About the Isle of Wight

Isle of Wight tourism
In case anyone wants to come over and visit us... (You can get to the island this way, or that.) You can also find out all sorts of serious things about the Isle of Wight on the official Isle of Wight Council website

The Bargeman's Rest is where we practice every winter. It puts up with a lot, including many thumping feet pounding on the ceiling. (No, we don't dance on the ceiling. We dance upstairs.)

Ventnor beer is what we drink.

About songs, dances and things

The Digital Tradition / Mudcat Cafe
You can get the words of pretty much any folk song from here. It still doesn't stop us from arguing over the right words, though

Open Morris
Mr Baker's Dozen is a member of Open Morris, a fairly miscellaneous group of Morris dance sides across the country
