50th Anniversary Celebrations
First Fifty years of Kennet Morris Men - the story in pictures
2007 was our 50th Anniversary year. We celebrated it in May with a cruise along the Kennet and Avon Canal from Bath to Reading, dancing at 50 pubs along the way, and in September with a Weekend of Dance.
We completed our Canal Tour - travelling in two narrow boats from Bath on 12th May to Reading on 19th May, dancing at 50 pubs en route. We would like to record our thanks to:
- The Mayors of Bath and Reading, for attending our departure from Bath and arrival in Reading
- The landlords, landladies and managers of the 50 hostelries where we danced
- Wadworth's Brewery in Devizes for providing us with a tour of the brewery
- Bathampton Morris Men, Icknield Way Morris Men, Yateley Morris Men and Kintbury Morris, for coming out to dance with us on our tour
- The members of the Kennet Morris Men who devoted much of their time to planning and arranging the tour
