2010 Trigg Ring Meeting
Due to the immense response we had to our invitation to attend the 2010 Trigg Ring Meeting (we asked for 100 and received 163), we have increased the numbers attending to 123 but unfortunately due to logistics we have had to turn several teams down as well. Those attending will be:-

We hope to put on four tours, taking in a bit of sea, bit of town and a bit of country. Our Squire is hoping to negotiate with the Eden Project so that we could finish up there.  It could be;  Eden decide to charge us normal entry in which case we would decline. Watch this space!

If anyone is down this way prior to the Ring Meeting, feel free to join us at one of our Thursday venues.  See 'Future Gigs' page

3rd - 5th September Trigg Ring Meeting  Due to a shortage of meetings for Trigg foolishly and belatedly offered to stage another one after a lapse of some 14 years. This will give us an excuse to celebrate our 40 years of existence. After making the decision, we had to overcome a further setback when shunned by our original choice of venue; but we are pleased to say that is all behind us. The date was not chosen to give us extra organisational time, but to give you an easier time getting here, in the past when we have had earlier meetings there have usually been problems for some of you actually getting here on the Friday evening. We will be using Poltair School in St Austell where we can accommodate a 100 or so men, where the main accommodation will be in the Sports Hall, and we are currently negotiating the possibility of providing space for some of the hardier souls who might want to camp, and those needing the comfort of their camper vans! We will be using a common format and Saturday tours will be arranged so that everyone will get to dance somewhere in a town, and in the countryside as well as at the coast as you must have some sea air if coming to Cornwall. Ale connoisseurs will know that in the County we have at least 3 very popular breweries and your tours should give you occasion to sample their wares. Sunday will be reserved for the customary visit to church and a show for the public before you lunch and take the (long) journey home. If you had not already guessed, the cost of your weekend with us will cost you between £65 and £70. We know it may be a long way, (it is the same for us every time), but if any side wants to extend their stay for an extended Morris Tour, or just for any other relaxation I am sure we could help you find accommodation or let you know where you should go! (There might even be those who want to bring families or partners for the weekend on the Riviera whilst they get on with the serious business of the Morris, we might also give them a few pointers too!)
