Morris Booklets and Notes

Roys notes are compiled as a series of booklets which he has used at various lectures and workshops. I have presented these as they have been handed to me by Roy with as few changes as possible. The contents list here uses the titles for the sections as they were passed to me.

This Set of Notes do not neccesarily fit into any particular dance category and have been used by Roy for lectures or just to capture his thoughts.
