Thriplow Daffodil Weekend 2002

Each year for one weekend around early April the village of Thriplow throws open itself and its gardens to visitors. This is known as Daffodil weekend, and usually the daffodils make it! DDMM have been one of the 'entertainments' on the Sunday since the early 1980s, and it has always been an important curtain-raiser to the main season.
The event was cancelled in 2001 due to the foot & mouth epidemic. However, it was back in 2002, and the weather was very fine, particularly so for late March (23-24th). DD performed on the 24th. We managed our usual four dance spots, two outside the Green Man, one near the church, and the other near the village hall.

Outside the Green Man

Which is DD's better side?

More violence to please the audience

Near the Church

Bagman does the first jig of the season

Outside the Village Hall

Spot the stick competition
