STOCKPORT SILVER JUBILEES
MORRIS TROUPE

                            

 

WE ARE TRAINED BY ALISON HOWLE (NEE RENSHAW).

 WE WERE FORMED IN 1977, THAT IS HOW WE BECAME

THE JUBILEES BECAUSE IT WAS THE QUEENS  SILVER

JUBILEE YEAR.

IN 2002 WE CELEBRATED OUR 25TH YEAR AND CHANGED

OUR NAME TO STOCKPORT SILVER JUBILEES.

                                             

ALISON USED TO DANCE FOR THE ROMILEY ACES,

THEY USED TO PRACTISE OUTSIDE THE TRAINERS

FLAT IN THE SUMMER AND IN PUB IN THE WINTER

 BEFORE SHE   DECIDED TO  HIRE A ROOM. 

 AFTER SEVEN YEARS THE TRAINER DECIDED TO

FINISH THE TROUPE.

 

 

ALISON WAS 15 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, AND SAID

SHE WOULD CARRY ON WITH THE TROUPE.  HER MUM

 SAID SHE WAS TOO YOUNG, BUT WITH THE HELP OF

HER MUM (WHO IS STILL A TREMENDOUS HELP TODAY)

AND THE REST OF THE PARENTS SHE BUILT THE

TROUPE UP AND GAVE OUR FIRST DISPLAY ON

 JUBILEE DAY.   WE PRACTISED AT ROMILEY

 LIBERAL CLUB UNTIL WE WERE TOLD WE WERE

 DAMAGING THE FLOOR FOR THE BALLROOM

 DANCERS (REALLY IT WAS BECAUSE WE NEVER

 USED THE BAR).   WE MOVED TO THE LAPWING

CENTRE IN BRINNINGTON WHERE WE STILL ARE

TODAY. 

 

WE HAVE WON NUMEROUS COMPETITIONS AND

MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS OVER THE YEARS, AND

WE HAVE DANCED FOR A LOT OF ORGANISATIONS:-

NRCO  MANECCO  LCA  NCA  ETACO  CGW  MCA 

BAMCO  HAMDA  ADMO  GMMDA  KMDO  NEWDA 

GMCA  AND THE GREATLY MISSED TERRY ROWLANDS.

 

SO AS YOU CAN SEE ALISON HAS BEEN ROUND

THE BLOCK QUITE A LOT BEEN THERE, DONE  

THAT AND WORN THE T-SHIRT
