Sorry to send this to everyone, but I couldn't work out how to find Laura's and Becky's addresses. Just bin it if you aren't Laura or Becky. S x From: connollysue(a)hotmail.com To: katherineh.richardson(a)gmail.com Subject: Ravens outfit Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2013 16:23:15 +0000 Hi Katherine, Becky and Laura I'm sewing skirts and sashes for Becky and Laura atm and it would be easy to make Katherine's too, if you like. If you'd prefer to do it yourself, that's absolutely fine: I'll bring fabric and pattern tomorrow. But if you'd like me to make them for you, could you confirm your waist measurement and finished skirt length, please? Inches or cms. Do I remember that you tried on mine and you need one about an inch bigger? I really should write down everything because I can never remember from one moment to the next! Waist is on your natural waistline, ie round the thinnest part of you and skirt length is approx 4 inches/10 cm above your knees. I'm trying to get them done for Thursday, but can't promise. You may need to swap outfits around if you are dancing. In the meantime you all need to buy a black T-shirt of your own from H&M. Details of T-shirt, tights and shoes attached. Hope to see you tomorrow, S x

Invite Update

by Rachel Sheridan

Hi all, Meant to send this last week but ran out of time. Things had better calm down this week! In the meantime, here are some updates: 1. SLVER FLAME CRAWL (SAT 21 DEC 2013) Silver Flame have invited us to crawl with them on Saturday. Unless there's a huge flurry of signups tonight, I'm turning this down, as we currently have one yes! - - - - - 2. CHINGFORD WASSAIL (SAT 4 JAN 2014) There's quite a lot of interest in this, and we have dancers but no music - Nikki is a No. Ffion, can you play? Laura? Anybody else? If we can get a musician this week I'll say yes, otherwise I'm going to have to turn it down. - - - - - 3. NORTHWOOD DAY OF DANCE (SAT 10 MAY 2014) We've confirmed this but don't actually have enough dancers at present. Please, please, sign up! - - - - - 4. DERT The application for a team place for DERT has gone in, we are waiting to see if we've been accepted, so watch this space! - - - - - 5. NEW INVITES A couple of new invites have come in for the summer, including the Sandwich Folk and Ale Festival on 11-13 July. Please sign up if you're available! - - - - - Thanks all. The sheet is here as always: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSz… Happy Christmas! Rachel x

Urgent: New Invite for Sat 21st!

by Rachel Sheridan

Hi all, We've just had an invite through from Silver Flame regarding a possible crawl on Saturday 21st. It' really short notice, so I'd appreciate lots of prompt replies! You can reply to this email (Y/N will do) or sign up on the sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSz… They say: "Hello! Silver Flame are having a practice weekend in London next weekend (20-22nd Dec) somewhere in the depths of North London.We usually try and do a crawl on the Saturday night to try and get some real pub dancing in and collect a bit of money to cover costs of travel as we are all so spread out over the country. Would you (we've also messaged Thrales) be up for joining forces and hitting a few pubs somewhere across the city for a Christmassy crawl? We appreciate this is short notice but it would be great to hear from you." It'd be good to get some indication of numbers before Monday, so I hope to see lots of replies! I can't do it, as trains home for Christmas are already booked for Saturday lunchtime. Full email of invites to follow. Thanks, Rachel x

Signups Please!

by Rachel Sheridan

Hi all, As mentioned earlier, I won't be there tonight. I think I might get out of work at a reasonable hour (for once!), but then I need to go home and sleep... I hope to make it to practice soon though. Work is calming down a bit, and I haven't seen you all in ages! Maybe next week, all being well. In the meantime... - - - - - 1. CRAWLS (19 DEC 2013 / 30 JAN 2014) We've told Folk London we're doing them, so let's make it good! The more the merrier! 2. WASSAILING WITH CHINGFORD MORRIS (4 JAN 2014) This is still a little while away (after Christmas!) but I'd love to be able to reply to say we can come in the next couple of weeks, so please sign up to that! We've not quite got a side at present, so another couple of names would be good. It sounds like a lovely little event up in North London: "there will be dancing, music and eating and drinking from 7.30pm onwards". 3. NORTHWOOD DAY OF DANCE (10 MAY 2014) we've told Northwood we're coming, but only just have a side! I have to give official numbers soon, so if you're thinking of coming to this, please sign up. 4. NEW: SANDWICH FOLK AND ALE FESTIVAL (11-13 JULY 2014) "For any new sides being invited, Sandwich is a beautiful small Medieval town near the coast of SE Kent near the end of the M2. There will be live music performed in the pubs and on 2 stages. Camping is on a private site within easy walking distance of the town centre and with good facilites. It is subsidised 50% by the festival leaving folk to pay just £5 / large pitch per night. As well as live bands/acts there will be tune and singalong sessions. Please let me know if your side can make it and which days they will bwe performing (sat/sun/both)" Is this something we want to do? We did say more festivals would be fun... 5. CINQUEFOIL / RAVENS DAY OF DANCE (tbc) Cinquefoil don't have a side for either of the January dates, so we're postponing this til after DERT. Watch this space for new dates! - - - - - That's all from me for now. I hope practice goes well tonight and hope to see you all soon! Don't forget the sign ups: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSz… Rachel x
