Mid Hants Railway: "Morris Day"

For those of you new to the odd ways of the English, they say it all goes back to fertility rites and magic in the countryside.
Much beer is involved in the later stages of the rituals; some consider this a reason for its continued celebration

Come along to the railway and see a magnificent mix of old Morris cars and Morris dancers. The cars will be on display at both Alresford station forecourt and on the picnic area at Ropley, whilst the dancers will be travelling the line and bringing their happy sounds and bright colours to all the stations More Photo (July 2000): Diana Snow
