George's Day at the Bull, Stanford Dingley.
A local artist had
been commissioned to produce a new pub sign, and here it
is, with Mike G, Ian, Linda and Chris posed beneath.

just come off from a dance.
Pam is just
explaining that "it was this long!". It's a
shame that we can't remember what "it" was.

April 2004 The
landlord had recovered from a recent music session when
he had forgotten to apply for his licence renewal - but
just in case he was resting on his laurels, he was
reminded now and then.
On St George's day
the licence was put to good use, and both audience and
OBJ had an excellent time.
The evening was
beautiful, with the moon and venus prominent in those
dark skies.

judging by the number of sticks flying around.

The Bell, Waltham St LawrenceDancing in the street
outside the 14th century pub, with the pound and the
church in the background. The pound was gifted to the
village as a place to put your horse whilst in the pub or
church. These days it's where you park your blue Maserati.

The Bell, Waltham St LawrenceYou come halfway across the
world and what happens? You're having a quiet pint and
you get roped into a morris dance.

worlds first Nepalese Morris Dancer.

that he came from one of the villages that Jill had
visited)

Stag&Hounds, BinfieldOne of the audience was
visiting Bracknell from USA. In a past life he had been a
morris dancer, so we encouraged him to "have a go".
