LOVE IN A BOX The generosity of Golborne and Lowton school children was shown again this year when many schools in the area took part in the shoebox appeal for Operation Christmas Child. These boxes will bring love and joy to many children especially in Ukraine where most of the boxes are going.

A Big Thank You to everyone who took part. Have a very blessed and happy Christmas.

Jesus is the Reason for the Season.

Golborne Morris Dancers - Ending the Season on a High!

We have had a very successful year with some absolutely fantastic results for our dancers. We have also seen a few new girls coming along and seeing what it is all about. Are you curious?

Please do not hesitate to come along and take a look at what we do. Our newest members will vouch for us that you will feel welcomed and your girls will be gaining new skills, exercise and a great social network of friends that becomes your second family.

We are open to any age of dancers from 2 years upwards and even have some older dancers in their 40's putting their pumps back on.

Please do not hesitate to give us a try, you will not regret it!
