Second and third performances at Amberley Museum, Amberley 14th December 2002
	The road to Amberley Drive along narrow country lanes, past old houses then off to the right you see the white wall of the chalk pit. Go under the railway bridge, turn right into the car park and there is the entrance to the museum. Taking pictures from moving cars on a dull day can give interesting effects as you can see in the fifth picture.
	The museum has a wealth of old engines., vehicles and other "stuff". Let's face it, anyone who names a steam engine "Peter" has got to be sensible.
	We got there quite early, an almost unheard of thing for Morris dancers, so we adjourned to the cafe for bacon butties, cakes and coffee. James had brought some wooden puzzles he had made so we taxed our brains studiously, as you can see from the pictures.
	Finally the rest of Red Stags and Stain Street arrived and met up in the car park as arranged. We, however, had been told to meet in the cafe so some confusion ensued. Fortunately a quick phone call straighted it out and we met everyone and got ready to perform.
	Stain Street perform their Mummers play.
	Stain Street Morris dance.
	Red Stags perform their Mummers play - the pictures are from both of the two performances. King John fights Slasher.
