Mike Trought was introduced to the side by Joe Marns and Richard Browning, but left to move out to New Zealand. He danced with Auckland MM for a few years then moved down onto the South Island where he is now professor of something or other at Canterbury University, Christchurch. He still dances when they have a side for whilst there are 2 or 3 sides in Christchurch, depending on who you talk to and the time of year, none of them actually have 6 dancers at any one time!
