At our practice on the 7th of October, 2009 we were delighted to be visited by Malcolm Appleton who is a West Somerset Morris dancer visiting Australia.  He also brought along a local musician, Ross, who is the father of Malcolm’s daughter’s partner.   As a momento of the occasion, Malcolm presented each Perth Morris Man a “West Somerset Morris Men” badge.
