The Wig & Pen - Norwich

Always a good sign when the landlord greets you at the door and hands out beer vouchers!  Well done Craig - you obviously know how to get Morris Men dancing more vigourously.

The Wig & Pen is our "home pub" and is always a good dancing spot with outside seats for the audience and a good surface for the dancers.  On this occasion I'm pleased to say there were plenty of both although some of the dancers were a bit lacking in the health and fitness department.  Steve appeared on crutches still nursing the injury sustained at the King's Arms, Gary arrived in a somewhat bruised and confused state having had (yet) another bike-related altercation with a motor vehicle  (a feat that is becoming so familiar that some have said he is an attention seeking adolescent) and the Loose Canon turned up minus the dog-collar and managed a splendid 30 seconds of dancing before running out of puff.  You will be pleased to note that all three managed to drink beer!

This evening's event was part of the "Norwich - City of Ale" festivities and Craig's contribution was to stock more than 20 dark / mild / stout style beers from local brewers - our sponsor, Mark Riches from Beeston Brewery, was well represented with the excellent "Norfolk Black".

Kudos to the musicians for playing louder and louder as what appeared to be the entire Norfolk Chapter of the Hell's Scooter Brigade decided to do a full-throttle ride past; kudos to the dancers for keeping going even when they couldn't hear the music and kudos to our latest brilliant "rose" (see the video in the comments section).
