WINKLEIGH Morris was started in 1990 by the landlady of the former Winkleigh Hotel.

Since then the mixed Morris team has performed Cotswold and Border style dances not only in its local area but at festivals and events across the U.K, in the Channel Islands, France, Holland and Germany.

The side is now extending an invitation to anyone who would like to join.

Colin Andrews, Foreman, Winkleigh Morris, said: “Originally almost all the dancers lived in Winkleigh but, sadly, no current member is a resident of our ‘home’ village, though we do have some members in nearby Hollocombe, Bondleigh and Monkokehampton.

“We would dearly love to have some Winkleigh people, and others from the local community, once more being part of our team.

“We are a very friendly and sociable group.

“We meet from October to April on Tuesday evenings at Winkleigh Community Centre from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

“All are welcome – no previous experience is necessary. We are also willing to run workshops for schools, youth groups, WI’s, U3A, etc.”
