A load of pictures showing Thelwall Morris Men's day at Croft Carnival
It all starts at the Memorial Hall
Standing around waiting for the floats to arrive for all walkers to filter into the procession
From the Memorial Hall starting point we pass The General Elliot
Processing past crowds
Walking behind Green Van Man, past trees and fields (Andrew, unable to dance today, walks alongside)
Bit of a dance for the big crowd at The Horseshoe - this figure is foot down [the set]
Extreme left is Malcolm, in kit, but unable to dance or walk, only spectate
End of short dance and now facing the right way
Having left civilisation for about 500m, the procession rejoins the housing estate
The Winster Processional for the watching residents, followed by a dance on the stree corner
Getting down low for the Quaker |
Finish with left foot and hankies in the air - well done, lads
|
Almost there and Rob readies the team for Hey Diddle Diss, dance in single file, to get onto the Carnival Field
L-R: Jasper, Del, Rob, Geoff, Rick, Henry, Martin, Steve, Kevin
Rob begins the overtaking routine as he passes Green Van Man - the trailer is called...
Our Henry passing Green Van Man, Henry
As short performance around the field, up close and dangerous to the onlookers, before dancing in the arena.
By now, Andrew has joined the band.
Not so upclose onlookers, but at least we have the monopoly of the sound system so the instruments can be heard
