Southern Star Longsword
Aug. 14th, 2016 10:06 am One of the things I've wanted to do for the last few years is to start a longsword dance group.
A couple of weeks ago, I realised that if I didn't do it soon, I'd get too old to be able to do it at all.
So, I've taken the plunge. Southern Star Longsword will meet at our local library on Monday evenings.
I'd write more, but I'm knee deep in sorting out insurance, publicity, bank account, etc.
Even if the team doesn't get enough members to be viable, all these things still need to be done.
And, I also know from experience (getting Anonymous Morris started) that if you have the faith to do all these things and publicise and dance at every possible opportunity, then the odds are greatly increased that you will get your team off the ground.
I'm also on the committee for next year's Wimborne Minster Folk Festival, so getting seriously busy with that as well.
