[edit] Moreton Bay Morris

Moreton Bay Morris was a group of [Morris Dancers] formed circa 1979 and lasting in various guises untill circa 2003.

Originally a team of mixed dancers (both men and women in the same set) increased numbers saw the adoption of two seperate teams; a Mens [Cotswald] Side and a Womens [North West] Side. Both teams practiced on the same night in seperate halls or rooms at the same venue but always performed footups (performances) together. In the twilight years Moreton Bay Morris became a mixed side dancing [Border] Dances

The organised positions in the group comprised a Squire (elected from either the Mens or Ladies teams), Foreman (one each from the seperate sides), Bagman (the bookings officer and finances holder) and the Scribe (Archives keeper) Andrew Ivamy. Moreton Bay Morris also had a Fool chosen from amongst the mens team and danced as either a Bettie or Tommy of their own choosing.

At various times especially for the Medievil Fayre Moreton Bay Morris would also dance the May Pole.

Every May Day (May the first each year) Morris dancers from South East Queensland gather at the lookout kiosk on Mt Coot-tha to dance the sun up carrying on the traditions originating in English Morris dancing of warding off evil spirits and hoping for a bountiful crop. After dancing for two or so hours, the Morris Dancers venture to the J. C. Slaughter Falls for a bar-b-que breakfast. The location was originally chosen by Moreton Bay Morris and has been adopted by other teams such as Ladie's Pleasure, Rapscallion, Logan Morris, the Sunshine Coasts Wild Mountain Morris and Toowomba's Belswagger Morris.

[edit] Traditions observed

Despite dancing a number of traditions over the years, Moreton Bay Morris has a number of Party Favourites from a range of traditions including Ring 'o Bells, Vandals of Hammerwich, The Upton Stick Dance, Queens Delight and Jocky to the Fair.

[edit] Formation of new sides

Members of Moreton Bay Morris came from other sides including Canberra Morris Men and Bonney Green Garters both Canberra sides dancing Cotswold dances with Bonney Green Garters being an all Female side.

After joing Moreton Bay Morris some of the former BGG women formed Ladie's Pleasure while Rapscallion was formed as a companion mens side comprising (usually) the partners of the Ladies Pleasure women. both Ladie's Pleasure and Rapscallion enjoyed many successful years performing in their own right.

On the Sunshine Coast, former members of Moreton Bay Morris formed Wild Mountain Morris predomantly an all female side dancing North West dances.

For approx 9 months circa 1992 an informal group calling itself Antipodian Morris met mainly for social interaction and dance step practice.

In Toowoomba, former members of Morton Bay Morris formed Belswagger Morris which copied Moreton Bay Morris' template of a Mens Cotsold and a Womens North West sides.

A breakaway side formed in the last year of Ladies Pleasure's life called Logan Morris wearing a near identical kit and as with Ladies Pleasure (and Bonney Green Garters' before it) dances the Cotswold tradition.

Some four years after Bellswagger Morris folded a second group formed calling itself Bellswagger Morris. This group dances what the dance Authority Chris Greenhill referd to as Stomp Morris due to their curious habbit of stomping their feet rather than with a spring in their step. They dance predominantly Border Morris and Moreton Bay Morris' party favourites.

[edit] Other information

Moreton Bay Morris and the Queensland Folk Federation banded together to hold a Medievil Fayre.

[edit] Maree Sole

Hi. I'm afraid I had to speedy delete the article, because it showed no evidence of her being notable. However, I'd be happy to recreate it in your userspace (from where it can be moved back into the encyclopedia, when ready) if you assure me she passes our notability criteria. Specifically, is she the subject of multiple, non trivial references in what we define as reliable sources? If so, let me know (here or at my talk page. --Dweller (talk) 14:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I would like to continue working on the person page for Maree Sole, I had not realised anyone would be reading the first draft quite so quickly, I had posted on the discussion page (as in the instructions) that I was still working on it.

If you could restore the last save of the page (not the first) I would appreciate it. Timelord2067 (talk) 21:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for not spotting this. Done. See User:Timelord2067/Maree Sole. I've asked User:The Rambling Man to keep an eye on it for me, as I'm on wikibreak. --Dweller (talk) 10:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
