After an introduction to Morris Dancing at school, aged 11, Rob managed to avoid any entanglement with Morris for another 20 years or so.
Knowing of his addictive personality he feared becoming ensnared and becoming a ‘Morris Tragic’, and thus it was to prove when he accidentally assisted at an early practice of the Jolley Hatters and fell into the carefully laid trap.
As is so often the case, Rob started on the easy stuff – Adderbury and Bampton – but soon found himself with a full blown addiction to Fieldtown, Lichfield and Oddington to feed.
Now, more than 30 years later, he accepts his addiction and is a member of several different teams in different states and, in 2019, drove a total distance of more than 35,000km to spend his weekends dancing or teaching The Morris.
