Weymouth Folk Festival
7-8 May 2005
This year
we chose to dance at Weymouth Folk Festival, in our apparent
quest to go to every Folk Festival beginning with the letter
"W".
The sun
shone, the wind blew a bit and we all had a very good time.
OBJ members
in attendance were Anne, Colin, Chris, Doug, Ian, Jenny, Jill,
Linda, Mike G, Mike S, Nikki, Pam, Susie, Tiff and Vera, with a
bit of assistance from Dave, of Wicket Brood.

band for the weekend: Doug, Pam, Anne, Vera, Mike S and
Ian. Members
of Frome Valley Morris look on.

I
had to include a picture of us dancing by the sea. This
time it's The Worecster Monkey. The light balance in this
picture wasn't quite right, and all my attempts to
improve it just seemed to make it worse!
WB's Dave is
helping out in this dance.

These
girls were desperate to join in, so we kicked off a
Horses Brawl. They liked it so much that they
joined in a couple more dances before we decalared we
were too cream-crackered to continue!

A
picture kindly supplied by Frome Valley Morris. Another
one for the modes-of-transport collection I'm quite fond of the sound
of steel wheel on rail, and I was was only too eager when
Vicky dared me to go on the snail ride.
The chap running
it seemed to be bereft of customers all day, and made us
endure a couple of extra circuits of the high-speed track.
Safety note:
Please don't try this yourself at home. These are
specially trained racing snails.
