Mr Hemmings kick off the evening

With their new addition! – Dancers with bumps!

Quality rather than quantity

See pictures above – what is Les doing?   Answers on a fiver to Nigel!

After a week of heavy snow – the roads cleared and 200 people celebrated 200 years of bell ringing in Appleton – Havocs opened with Ring o Bells from Litchfield

Our illustrious band

And a delightful chance for Appeton to join in! 

Secret skills – Pete and Barbara started the day dancing ring o bells and ended it ringing bells – in a delightful barn at a great community event.

Our Hosts kick off the evening with some NW Clog – followed by Mr and ‘Mrs’ Hemmings! – who now have 4 dancers with bumps!

Thence Whichwayz and A bit of Havoc!

Summertown added a bit of glamour, finesse and a delicate touch and Charlbury brought the cheese and …

Every side needs  cheese person!!

Pete did a turn for the Havocs.

Well, in the event we got about 22 seconds of screen time.

To save you all the trouble of watching an entire hour for those 22 seconds, I’ve extracted the Havocy bits.

This coming Saturday, 10th Feb, on Channel 4 between 8 and 9pm. The final of Village of the Year.

Of course, we may have been edited out. But there’s a risk you’ll have to see a scratch Havoc side doing Constant Billy while trying to ignore the camera drone hovering just overhead.

Saturday 6th January, so somewhere in the region of Twelfth Night, and it’s wassailing time again at Hogacre.

About which we should really write more. Suffice it to say it was the usual fun and games, and lots of loud noises to ensure a fruitful year, and when I can find some pictures I’ll post them.

A chilly but bright Boxing Day at the Bridge – last dance out of the year.

Cry Havocs’ Xmas indulgence – food, beer and song! 

Competition time – What had these ladies been told to evoke this response?  Answers on a £10 to Nigel and remember ‘there are NO prizes’!

Where we woz! – stunning!Jim with wardrobe malfunction – leads a bold Shepherds’ Hey! The sun shone briefly on the righteous! A fine afternoon at a great location – nice to be hear at a civilised hour! 

Hosts kicked off matters!

Stony Steppers – stony stepped!  Woads something bordered and mollied!

Summertown did it daintily  and a Havoc tarted!  More tarts that Towersey!

We just made a quorum and put on a good show and ate well!  Good to see eight sides at an ale!
