Squires of the Spring Grove Morris Men Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.
- Douglas Bader
Spring Grove's Staff of Membership of the Morris Ring, presented in 1984 to Alan Vaughan by Barry Care MBE of Moulton Morris Men when Spring Grove danced in at the Thaxted Meeting of the Morris Ring
The constitution is quite clear. A squire is elected for two years, after which point he must stand down and may not be re-elected as squire again until a different squire has served. It doesn't take very long to see that this invarying and simple rule is hard to follow in practice. Doug Gray left for the antipodes, Alan Vaughan for other reasons, and Robin Aitken looked after the shop during a very quiet time in our history.
