Open Morris Workshops
Although we have no Workshop Organiser this year it does not mean that Open Morris is not interested in supporting workshops we have just decided to approach the job differently. If you or your side would like to run a workshop Open Morris would be happy to help. We can help find teachers, musicians, give advise on venues and budgets and advertise the event. With prior consent OM can also underwrite workshops to an agreed limit to save sides and individuals carrying any losses should an event have to be cancelled. If you would be interested in hosting a workshop please contact our secretary, Kate Waller or your Area Rep.
