1980's

This is most definitely an historic photograph. This is the first Turnberrie Castle "Team Photo".

It was taken on 18 July 1987 in Worcester.

The 16 July 1987 at the Holford Arms Folk Festival and the first time that Turnberrie Castle danced on stage !

A really good 'action shot' of the "Scarlet and the Blue" .... with the sun co-operating for once and giving good shadows too !

1990's

A slightly later team photograph - this time from the 1991 Mayflower Morris Festival; complete with smart musicians uniform !

Note that we had now acquired the drum with our badge on ... this is still going strong (!) and can be seen in the later photographs.

22 June 1991 - the Mayflower Festival - and another 'action shot' from the Turnberrie Castle photographer.

The following week (29 June) and the whole group were at the Nailsea Day of Dance.

Here you can see not just the "Turnberrie Castle" side proper - but also the "Turnberrie Turrets" our then separate junior side.

[We no longer run a separate junior side, all ages dance together as “Turnberrie Castle”].

The following year and the (slightly larger !) Turrets are shown in their own "action shot". I think that this might have been taken at the Chippenham Festival that year, but the annotation in the scrap book doesn't make this clear.

18 September 1993 shows Turnberrie Castle performing "Lancashire" with the atmospheric backdrop of Bristol's old St Nicholas Market, for it's 250^th anniversary.

This was part of the Pigsty Day of Dance.

A photograph taken "through the band" of Turnberrie Castle dancing "The Wain" outside of the Great Western Railway Museum in Swindon.

,,,, and inside the Museum itself dancing the Morris Farewell - "Bonny Green Garters" around the last steam engine built for British Rail in Swindon, the 92220 2-10-0 9F 'Evening Star'.

The last word from the archives (for now - you have been warned <grin>), must go to the "Turrets" shown here dancing in Thornbury's St Mary's Centre in December 1993.
