2024. Thanks to all our new members we are now positively blooming. Invite from Pecsaetan Morris gave us a Terpsichorean Tuesday for a change from Morris Monday. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2023. The wettest Buxton Day of Dance on record (just ask Leek Morris!) but, despite this, every side got to dance and have asked to come back. First female squire, Birdie, voted in at our AGM in September. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2022. Worried this might be our last year due to falling numbers. The most fabulously sunny Buxton Day of Dance and then new members joining in September's 'Give Morris a Go'. Result. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
#OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest released on 19 Nov 1975. 'It's the truth even if it didn't happen' - but it did happen for us in 1975. #CM50
2020. Everything became virtual -practice nights, Morris Mondays and we even ran a virtual Buxton Day of Dance with contributions from some wonderful sides who had become friends over the years. A lot of Zoomy fun. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2019. Trip on the train to Southport Sword's day in Liverpool and worldwide coverage from Lindsey Parnaby's May Day photos on Eccle's Pike. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3

2018. Easter Tour cancelled for first time ever due to heavy snow. Filmed as part of 'History of Castleton Garland film. Stall and dance displays at 'Chapel Past & Present' exhibition. Great turnout at 'Give Morris a Go' at New Mills but still no joiners. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2017. Some teaching sessions for Hayfield cubs and Fairfield Junior School. In the mood we ran 'Give Morris a Go' sessions in October. I person in Buxton and 4 in Chapel. Nobody joined the side. Nil Desperandum! #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2016. Powderkegs 15th anniversary celebrations in Castleton followed Harthill's 40th birthday celebrations in Sheffield. Then a surprise 'cabaret spot' at Tom and Lisa's wedding in October. A very proud Phil Jupp! #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2015. We made it to 40! An amazing year. Danced with Toronto MM outside Buxton, on the Ferry at Mersey Ring Meeting and in Cotswold Morris villages with Ripley MM. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2014. Our second visit to Dartington (last there in 1989) including wonderful river trip. Presented Jim with bottle of whsiky for his 85th birthday. Joined Ashdown Forest on tour at The Red Lion, Litton - some impressive singing and playing during the evening. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
2013. We went to Leek Morris Day of Dance in May but dancing was abandoned because of torrential rain. Perhaps a premonition of Leek Morris at a watery Buxton DoD 10 years later in 2023. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
