Shambles Picture Gallery 2003 - 2004







Dancing in Wokingham Town Centre, one of the trades-descriptions-act-breaching 'Sunny Saturdays' Gigs. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version Standing about at the Bull, Stanford Dingley. There's obviously something very interesting happening to the right of the frame. Perhaps it explains why Ian's tuba is wearing a policeman's helmet.
By a complex process of deduction I am able to inform you that this photo is from St Michael's Fete, Kew. From left to right; Kerry, Julia, Mike, Lyn, Morag, Margaret, Ian F, Our latest recruit Sandra, Anne and Ian O. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version Dancing at the aforementioned fete. My sources have been unforthcoming as to whether the fete was indeed worse than death.
The ever popular Six Bells at Burghfield. The dance is Windmill. You can just about make out Roy Dommett watching in the background. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version Another picture from the Six Bells. Shirley dancing Shepherd's Hey with her usual gay abandon.
Posing in Trafalgar square, at a spectacular Day of Dance organised in celebration of the recent PEL reforms. The first outing of our equally spectacular new banner, made by Barbara in honour of the occasion. (Editor's notice: Please note I am not really that short. And neither is Gill.)

Click to see full size version A lot of morris dancers outside the National Gallery. Where's Wally? Or possibly where are the wallies... Bet you can't spot us. No points for Hilary, Jenny and Ian, right of shot and late as usual.
When you think you've found us, or give up, click here for the answer.
Dancing Portsmouth at the Reformation, Gallowstree Common on a rainy day in March. From left to right (swaying like the sickly stirrings of a stormy sea) are Sandra, Julia, Jenny, Hilary, Lyn, Kathy, Margaret and Barbara. Phoenix Morris get seasick in the background. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version Gallowstree Common was the first day out in kit for new recruit Frances, and very well she did too. Here she is in Shepherd's Hey, dressed in the red kit.
Later on in Portsmouth, (but still at Gallowstree Common) a rare moment of linear perfection. Shirley looks on, astounded, and Dave Williams does very well not to swallow his fiddle. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version The Bull at Stanford Dingley. The most remarkable thing about this photo is the kit colour co-ordination, here we are not clashing with quite the usual panaché.
To finish the evening at the Bull, we had a double Shepherd's Hey with Kintbury. First prize to Kinbury for having the good sense to dance a shorter version! Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version A 'Sandra's Eye View' of Upton Upon Severn, danced at Wimborne festival.
Reading WaterFest lives up to it's name in fine style, water both precipitate and earthborne provided free of charge. Ahem. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version Christchurch Festival, July 2004. The girls dance Alternator in front of massed crowds at the morris showcase spot.
Portsmouth at the Fleur de Lys, East Hagbourne. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version The ladies ready to dance, The band dressing frantically in the background...
Afore-mentioned band, now fully dressed. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version The Horse and Harrow at West Hagborne, later the same evening. Two fully grown morris dancers playing on a seesaw. Ahem.
Left to right, background: Ian, Sandra, Hilary, Julia, Frances, Barbara, Kathy, Anne, Bob. Left to right, foreground: Reindeer, Mike. Click to see full size version
Click to see full size version Suitably festive Shambling at Wokingham Winter Carnival.
Actually, given that Wokingham Winter Carnival is neither held in the winter, nor, strictly speaking, a carnival, perhaps the festivity isn't all that suitable. Charlotte's first appearance in kit - wearing purple, hiding behind the band. Click to see full size version
