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
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it's already out of date due to the ceilidh!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
Updated time as Will can't make it until 7

Hi All,
Hopefully this works, there is a phone number at the bottom (highlighted yellow with the ID number it will ask you for) which will work even if you don't have skype.
I'm using my work skype for this as that's easier for me, so if you could only use this email for this meeting invite and otherwise stick to my gmail / the DART thread for anything else that would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Hannah

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,

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
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)

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
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
