Oswestry Morris dancing group invites new members to join
Oswestry Dark Morris meets every Wednesday evening and is encouraging anyone interested in Morris dancing to come along
Oswestry Dark Morris is inviting new members to join its weekly sessions and discover the traditional dance for themselves.
Founder Mike Lade has a light-hearted way of encouraging people to get involved, joking that Morris dancing is a long-term condition which, once established, is likely to return.
He said: "At Oswestry Dark Morris we would like to assure anyone that they are quite normal and that it's a phase that many people go through – but it would be a lie!"
Mike also offered some humorous advice for anyone who encounters a Morris dancer, suggesting they should stay calm, speak in a sympathetic voice and avoid criticising their dress sense.
The group meets every Wednesday at 7pm at The Last Inn, Hengoed.
Anyone interested in finding out more can contact Mike on 07803 038858, message @OswestryDarkMorris on Facebook, email [email protected] or visit oswestrydarkmorris.co.uk.
