Threatening potential new members with a gun, restraining them with sticks and then tying them to a Maypole all seems a little desperate, as recruitment methods go.

Roy Dommett CBE, 1933-2015

Tributes are being paid today to Roy Dommett, former UK Chief Missile Scientist and morris dancer, who sadly died yesterday. I never met Roy and only heard his name mentioned once or twice, but reading about him he sounds like a fascinating guy and is a lesson to all of us that morris can sit alongside any occupation.
