Morris Ring
"Morris Ring goes full circle."
The Morris Ring
was founded to encourage the performance of Morris Dancing, to maintain its traditions and to preserve its history. Sides could join the Ring only if they were approved by existing members who set certain standards of dancing. In practice this meant that male-only teams could join the Morris ring.
In the 1970s and 1980s this drew criticisms from the Morris Federation and Open Morris Organisations but although the debate has now calmed down a few individuals may still retain strong feelings about the merits or demerits of all male, women's and mixed Morris even though the three organisations now often work in partnership towards shared goals.

However the popularity of Morris amongst mixed and womens sides is such that the the Morris ring now accepts sides that upholds the standards and dignity of the Morris.
