After many years we are sorry to be losing our musicians, Janette & Brian Stewart as they are retiring and moving away.
We’d be interested in anybody who’d like to come and play with us with any unplugged instrument (grand piano possibly excepted). If you can help then please contact us at bagman@northwoodmorris.co.uk or call 07711 372 496

We are indebted to our supporter Anne Whitehouse for capturing this shot. A runner bearing what appeared to be a club or similar, leapt out from the race, clashed sticks a couple of times with Mick O’leary (left) then rejoined the throng.
