Whitethorn Morris Dance For Girlguiding at The Willow Tree Activity Centre
The Harrow and Pinner Division of the girl guides organised a huge May Day celebration on 1st May in their new Willow Tree Activity Centre in Breakspear Road North, Harefield.
Their Badger site at Willow Tree was alive to the sights and sounds of Brownies in the Division trying country dancing, maypole dancing, making hobby horses, garlands and dance sticks. Their activities included watching a display by our Whitethorn Morris Dancers. We had huge fun in the middle of their field getting all the girls on their feet to join in a HUGE morris dance! I played my piano accordian in our band and had a steady queue of guides wanting to try out my instrument.
It was quite a tiring event as we been up for hours so that we could dance to greet the May Day dawn at the Red Lion in Coleshill.
125 Brownies and their leaders enjoyed every aspect of their May Day Revels including the visit from the Mayor and Mayoress of Harrow and the County Commissioner.
