2007 sees the 32nd consecutive Boxing Day tour by the Morris Team and some of this year’s dancers were involved in the first tour in 1976. Over all those years the team has always danced in Wentworth. Originally the dancing followed after the Hunt had left the Rockingham Arms but nowadays the Hunt is not the regular Boxing Day event it was.
This year the tour begins in Wath town centre at 10.30 am before moving to the Post Office in Wentworth to dance at 11.00 am. Then it’s to the Rockingham Arms for traditional and seasonal songs before dancing down to the George and Dragon for a further dance spot around 1.30 pm. The team then return to Wath for a Music and Dance spot at the Telstar pub at around 2.30 pm and finally the Sandygate Hotel around 4.30 pm. The Sandygate hosts a variety of events, some involving audience participation, and this is also the venue for the annual Bucket Singing competition.
Why not come along and join us - for the whole day or just a part of it - and exercise some of those Christmas Day excesses away.?
