great companions – Owlswick Morris!  Look out for a return to here next year – assuming the beer was up to scratch!

There’s that loving look – last seen at Westway!

On a hot June day Havocs danced until they nearly dropped!  Spot the dancer doing – Pete’s not that tall really and who fancies who – a longing glance across the set – that is reciprocated!!

 A rather cool ‘summer’ evening – a great way to celebrate Suzie’s birthday; a dance out with Summertown Morris in Old Marston, Oxford.  A delightful pub set against the River Cherwell and its water meadows – very Constable!

At last a sunny, warm summer evening  at the Prince of Wales – a splendid turnout led to several dances with two sets.

Just as well, in fact, there were plenty of us there, and we had no guest side with us. And so no opportunity to relax between dances.

Dance out with Old Speckled hen – a delightful summer evening – warm weather at last greeted the two sides.

The weather was even good enough for the post-dance music session to take place outdoors. All in all, a fine evening.

Havoc spreads to Berkshire – a splendid night out in a delightful rural idyll – lots of free food, great dancing, great pub and FREE beer!   A grand dance out with OBJ from Bracknall to an ideal Morris venue.  Oliver seems to struggle on his third pint – “is this really a pint and have I got to finish this one!”  Mind you as the night drew on a motorist managed to run over his foot as they left the car park – many thanks to all that rallied round.

A splendid early summer evening saw Havoc at the Railway Inn, Culham, with good friends the Towersey Morris Men.

The Railway Inn is an ideal spot for anyone who likes to combine a bit of Morris with a bit of train spotting. Trains pass regularly, which can lead to problems hearing the musicians.

‘Sidesteps’ at the Railway Inn, Culham

Monday night!

What with the baggies stuffing the blues!

The rain, wind and a glorious rainbow!

The havocs joined Mr Hemmings at a new venue and explored a new formation (4 member Morris) and a new approach to Morris music – ‘She’s playing a cello, that’s a first’! said one Mr Hemmings – little did he know it was a first in many ways or us all!  Brilliant effort – mandolin, cello and fiddle all acquitting themselves with aplomb – and a Litchfield Hey to die for!

Levellers day May 16th Burford

Getting ready – to march them up to the top of the hill – but fortunately not to march them down again!

We processed to the recreation ground at the top of the town from the church at the bottom

At the top the musicians, apart from playing splendidly played that old game – see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and wot me evil! Your guess!

May day 2015 – dancing from 515am till much later!  Once the beer flowed we forgot we had started so early and no one can recall when we stopped!  Ben made a welcome appearance – keen to dance out – or keen to sample fine ale at 6am – your guess!  Our two youngest members got a good workout before going on to school!  Some of the more mature members had to lie down in a darkened room later in the day!!

may day  – a fine band of minstrels
