2005 - 2006 Season

Below is a selection of photographs from our 2005 - 2006 Scrapbook, hopefully giving a few examples of what we get up to. Most of the photos were taken by team members or friends for which we thank them for allowing t be used on tis website - not that we've asked them!

2005 -2006 Season was, for us anyway, a busy year hence the number of photographs. Don't forget - this IS just a selection!.
Annual Dinner - November 2005
Our Annual Dinner is usually the first social event that a new elected Squire recieves the "Staff of Office" from the retiring Squire. It includes a formal meal followed by various club traditions and a "come all ye" of informal singing and dancing or whatever!
Incoming Squire Stuart Cummins look apprehensive and John Crabb looks even happier when the moment arrives.
Outgoing Squire John Crabb looking happy as the moment approaches.
Border Day - December 2005 Border Day (apart from lunchtime New Years Day) is the only time we dance border morris, a style from the Welsh borders. We dance around Taunton centre and collect for a local charity.
Mysterious Musicians - the music was weird as well! The annual Border Day group photo at Eastgate Gardens
