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…

Boscastle Harbour with Black Swan
A Sunday lunchtime out with Black Swan Border Morris was arranged for the day after the Tintagel Dark Gathering and we’re so glad it was. Dancing with Black Swan was a real pleasure, especially outside the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (our sponsor) and with such a large audience. It was a cold day but…

Apple Day at NT Pentireglaze

RDA, 2025
Despite heavy skies, the rain held off for our dance out at Lakefield Equestrian Centre for the RDA. While the musicians sheltered from the wind under a small canopy, the side entertained the crowd with both traditional and our own-tradition dances. A few brave souls even joined us for a Tinner’s Rabbit at the end,…

The Cornish Arms, 2025
What a wonderful evening at The Cornish Arms. A great space had been left for us and there were so many people sitting outside that we had, for us, an huge audience. What’s more, the audience were very enthusiastic and leapt to join in with our final Tinner’s Rabbit. After the dancing we were treated…

The Wellington, 2025
What a beautiful setting for a summer dance outside The Wellington Hotel! Back on home territory, we put on a cracking performance of our dance repertoire, and the audience were clearly animated and showed their appreciation by joining us for a mammoth Tinner’s Rabbit and also fed ‘Billy the Squid’ with generous donations. One spectator…
