In order to get the maximum amount of fun from dancing out, we do, on many occasions, have to lug about various bits of essential equipment, particularly the sticks for stick dances.

Click on the thumbnails below to see bigger pictures of our current bits 'n' pieces.

The Stick Box.

We don't trust members of the side to turn up with their own sticks so we have devised this natty contraption on wheels to transport all the side's sticks. Long sticks in the top, short sticks round the back as well as a useful handle to pull it along.

 

The Dance Board.

This ingenious device is for organising the dance sets. The dances are written on plastic plant labels that slide in and out of the slots in the board. The top contains two dance sets while the bottom holds dances we might do. Dance sets can be rearranged instantly. The envy of many other sides. How clever I hear you say!

 

The Lollipop Man.

Named after an Adderbury dance which, when we do it, starts with a rather rude song. He helps us with collecting for the cause. He has a rather large pair of trousers and the audience can enjoy stuffing money down the front of them.

 

Champion 'The Wonder Horse'.

Used to cause mayhem and disruption among the dancers. Lots of sides have animals, this is ours. We did have an old horse called 'Dobbin' but alas he passed away and his ashes are now kept in a biscuit tin.

We also have a Dragon but we don't seem to see much of him. Shy creatures dragons!

 

The Anagram Board.

This only comes out on special occasions like ales and weekends of dance. The board has hooks on it and the yellow tiles hang on the hooks. At first the tiles would be arranged to spell 'Golden Star' but then the idea is to see what you can make up. You don't have to use all the tiles. Hours of amusement!
