MORRIS dancers greeted 2011 in traditional style, followed by an even more traditional New Year’s tipple.
More than 20 members of the Wantage-based Icknield Way Morris Dancers and the Abingdon Morris group, performed at The Cherry Tree pub in Steventon.
Abingdon’s ‘bagman’ Tony Legge, 67, said: “It was a great meet-up of men at various stages of age and decomposition enjoying themselves.
“And in the pub next door, there were lots of men with classic cars, so it was really a collection of older men who should know better.”
The dancers, varying in age from their 20s to their 60s, perform at the pub at the same time every year.
Dozens of people turned out to watch the festivities, which were followed by an afternoon of beer.
Mr Legge said: “We had a great time; we do every year, and it’s fantastic that the Icknield Way Morris Dancers keep inviting us back.”
