May Day 1999

St Albans Morris Men always dance at 6.00 a.m. on May Day in the City centre.

May 1^st 1999 fell on a Saturday - which enabled us also to entertain shoppers with a midday tour in Harpenden. Our companions were Bedfordshire Lace, Hoddesdon Crownsmen and Woodside Morris Men.

Harry the Hart delays the start of yet another dance!

Bedfordshire Lace give it 'a bit of welly'.
