Dave Robertson
9th October, 2025
We are sad to report the passing of Dave Robertson. Dave joined CRMM in 1970, and later, when he moved to Norfolk, danced with Kemps Men for many years. He was an excellent dancer, musician and singer.

Welcome Workshop
New starters
We are welcoming anyone who would like to try Morris dancing. Our practice sessions are an ideal way for you to have a go, learn some steps and hit some sticks. You'll soon be able to join in dances with the rest of us. Practice nights are in Henfield every Wednesday from October to May 1st, when we start our summer dance-out season with a May Day celebration on Chanctonbury Ring near Wiston, West Sussex.
News
The National Morris Ring used to allow men-only Morris sides but, in line with many other organisations, has removed this restriction. Accordingly, Chanctonbury Ring Morris is now welcoming everyone, and is dropping ‘Men’ from its name.
