2025

• Monday 1st January: New Year’s Day dancing.  As it was raining heavily we did just one stand under the cover of County Hall at 1.30.  Thanks to those hardy people that turned out to watch us!  Dried out with a few tunes in the Punch Bowl afterwards.
• Saturday 12th April: Our Duncan Bhaskaran Brown made a successful attempt on a Guiness World Record for morris dancing, by stepping continuously for 11 hours and 2 minutes on the  Market Place, from 5am to a little after 4pm.  The well-organised event was supported by a team of helpers and adjudicators, and the full team did a couple of dances afterwards.  Duncan joined in one of them!
• Sunday 13th April: Oxford Folk Festival: 1030 Broad Street with Downes On Tour; 1130 Bonn Square with Reading Cloggies; 1430 Oxford Castle with Owlswick; 1530 Bonn Square with Reading Cloggies.  Between 12 and 2pm our musicians and friends ran a tunes session in the Royal Blenheim.
• Good Friday 18th April: LoveBeer Brewery, Milton.  Two dancing spots and free beer as usual.  Very enjoyable.
• Easter Saturday 19th April: Abingdon Easter Eggstravaganza, 12pm and 2pm, Market Place. A well-attended event, great crowds
• Wednesday 23rd April: St George’s Day Tour, Abingdon.  7.15 Broad Face, 7.45 Punch Bowl, with a small but enthusiastic crowd.  It turned out that this was not actually St George’s Day this year, due to the normal date being too close to Easter, but that didn’t stop it from being an enjoyable evening.
• Saturday 10th May: Big Marcham Weekend, 2pm and 3pm dancing spots.  Then on to VE Day celebrations at Abingdon British Legion for 4pm dancing.
• Monday 12th May: Town Mayor Making, St Helens Church, 6.45pm.  Danced for the new mayor before the ceremony.
• Bank Holiday Monday 26th May:  Harwell Feast, 11am parade, then two dance spots.
