Little did the Council appreciate that less than 2 months later a public health emergency would impact not just West Haddon but, indeed, the country and world and, as a result, face to face meetings were postponed in favour of online meetings. We are now conversant with online meetings and able to continue business from the comfort of our own homes which should, hopefully, allow for increased engagement from our community members. As we now find ourselves fast approaching the winter and potentially the impact of more frequent extremes of weather, as well as continuing to battle the invisible enemy known so well to us all now as Covid 19, it is more evident than ever that the Council and West Haddon must ensure it is as resilient as it can be for future situations.

  • The Story of the Brackley Morris Men a Traditional Northamptonshire Morris Side
    The Story of the Brackley Morris Men A Traditional Northamptonshire Morris Side 10. The August Summer Tour - ‘A good pair of boots’ Pre 1914 According to Fred Hamer, writing in 1955, the Brackley side changed its annual outing (at some date in the late 1800s, unspecified) from Whitsuntide to the August bank holiday week. (15) The photo here was taken on August bank holiday, Monday 4th Aug 1913. Keith Chandler, in his 1985 lecture quoted an article in the Banbury Guardian from 1950 contributed by Mr H Watkinson stating that: ‘Until the outbreak of the first world war, the annual procedure of the troupe was to commence a tour of Brackley, Buckingham, Banbury, Towcester and all the intervening villages, on August bank holiday, and continue throughout the week. It was undoubtedly an enjoyable and profitable holiday and a pleasant spectacle for the people of the countryside. Their only transport a good pair of boots and a delight in walking…’ (5). The revival of the tours Tour locations With the establishment of the modern side in 1971, the tradition of summer 1972 Water Stratford tours was revived. This involved finding a field for camping, not too far from 1973 Great Horwood 1974 Castlethorpe a pub. Prior to the tour, posters were printed in black and white, and col- 1975 Whittlebury oured in by hand. The routine was soon established of arriving on Friday 1976 Stoneleigh evening to set up camp, including stores tent and toilet tent, followed by a 1977 Priors Marston camp meal and then a session in the local pub.
