The Maltsters, 2026
A great dance out with Trigg Morris outside The Maltsters Arms in Chapel Amble. The rain held off but the wind was bitter so we were lucky to attract and keep a good crowd. We performed six dances, all ones unique to Boscastle Border Morris – well, Bear Down Man is not our dance but…

Despite it being on the South Coast and quite a drive from Boscastle, we were delighted to accept an invitation to dance at this lovely festival.

BBM AGM & CCCC Reports
We held our annual AGM which passed swiftly, with some discussions, the election (mostly actually re-election) of officers and deputies and some minor constitutional tweaks. As usual this all happened in a friendly manner with plenty of cake and no dissenting voices! One reason was that we all wanted to get on to the most…

St Stephens Primary School, Launceston
Unusual for us to dance a Thursday afteroon but we were very happy to go along to St Stephens primary school in Launceston to dance to their years 4 and 5 as part of them looking at folk music. We actually did two sessions back-to-back in their hall, one for each class. Each class was…
