- Rochdale Morris in Rochdale, near Manchester in England, are hoping to host an American Morris team for their 25th Anniversary Rushbearing Festival on the 29th and 30th of July 2006. Limited accomodation (approx 20 - 25 people) will be provided, along with driven mini-bus for the week if anyone wishes to visit places of interest in the North West of England...also pick ups to and from the airport.
Rochdale Morris visited the Quakes and Ale Morris team in San Francisco 1991 and would love to show an American team the same hospitality...everything will be provided except flights.
