Today we remembered Robin Ainley and celebrated his life, which included 60 years dancing with Headington Quarry.

His son Rupert gave a wonderful eulogy at a service with plenty of Vaughan Williams' music, and danced Jockie to the Fair

Congratulations to Jack Worth who on Monday was unanimously elected the Squire of Headington Quarry Morris Dancers.
Here he is, having been presented with the Squire's ceremonial staff and badge (gong? medallion?) by outgoing Squire Dave Townsend.

Ever fancied Handbell Ringing over Christmas? Now's your chance!

We require handbell ringers to perform on Boxing Day in the Quarry as part of the Headington Quarry Morris Dance Performance.

It's fairly easy (no need to read music), great fun and there should only be the need for three or four rehearsals. Anyone who wants to give it a try can contact me via [email protected] or 01865 714778 or via Messenger.
