H&M have changed their range vary slightly.
Attached photos (apologies for the quality) shows the T-shirt currently
available. Still a 'divided basics' t-shirt, but they now size them XS-XL
rather than 6-18.

Hi all,
I have now made the Premier Inn booking for DERT. We are booked into the
Leeds City Centre (Arena) hotel for the Friday and the Saturday nights.
The hotel's address is Hepworth Point, Clay Pit Lane, Leeds LS2 8BQ.
I've booked one double for Nikki and Ozzy and four twin rooms for Becky,
Jo, Sue, Laura S, Nic, Rachel, Ffion and Hannorah.
If you could all refund me £52, it would be very much appreciated - you can
either send it by bank transfer to the Ravens account or hand it to me at
practice.
Thanks a lot,
Rachel x
PS. The booking doesn't include breakfast, but if you want to add it for
the extortionate price of £8 each per breakfast, you're very welcome!
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who came crawling last night. Hope you had fun. Congratulations to Katherine and Laura F on completing their first dance outs and becoming fully fledged ravens!
Here's a video of the second half of the last dance- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVE5No7AwQM. If anyone else took any videos and can be bothered to upload them I'd love to see them. Make sure you save it as 'unlisted' - we don't want anyone to steal our moves before DERT ;-)
See you on Monday,
Ffion x
Hi all,
As most of you will know by now, I have been looking into redesigning the
sign up sheet. After taking on board various people's feedback, I will be
switching across to the new text version. There'll be a short trial period
where I'll try to keep both systems roughly aligned in case people forget.
Constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are obviously
welcome. I've had one suggestion already that the text system might work
better in excel - let me know if you have any strong feelings about that.
The new system is fairly easy to use. There's four rows for each event - a
yes, maybe, no, and no reply. You cut your name from the "no reply" row
and paste it depending on your availability. The events appear in
alphabetical order.
I've tried to make sure everybody has access, but let me know if you have
problems for any reason. Here you go, and have fun signing up!

Hi all,
I'm please to say that we finally cracked walk the dog tonight. The secret was to make it slower and simpler! Take a look at this video of silver flame doing it http://youtu.be/b41TzGOo9Sg. Here's the exact break down:
1st phrase) #1 turns out on beat 1, #2 turns out on beat 2, they walk round in a triangle, #1 comes back in on beat 7, #2 comes back in on beat 8
2nd phrase) #2 turns out on 1, #3 turns out on 2, they walk round in a triangle, #2 comes back in on beat 7, #3 comes back in on beat 8
3rd phrase) #3 turns out on beat 1, #4 turns out on beat 2, they walk round in a triangle, #3 comes back in on beat 7, #4 comes back in on beat 8
4th phrase) #4 turns out on beat 1, #5 turns out on beat 2, they walk round in a triangle, #4 comes back in on beat 7, #5 comes back in on beat 8
Everyone who was at the practice tonight managed to get through the figure so I'd like to dance it out on Thursday. I know Hannorah, Nic and Jo won't have done this although you've all tried the faster, more difficult version so I'm hoping, if we find a quiet spot to walk through the figure with you three (not sure if Nic and Jo are coming actually) it will be alright on the night.
Let me know if you've got any questions,
Ffion x
Dear all
Sorry to let you down... Again!! Can't make tonight :( Sorry! And realise I need to organise something social ;) Will add some dates on the doodle poll.... How do people feel about dinner after extra sunday practice 9th Feb?
Mmmmmm roast dinner....?
See you at the crawl on Thursday.

Hi all,
Just to let you know that I've uploaded a few videos to youtube:
Mabel Gubbins day in December http://youtu.be/oqdTHmRUKyg (I've posted this one publicly)
The video Hannorah took on my ipad on Thursday http://youtu.be/pxnTr2K0RkQ (unlisted so only people with this link can see it)
I've made lots of notes about what to work on next from looking at the one from Thursday! If you're in it, see if you can find one thing you'd like to change about your performance to work on next week.
See you on Monday,
Ffion x

Hi all,
Thanks so much to everybody for responding to my questions about DERT.
This is what I have collected. If you think any of it is wrong, let me
know, otherwise I'll make the group booking for the Premier Inn in the next
couple of days.
- - - - -
1. DERT TRANSPORT
By train: Aisha, Jo, Katherine, Sue. Some of you have tickets already, if
you want to agree specific trains I'll leave that to you.
By car: Ffion (+ Patrick), Hannorah and Nikki (+ Ozzy), two spaces each,
driving Becky, Laura S, Nic, Rachel and Sinead. Ffion and Nikki will be
leaving after work, Hannorah is thinking about leaving during the day.
Lindsey - you don't need to come via Leeds, which I'm sure will be a big
relief!
- - - - -
2. DERT ACCOMMODATION
Aisha, Sinead and Katherine will be staying elsewhere.
Those people who want to stay at the Premier Inn are: Becky, Jo, Sue,
Laura S, Nic, Nikki, Ozzy, Rachel, Ffion and Hannorah - which makes ten in
total.
The hotel does twin rooms, however for those of you asking about three
adults in a room, the website doesn't let you select more than 2 in the
drop down, and in the FAQ says: "Premier Inn’s policy does not allow more
than 2 adults to a room therefore you will need to book two rooms or more
if you have three or more adults in your party." So maybe they've changed
the policy recently?
Unless anybody objects, I will be booking 5 rooms - 4 twins and a double -
in the next couple of days. I will then be collecting money from each of
you. Sue, if you want a solo room I can book you that instead, but you'd
have to pay the higher price, and find somebody else who's also prepared to
pay the higher price.
- - - - -
Hope that all makes sense! Laura F - I'm assuming that although I've
bought you a ticket for the showcase, you'll be travelling and staying with
Tom and I don't need to sort that out.

Hi all
In my usual sheep like fashion ;) I am happy to go with the majority which I think at this stage is Premier inn.
Re: transport. If I can grab a lift and share petrol cost then great.
Hopefully see you all tonight if my second Tribunal of the day doesn't finish me off!!

I think the Met Uni is still an option if you'd prefer it, but everybody else who's replied is keener on the Premier Inn, so that's where most of us will be.

Thanks, Ffion, but it is rather a treck. Do we know if Leeds Met is still a possibility?
If not, I'd favour the Premier Inn too

On checking this out, the hostel seems to be a bit of a trek to the centre, and since the premier inn is essentially the same price but central, I think I may book to go in there. Since I'm not coming with my partner, I want to book a twin room to save on costs - this means I'm looking for a slumber buddy. Anyone interested? Just a warning - I'm a bit boring - I don't drink loads and will probably go to bed at a reasonable time. :D
Also, if anyone who is driving can offer me a lift, it would be very much appreciated!

Is this place too far away from the centre? http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Adriatic-Hotel/Leeds/66836?dat…
If we booked all the rooms that would be 12 beds. It would cost a total of £576.00 so £48 per person for the two night, if my maths is correct.

I'm having no luck at all chasing DERT accommodation. There are several Youth Hostels, but can't accommodate 14.
And I find it surprising that it isn't in university term-time.Plenty of trains on the Friday during the day, mostly £13.00, but more expensive for the return fare on the Sunday.
