Re-written Nut article
by Miriam Snowball 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

Hey guys, I totally forgot about the nut article I was supposed to be altering (oops) so have just done it now and will send it off tomorrow afternoon. Please have a look and let me know if you think the new version is ok - it's just the last 2 highlighted paragraphs about the ceilidh and fundraising bit that I've changed so not lots to read through :) Thanks in advance :) Miriam

DART Meeting 5
by Hannah Norman 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hi All, Thanks for the call earlier - we eventually beat the tech! Will figure out something better in future, though it did seem to work! Minutes attached... So, as probably fairly clear from emails earlier in the week, a lot of our work on this is on hold - no events (obvs!) and it isn't currently appropriate to be asking for corporate sponsorship or to be advertising the crowdfunding page for the time being. (We should still compile the list of potential organisations to consider once this is all over.) However, work on grants can continue - though we should note that it is possible that DART may be postponed or even cancelled, so we may not attend until 2021. This needs to be included in any applications and needs to be added to the Crowdfunding page and the DART page on the website. I am not going to organise any day practices until we are back dancing. Also, massive thanks to Miriam for writing that article for the Nut - shame it's already out of date due to the ceilidh! Thanks, Hannah

DART: Progress from Meeting 4
by Hannah Norman 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Hi All, First things first, although we are scheduled to have our next meeting on Wednesday next week (18th), neither Martin or I can make it as we have family visiting. So, we need to reschedule. If you can't make 25th March please shout now! In terms of progress - seems like a fair amount has been done in the last few weeks: - Miriam has produced the first draft of an article for the Nut. Pretty sure deadline for copy is 14th March -* Can you share the latest version please @Miriam? *If everyone could provide comments asap so we can get them incorporated that would be fab. I can look out a suitable image from the photos folder (maybe a popcorn??) - Ceilidh - ticket page is live, just need to keep up the buzz on the old social media for this. Flyers went out at IVFDF and we have an ad in Folk London. The TR page has now posted about this, we'll probably get twitter on board too - Grant Applications seem to be bubbling along, but do shout if there is anything anyone can help with Emma / Hannorah! Is the EFDSS and Arts Council ones now on the list? Other things that I'm not sure where we are with, if it's all ticking along nicely that's great, if you've forgotten about it, here's a wee reminder! - Postcard thank yous for the crowdfunding page - Emma - can you share your letter for grant applications at some point please? - Tori - list of folk world avenues for applying for money - Hannah TD - list of corporate people we could contract / formal letter draft - Hannah TD - DART page on the TR page - Car hire - Day practice doodle - coming soon! (wanted to wait for the crawl doodle to be out the way) - Logistics check spreadsheet - also coming soon And as a reminder - we have a folder on the Ravens G Drive if you want to store anything there too for reference / sharing with others: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rAJw0dto2IZ7fP6livi_5r7jOHHcbgUN Thanks, Hannah

DART - Grant Applications - Info needed asap
by Hannah Norman 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Hi All There are some grant applications that apply to individual people rather than the whole team, so to help Hannorah and Emma S with this I needto compile the following from everyone who is going to DART. If you could reply as soon as poss that would be extremely helpful. I'll compile everything into the one list. 1. Are you happy to be applied for as an individual? If not, leave it here. If yes: 2. Age 3. Hometown (where you grew up - main place(s) I guess for those that travelled about a lot!) 4. What area of London do you currently live? (or other area if out of London!) 5. Any particular USP (unique selling point) that makes you fundable. Could be that you are studying dance, or write about folk music or are a promising full-time musician or any other (however tenuous) thing? Thanks, Hannah

Dart meeting 4 minutes
by Hannah Norman 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Hi All, Please find minutes attached from Wednesday. Was a very productive meeting, so thank you all for making excellent progress. Couple of key updates: - Crowdfunding page is a go! - we are not applying for Charitable Status, it is too much effort for the minimal benefit that it might bring; - HTD has kindly taken over leading on the Corporate Sponsorship Otherwise, minutes attached and Action Points below. Let me know if I've missed anything off, and if anyone needs help with anything that they are working on please do shout. Thanks, Hannah *Action points* ◦ CW to share Postcard thank you design and then get printed ◦ Mention crowdfunding page in business ◦ TR official post next week about it (HTD or make MC an admin) ◦ MS draft article for The Nut ◦ Ceilidh with Tower Ravens – ticket page to go live on Friday ◦ WA to get advert for ceilidh in Folk London ◦ MC / EH to provide ES / HL with info for grant applications (2nd and 3rd ones look to be possible, 1st not sure we can qualify) ◦ HL to do the easyfundraising thing ◦ ES to share the letter (can then use for other stuff too) ◦ EFDSS funding for WA at very least ◦ TH compile list of folk world avenues for applying for money ◦ HTD compile list of corporate people we could contact and draft formal letter ◦ HTD make DART page on TR web live ◦ EH / MC discuss flight money ◦ MC provisionally book car hire ◦ HN create day practice doodle ◦ HN organise logistics checks etc

DART progress since meeting 3
by Hannah Norman 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hi All, It's just over a week until the next DART meeting, so thought I'd send a brief reminder on what we were last time and the progress I am aware of so far. The fundraising ceilidh is now all booked in and we have Nick Walden calling, so that's now sorted too. Will discuss next week, but we'll have to start thinking about advertising etc. Sounds like Will has this all under control at the mo. Action points: ◦ HN to share the DART G Drive folder for everyone to make use of - done ◦ HN / TH proofread CW page, BS to review - I think updates are done on this, we just need to figure out the logistics of the thank you postcard idea. *Becky *would you like to have a review? ◦ HL to confirm whether “hopeful” grant application requires charitable status - *Hannorah?* How's this going?? I think you said it was due in March? Do you need help writing? If so, Tori is happy to help ◦ HTD to add page to TR website - any updates? Should have the crowdfunding page available for you v soon! ◦ All consider things to do whilst away ◦ TH to draft why we might need to be a charity and assess implications if not a charity. HN to help update. HL/ES provide info - any update? Starting to reach a point where applying for charity status is pointless - given it will take about 2 months to do and the faff currently outweighs the benefit. ◦ EH review banking implications of becoming a charity - Emma, I wouldn't worry about this if you haven't done it as what the benefit of being a charity would be as this is basically unclear at the mo If we wish to look at corporate sponsorship we will need someone to take this on. Thanks, Hannah

DART meeting 3 minutes
by Hannah Norman 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Hi All, Please find the minutes from last night's DART meeting attached, with key action points at the bottom of this email. One key thing to note is that we are not a charity at the moment. If we had everything lined up now I think we could get there in about 6-8 weeks. However, there is not currently a strong argument for why we need this, so Tori is going to pull this together, but she will need info on how much of the grants we need to be a charity for. We also need to understand the implications for fundraising if we are not a charity. Thanks for taking this on Tori! Hannorah / Emma S I think you should have some of the info that will help with this... I created a folder on the Ravens G Drive for DART stuff, please feel free to make use of it for sharing stuff: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rAJw0dto2IZ7fP6livi_5r7jOHHcbgUN?us… Clare, I'm hoping to whizz through a proofread of your crowdfunding page shortly and think Tori might be looking at this too? Will you be around to make changes later? Think a couple of typos were spotted last night. I imagine Becky will want a look before it goes live and there was a hope that maybe we can get it ready by tomorrow... Thanks, Hannah Action points: ◦ HN to share the DART G Drive folder for everyone to make use of ◦ HN / TH proofread CW page, BS to review ◦ HL to confirm whether “hopeful” grant application requires charitable status ◦ HTD to add page to TR website ◦ All consider things to do whilst away ◦ TH to draft why we might need to be a charity and assess implications if not a charity. HN to help update. HL/ES provide info ◦ EH review banking implications of becoming a charity
