Trip to Canada - Sept 1999
Niagara Falls and The Toronto Ale

In Sept 1999, a contingent from St Albans Morris Men went to Canada to the Toronto Ale. But first we paid a visit to Niagara Falls with the help and companionship of members of Cold Barn Morris of Hamilton, Ontario.

Visit to Niagara Falls

Sword (Kirby Malzeard) in The Butterfly Gardens, Niagara Falls.

At the Floral Clock - dancing to a captive audience of electricity pylons.

Obligatory "team photo", with Niagara Falls and its rainbow in the background.

The Toronto Ale

With so many teams at the Ale it's difficult to do it justice photographically. So here are just a few cameos from an excellent weekend of dancing and generally making merry! (Shame I have none of our hosts, Green Fiddle Morris.)

St Albans MM with members of Belles of York, Half Crown Clog, and Toronto Women's Sword.

The lovely and extremely talented Toronto Women's Sword, dancing "Papa Stour".

Toronto F Morris Men.

And finally, in the privacy of The Tranzac Club, seasoned morris dancers learn the Polish Bear Dance from Jim Riosa of Cold Barn...
