Introduction
Rag Morris has acquired its own inimitable style over the last twenty five years - energetic, colourful, comic, a bit 'off-the-wall', certainly never boring and very rarely normal. We wear brilliantly coloured rag shirts and bells. Our repertoire comes from the dances of the Cotswold Hills and the wild Welsh Borders, and we dance with sticks, hankies, bare hands and plastic chickens, to the accompaniment of melodeons, accordions, whistles, drums and strohviols.
We like to travel [all offers of somewhere to sleep and free travel gratefully accepted!]. In Summer 1994 we went to the Rudolstadt Festival, back [again] to Leipzig, Germany, and on to Prague in the Czech Republic. In 1997, 2000 and 2006 we went to Belgium and visited Volkskunstgroep Boerke Naas, while 2007 featured a tour de France.

While we try and figure out why our embedded Google Calendars don't work on the Home page [we blame Google...], we have reinstated our separate Rag Times page. Rag Times includes the full embedded calendar. But, if you have problems with this, below you will find links to the individual calendars.
