Olympic Gold Medal winners!
Left to Right: Tim, Jeff and Andy - 21.04.12
Here you can find out where we are each week, what we've been up to or what we are about to get up to!
On Saturday 21st April 2012 we took part in the Morris Olympics, hosted by King John Morris Men at The Brushmakers Arms, Upham, near Southampton. We came away top of the medals table with 3 Gold medals for 'Throwing the Handkerchief' (Jeff), 'Calypso-style Jig' (Tim) and 'Horseshoe Throwing' (Andy), and Paul got a Bronze medal for his 'Calypso-style Jig' as well. Unfortunately Mike and Dan didn't finish in the medal positions with their Cribbage' competition!

Our programme is available here or follow the link on our 'Links' page, accessed via the 'More' tab in the menu bar.

On Wednesday 30th May 2012 we are dancing at The Royal Oak, Meavy at 8pm.
Foreign Trips
Plymouth Morris Men have had a great couple of summer seasons recently, including Holland in 2005, a trip to Hungary and Serbia in July 2006 and Jersey in May 2007. In August 2009 we went to south-western France for the 50th Annual International Folklore Festival at Montrejeau. Where next, I wonder?
Charity
Each year we make a donation to a charity and have raised over £5,000 over the last 9 years. On Sunday 21st March 2010 members of Plymouth Morris Men danced their way around the Plymouth Mile course for Sport Relief. We raised over £900! Thank you for your support!
Our nominated charity for 2011 was St. Luke's Hospice, and we have just donated £700 to them, from our collections last year.
Our nominated charity for 2012 is Plymouth Heartbeat.
More details of our charitable giving can be found on our 'Charitable Donations' page.
Practice Season
We practise every Wednesday evening from October until the end of April at Plymouth Citybus Social Club from 8pm till 10pm. We would be pleased to see any prospective new members, of any age. No previous experience required. Drop in and see us!
