Darwen Morris Dancers at Nelson Carnival 1957 (possibly senior troupe)

Darwen Morris Dancers 50th Anniversary celebration was held on 13th October at the International Suite Ewood Park. Around 200 morris dancers & ex-morris dancer including some from the original senior troupe (pictured above) attended the celebrations, the highlight of the evening was watching the original group of dancers showing everyone that they have still got what it takes?
Darwen Morris Dancers should be proud of their achievements of 50 years and good luck for the next fifty, well done!

Pictured below are morris dancers and some of the original troupe members.

From the left are Jean Pattinson, Kelly, Lyndsey, Pat & Carol Lee, an early starter & Amber.
