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. Lindsey

Thurs - Crawl Pimlico

by Hannorah Lee

Hi All Tomorrow's crawl is still going ahead, thanks to Janet who went out and secured the pubs. Let's meet in the White Swan 114 Vauxhall Bridge Rd at 7pm, ready to start the 1st dance no later than 7.30pm: http://www.taylor-walker.co.uk/pub/white-swan-victoria/c0066/?utm_source=g_… Nearest station is Pimlico on the Victoria Line, but Victoria & Vauxhall aren't far either. We have a reduced route of 4 or 5 pubs, which feels about right as we have a reduced team of: Laura (quaver ravening), Jo (1), Janet (2), Becky (3), Hannorah/Sinead (4/Tommy), Katherine (5). Lyndsey and Rachel - you're down as maybes - so let me know if you think you might make it either to dance or just come for the craic, so we know to wait for you. Anyone else who fancies coming please do - the more the merrier. As this is a relaxed crawl wear whatever denier tight you feel most comfortable in. See you then H Sent from my iPhone

Hi, I'm really sorry for the last minuteness but I've got home really late so I'm not going to make it tonight. I hope you have a good one.

York etc.

by Becky Such

1. Info regarding York. Trains and accommodation.2. Sign up reminders3. Gift for Ru4. Reminder re. Jig Practice 1. Right I have tried to assemble as much information as possible regarding York although it is a work in progress. Please find attached the weekends itinerary- We have to be ready to be in a parade at half ten around the city centre and then should have finished I'm guessing around 3 on the Sunday. Trains take about two hours, so that gives you an idea regarding leaving times. If anyone has any idea of train offers please do shout out at the moment prices are approximately £60 travelling early Saturday and back Sunday, or more like £90 travelling Friday night and back on Sunday. This is without railcards etc. We will be subsidising the travel, we just need to confirm exactly how much we can do this by- please don't let the cost put you off-we do crawls for a reason! We have been given information regarding a hall that we could stay in which is about ten minutes walk from the centre. There are futon type mattresses to sleep on and a small kitchen where we could make teas coffees and light meals, although no actual cooking. We would also be able to lock our possessions securely away while we're out for the day.There are toilets with sinks but no showers- major downside! And we have to be out by 9 on the Saturday morning, although that could easily be a time for breakfast and making our way to the parade.BUT it only costs £10 per person per night, plus a £50 deposit, I can't really see us getting much cheaper than that. If people don't like the idea of this I also have some information regarding youth hostels which I will research price wise etc. Any other opinions please let me know and I can gather more information. 2. Reminder to please sign up to new events including most urgently the Puzzle Party on the 8th of August- most people haven't replied so we can't give a firm response!https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmF… Similarly we have been invited to Blackheath Morris Tour on the 11th September. I am aware this is smack bang in the middle of events but if there is anyone not doing the days away this would be a nice opportunity to dance out. 3. Regarding the clog workshop, Ru said no to a cash payment but we'd like to get her a gift to say thank you. As Ken is working with Ru's husband, Jon, I have them doing some investigating! So far we have found out that Pralines are always a good bet, but Jon is going to have a look at her amazon wish list and see if anything else seems suitable. We did have a suggestion of sheet music, although it's trying to guess what she's like. All other suggestions welcome! 4. This coming Monday is a one off jig practice to be a good filler on days of dance. If you are interested please come along wearing some sort of plimsolls rather than rapper shoes. If not we'll see you the next week for business as usual :) I will try and send more information regarding York prices later this week. Becky x

Hello all- specifically musicians. Thrales have asked me to send out an appeal for musicians available this Friday to play for their tour. They think it will be in the Hammersmith area. Please let me know asap if you are available and would like to go along. Thanks, Becky

Tonight

by Lindsey Kennedy

I am very sorry guys. I've been off ill today - and have only just woken up... I had hoped to be better by this evening, but this will probably not the case :-( Fffion, Nikki, Sue and myself won't be there, but no-one else has yet said they won't be there. The plan was to go over a couple of the new moves for the new dance. These are: 1) Windmills into single tumble 2) Windmills into double tumble 3) Choker and star breastplate 4) Fountains-dambusters - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4i_Mu2reqtgVjhjelplUlQ0WWc/edit?usp=shari… 5) Tits/follower If there are people there that don't know the whole of the Jubilee Dance - teach them a couple of new figures. If it makes more sense to do Jigs tonight - and then go for it. Sorry again guys, Lindsey

Apologies

by Sue Connolly

Just a quick reminder that I can't be at practice tonight, nor Thursday's crawl, nor next Monday. Really sorry. Enjoy! NB We have been invited to join Blackheath Morris on a tour of Herne Hill on 11th September (short train ride from Victoria, Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon, St Pancras etc on First Capital Direct). Over to Becky..... S x

Next two weeks

by Ffion Mair

Hi all, Another good practice last night - our two newbies danced the first few figures at dance speed and we created another one, or possibly two, figures for the new dance. Just a quick reminder that I won't be here for the next couple of weeks. Next week Lindsey will be teaching, mostly working on getting the funky new figures danced in time and at speed. The video of the breastplate figure is attached should you want to practise in your heads in advance! The following week it's jigs with Katherine and Kat :-) Have a fun few weeks! Ffion x

Fwd: Re: [TR Committee] York Festival Of Traditional Dance

by Lindsey Kennedy

I think Becky is away until the end of the week, so I'm forwarding this on. It looks like there is an indoor camping venue which would be possibly just tower ravens. Other options are listed.
