Squire's  Notes


Welcome to another Morris Meditations online. There's been a hiatus whilst the new team takes the reins, but here we are - finally. Kim Brown has remained as editor - who better - and with the gentle application of the whip and chair we may be able to keep things ticking along nicely. As usual Kim has done a good job with the sparse materials provided, but just imagine what he could do with some meaty stuff, or even the usual innuendo and gossip which Morris generates at every turn.  Just remember, though – write nothing and you’ll read nothing!

Whilst on the subject of quiescence and gossip, the chat list has been very quiet recently, still Spring is coming and you can come out of hibernation now. Why not spend a couple of minutes getting on to our discussion list now that you are here, write something, anything ... please!

 And of course being spring it’s that time to dig deep into pockets again and fork out for the annual subscription. This year there will also be a one off levy, which was approved at the AGM, before anyone gets knotted – knickers that is.

Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself

So who am I?. Well a lot of you know me (and I'll get you yet!). I’ve been described as arrogant, abusive, aggressive, abrasive and an ar*ehole (and that's just the 'A's), all of which may well be true. (What am I saying, all of which IS true). But, for good or bad, you got me. So I want you to come to me with any problems you may have, my INBOX will always be open. I will, of course, almost certainly ignore any problems you come to me with, but them's the breaks. I've been, for my sins, a Morris Man since '86, served my apprenticeship with  the Hatters in Hobart and have been with Adelaide MM for the last 8 years. Did a bit of dancing in the UK, mostly as a guest of Kempsmen in Norwich and Brackley, can play if I have to, but with the luxury of 3 dedicated musicians in AMM don't often have to. My wife Julie has danced with the Hatters and Glorishears, and is less than pleased about my elevation to the highest Morris office in the land (yes we will get to pretentious when I list all the 'P's)

Finally, I'd like to thank Don Barnes for his staunch work as Squire for the past couple (or is it three?) years. A time of change and development.

Don't forget, membership is due now.
