A quick google has lead me to wanting people's opinions.
My personal opinion is that is is worth getting some stick-on logos of some
sort made, or to pay for printing, as opposed to making our own with felt
or sharpie pens. It will not be very expensive and we will get a slicker
more uniform look.
*Iron-on, we print ourselves option*
around 25-50p for each logo
+ cheap
+ can make more as and when just with a normal printer and an iron
- need to be able to iron the fabric
- can fade, peel, crack.
+ very flexible between logo choice, the TR one or the full name
*Embroidery onto items*
Cost af around £3-4
+ No stick on items. Embrodary is permanent
- can cause some fabrics to pucker
- Not possible on all items
- need to be taken to the embroidary shop
+ looks very slick
-/+ Permanent
- items sent away to shop
*Embroidery badges*
Cost af around £3-5 depending on size
+ Can stick them onto anything with glue, or sew them on
- We have to do the cutting/sewing
- Stick out a little
- Cause a stiff patch on thin materials
- There will be a background colour associated, so they might look weird on
some items
- Mass order required
*Stencil*
One off cost
+cheap over a number of logos
- we have to get good at stenciling
- won't work on some things - eg Hoddies
+ good for bags
- design is only as permanent as our sharpie pens or fabric paint.
*Send them to the Printers*
£1-2 per logo
+/- permanent
+ works on most fabrics
- can peel/crack with time, but not as badly and DIY transfers
+ Would work very well with our bags
+ works well for the back of hoodies
- items sent away to shop
In the first instance - I was thinking for the pump-bags that hannorah has
got for everyone. However, if we decide we like embroidered badges, we
should probably be thinking of more long term, as there are minumum orders
or around 20. The more you get however, the less they cost individually.
(Price difference between 30 and 50 was £140 vs £180 - not very much extra
for almost doubel the quantity)
So, thoughts?
Linds
p.s. I just found somewhere that does glow-in-the-dark logo printing. How
cool would that be on hoodies at festivals in the evening!
Hi all,
Just a note to say thanks again for my lovely flowers and card. It was very kind of all of you and a total surprise!
We didn't get through all of the items to discuss on the agenda on Monday so next practice we'll do 1 hour of dancing, extended business in the hall and then hopefully a bit more dancing if we have time.
Hope you all have nice weeks.

Hi everyone
Sorry to be a right old pain, but the Whitby poll isn't working properly atm. The others are.
Lindsey's going to have a look at it when she gets a moment. I'm a complete novice at this and so I must have done something wrong, but can't work out for the life of me what that something was.
So please ignore the Whitby one until we've managed to fix it.
Cheers

Just getting a feel for whether we
could get a side together for this. We haven't been invited, but it
could probably be arranged if we're interested and available. We
could also probably just go informally for one or both days. NB
Fantastic ice cream shop

Good afternoon ladies,
I hope you all got home ok last night and enjoyed sleeping in your own beds! I hope you're also all feeling proud if what we achieved at the weekend. We did some great dances and came 6th overall in the open class. I think that's an accurate representation of where we're at at the moment and I'm looking forward to getting the judges comments to see what they have to say, although I'm sure we can guess what some of the comments will be!
I've attached a picture of the 'final' marks (as of yesterday morning) and here is a break down:
We came 6th in the open class overall with 502 marks
We were the 4th best new team (out of 5)
We were 7th out of 13 in the open class for dancing with 428 points
We were joint 8th out of 13 for buzz (joint with NYFTE) with 107 points but this was very close to cinquefoil and Warwick 1
Nikki was joint 7th in the open (with cinquefoil) and joint 16th overall (also with Mabel Gubbins). She got 60 points which was higher than 2 championship teams (northgate and maltby Phoenix)
Sue was joint 4th in the open (with sisters in arms, durham uni and Dorset buttons) and joint 13th overall. She got 74 points which put her above championship tommies from Mons Meg and Whip the Cat
So... now it's time to look to the future! There are lots of things we could do in the next six months or so but it would be good to have a discussion to decide which things to prioritise. I therefore propose that we have an hour of dancing next Monday followed by an hour of chat. However, looking at the list below perhaps you think we should just have the chat with no dancing. What do you think? The following are a list of things we could think about doing in the next 6 months - we won't do all of them. Please send me any more ideas you've got to put on the list and we'll discuss them all next Monday.
Learning current dance
Teach the dance to Lindsey
Teach number one to Jo
Teach someone else 5
Get Sue confident at number 5
Work on being able to fix mistakes
Developing the current dance
Learn to tumble
Design TR underwear (that's Nikki's suggestion by the way!)
Put walk the dog in
Put tits in
Other dances
Create new, outside slow dance
Learn a traditional dance
Bookings
Tenterden - update from Hannorah
More festivals to look in to
Hastings - update from Nikki
Set up regular crawl dates
DART (DERT in America)
Team members
Recruit more tommies and Betties
Recruit more members - hold a workshop?
Recruit more musicians
Getting some swords
Frank Lee (http://www.rapper-swords.co.uk) / Jimmie Kilner (http://kjmrapperswords.co.uk)
When can we afford it?
Updates from positions
Finance update
Kit update
Social secretary update
Logo and website update
Do send me anything else you'd like to talk about. The more I look at the list, the more I think we probably should cut straight to the discussion rather than do any dancing. Does anyone object?
Looking forward to seeing some of you at the ceilidh on Friday (more details coming from Nic!) and well done again!!
Ffion x
So... For dinner I have Ffion, Lyndsey, Sue, Joanna and I. Janet? If I've missed someone out sure we can sort an extra body or two.
I promise to be more organised in the future!
See everyone else at the ceilidh.
Happy fridays
