Morris Ring
The Morris Ring was formed in 1934 and currently is an association of some 180 morris, sword and mummers clubs and teams keeping our wonderful traditions alive.
At our 2018 Annual Representatives Meeting there was overwhelming support for a proposal to enable any morris team, whatever its gender make up, to become a member of The Morris Ring if they support the founding principles of the organisation:
An object of the Morris Ring is to encourage the performance of the Morris, to maintain its traditions and to preserve its history; to bring into contact all the Morris Clubs or Teams. ”
These videos are part of the fulfillment of this objective. We hope you enjoy them.
Strenuous efforts have been made to identify copyright holders of films in the Morris Ring Archive. Copyright holders of any film not having permission to publish should contact the Bagman of the Morris Ring - [email protected] for a resolution of the matter.
