30th August, 1st & 2nd September The Hartley Morris Men are a member of the Morris Ring, which is an association of over two hundred Morris dance sides. Their mission is to encourage the performance of Morris dancing, to maintain its traditions and to preserve its history. Every year several Meetings are held, hosted by local clubs, and dancers from all over the country are invited to attend. | |||||
| ______________________________________________________________________________ What better way to spend the first weekend of September than in the glorious county of Kent. The Hartley Morris Men have invited Morris Ring sides to join them in celebrating their 60th anniversary and seeing out the incumbent Squire of the Morris Ring and welcoming in the new. We are an ‘all male’ side but extend a welcome to every member of the Morris Ring to join us in our ‘adopted’ village of Wrotham for this special occasion. Indoor and outdoor camping plus full facilities for up to 250 will be provided at a local school, together with wholesome meals provided by a professional caterer. Local ales, dispensed from hop strewn barrels, will be available at the accommodation site for no additional charge although informal music, dance and song at local hostelries will be encouraged on Friday and Saturday evenings. On Saturday our guests will be taken to attractive locations including National Trust properties, a steam railway, historic towns and of course village pubs. The tours will be tailored to suit all traditions bringing the diversity of the Morris to the community Sunday morning we intend to arrange some interesting workshops followed by the massed display which will be held in the grounds of nearby Tonbridge Castle. There will not be a formal Church Service but participants may join the congregation at one of the local churches. We currently estimate the cost of the weekend to be in the region of £65 with discounts for those unable to join us for the full weekend. Applications from either complete sides or individuals are welcomed as we are very happy to make up suitable composite sides if required.
