Margaret in 1951
The May Queen celebrations were re-started in Lymm after the 2nd World War in 1947.
Practice in 1948
At last the 1948 team
At this time there was a great deal of dancing and a wide variety of dance - much of it organised by Mrs. Shaw who ran a school of dance, and formed and trained the Lymm Embassy Morris Dancers who later became the Lymm Embassy Entertainers.
The Embassy Morris Dancers and Entertainers/Acrobats practised in the Conservative Club, and were taught by Mrs. Clare Shaw.

Margaret wondered if her auntie Kathleen Hankey (nee Leigh) could be the Mrs. Hankey that taught the Heatley Boys Morris Dancers.
Gloria "Going Over" in 1952
Gloria Eastwood - the flying leaper in the dramatic acrobatic photograph - went on to run her own dance school in the Stockton Heath area under the name of "Gloria Blair".
