The day was a wet Saturday in August typical for summer fayres. The intrepid Men of Wight and their good Friends the Oyster Girls carried on regardless. Outside the bar with the beer festival in was a lovely canopy which we could dance under. We danced from 11am until 1pm with the lovely smell of burning coal from all the engines on site The public stopped and enjoyed our performances. Sydney the seahorse also put in an appearance. 

The pandemic of the last year could not have come at a worse time for The Men of Wight Morris. The year 2020, was the 50th anniversary of our foundation and the team had big plans for a celebration in June. Much of the year had been spent on the planning of the 2020 programme of events, including our normal “summer” programme which normally comprises about 30 dates.
