Items of note

• The team attended IVFDF 2016 in Coventry. Many beers were drunk. On the way home Alix bought a train ticket to Shenfield by mistake. These events may have been connected.
• We had a lot of fun at the JMO day of dance in York. James found that a 50 pence piece fitted exactly inside a 3/4″ bell, simultaneously losing him 50p and making said bell useless.
• Chris Taylor won the inaugural Cliff Barstow Jig Competition at Shepley Spring Festival.
• We pulled the Ossett Beercart. Again.
• The team attended Sidmouth Folk Week to run kids’ morris workshops. A fantastic week of teaching, dancing and making new friends. Ali made a new friend and put up with Clive all week.
• We attended Shrewsbury Folk Festival as part of a sizeable Sheffield contingent which also included Sheffield Steel and Pecsaetan. We had a consistent two sets up and danced a four-set Country Gardens with Pecsaetan.
• Special thanks to Darren and Liz for sorting us loads of new kit this year.
