Squires of the Spring Grove Morris Men

Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.

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.
