Fun of the Fayre!
Maypole & Morris
Scarecrows!

The Collingham John Blow village junior school put their best feet forward to entertain us with some lovely Maypole Dancing. This was followed by the Lincoln Hospitals' Band, who produced some stirring music. Then it was the turn of the visiting Morris dancers who put on a first class display of dancing.

Something must be happening behind this crowd. If only I can get through to see, or perhaps someone will offer a shoulder. Don't worry, we'll take you!

That was real fun wasn't it? Very clever, the way they wind and unwind those coloured tapes by dancing around each other. They must have put in a lot of practice. And very energetic too!

They seem a very skilful team. The timing and movement is very graceful - and fun.

Yah-hoo! Its fun for everyone. The dancers are obviously enjoying it. And the crowd are too.
