The 2009 Unconvention took place in Utrecht, Netherlands.
It was hosted by the Utrecht Morris Team, who gave us a great time and lots of old friends renewed their acquaintances and lots of new friendships were made. A full report will be posted here in due course, but suffice it to say that a good time was had by all and that grateful thanks are due to our hosts. Any pictures can be sent to the Scrivener, the U.M.T, or forwarded to this site via Knotty by clicking here.

I managed to get a place on the Trafalgar Square Plinth from 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. on 8th October 2009.

That should also get you to our profiles.
I was not expecting anyone to watch me at that time in the morning, but a few people were around to heckle and learn about Morris and our F&B activities. Indeed, one said it was the best lecture he had ever been to at 3 in the morning!
Sadly no Morris Dancers appeared.
