Dancers
Hilary
I formed Shinfield Shambles in 1994. I dance in orange. I really enjoy morris dancing - the fitness angle, the places it takes you to both home and abroad and dancing with other morris sides in the summer at local pubs.

I have danced with Shinfield Shambles since the side formed. I dance in turquoise. I originally joined as a fun way to keep fit, which it has certainly proved to be!

Lyn
I have been with the side since the beginning. To start with I wasn't sure if morris dancing was 'my thing', but all these years later I'm still doing it and loving it! I dance in cerise.

I was working with Lyn and went along to the first session just to see what morris dancing was like and really enjoyed it. Morris dancing is a good way of meeting new, interesting people and visiting towns, villages, pubs etc. around the area and further afield. I wear dark green.

I have been dancing with Shinfield Shambles from the age of 12, with my mother Hilary. My colour is bright green and I have a cactus as my flower.

I started dancing with Shambles to keep fit and I'm still doing it because it's tremendous fun. It gets you out and about to local fetes and festivals and there's always a cup of tea and a bun opportunity! I am also interested in learning to play the melodeon. My flower is a poppy and I dance in red.

Geet
I joined Shinfield Shambles in January 2013 and brought Marion along with me. The Morris fraternity is very welcoming and I have met a lot of new friends. My colour is white and my flower is the canna lily.

Geet and I joined Shinfield Shambles within a week of each other. My flower is a daffodil and I dance in yellow.

Diana
I had a great time at a Shinfield Shambles workshop back in 2013 but it wasn’t until 2016 that I finally joined up, thinking the exercise would do me good. And it has been brilliant, not just for keeping me fit but for the huge fun I’ve had. I’ve been made so welcome that I feel like one of the family. My flower is the cornflower and I dance in blue.
