Sunday, February 18, 2024 - The Westerly Morris Men had their first in-person Annual Meeting since 2019! Peter Leibert was reelected to continue as Squire. Ian Patton was elected as our new Bagman, replacing Everett Munro, who has been our dutiful Bagman for longer than anyone can remember. Thanks, Everett!
The "opportunity to see us part" happened at The Haversham Tavern, where we held our annual dinner. If you were there between 6 and 8 PM, you might have seen us do a couple dances or heard us sing a few songs, including our own "The Church's One Foundation, a.k.a., The Dogs Were Having a Party", which you can access on our singing page.
Tuesday, March 19, 2024 - The Westerly Morris Men celebrated their 38th Annual Vernal Equinox Dawn Dance on Lantern Hill in North Stonington, CT (6:51 AM). Starting n 2020, during leap years only, the Vernal Equinox occurs on March 19 in our time zone, rather than March 20. On the clifftop, the WMM had 2 musicians (Mayada Wadsworth and A.J. Wright) and 8 dancers. They were joined by 1 dancer each from 2 other teams, Mystic Garland and the Bouwerie Boys (on ). Over 70 other people climbed the hill to participate in the festivities, including photographers from 3 newspapers. See our press and video pages for more. At the conclusion of the hike, there were songs and additional dancing at the trailhead, accompanied by current Squire and musician Peter Leibert, who founded the team 50 years ago, in 1974.
