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,
After a fun crawl on Thursday (see film of Flower of Forest dance http://youtu.be/pRnLIZV9aZg) and lots of holidays I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of practices and making lots more progress with this new dance. I've created a draft new dance which is at the end of this email. I'm sure it will need to be edited and refined but at least it's something to work towards. I know we haven't had our session on 'dancing in small and slippery places' yet but I think we should focus on the new dance as much as possible for the next month and make sure we do small and slippery before the October crawl. We'll have another new member tomorrow - an American called Anna who's done some rapper before. Maybe she'll be able to teach us some cool made up American figures! (New) Katherine, can you remember which number you were learning?

Teaching Anna: 1) Jo 2) new Katherine? 3) Rhona 4) Anna 5) Hannorah
New dance - walk all the way through the dance
15 Sept
In this practice I'd like to focus mostly on the new dance - getting 5 people all the way through with music then teaching more people some of the figures. We might also do some work on stepping.
Recap on where we've got to with new members/new positions.

Perfecting (!) new dance: 1) Ffion, 2) Lindsey 3) Becky 4) Hannorah 5) Katherine
As always, please let me know if you can't be at a practice, especially if your name's on the list. I'm hoping we'll be able to have 2 sets going most weeks from now on.
See you on Monday!

Hi all,
Sorry for not sending anything about the crawl sooner. I've just been out to square some pubs (2 yeses, 2 maybe, 1 no but you can dance outside) and will do some more after work on Tuesday. This is my proposed route, for those who want to know where we're going and to put on social media. I've got more on here than we'll need because I'm sure some will say no/not have decent floors.
The crown and cushion (yes)The horse and stable (maybe)The Walrus (yes)The Artichoke and Camel (outside)Duke of SussexThe Stage DoorThe Cut at the Young VicThe Kings ArmsThe White HartThe WellingtonThe Hole in the wall
I've put them on a google map so you should be able to see the route. The first few pubs are closer to Lambeth North tube station than Waterloo itself but I think we should definitely end at the Hole in the Wall which is right next to Waterloo.
I think we usually say arrive at 7pm in order to start dancing at 7.30pm. The first pub does food, although it may all be Thai! There are lots of people signed up to come, so it should be a good night. I'm certainly looking forward to dancing again - feels like it's been ages what with all my holidays! We still don't have a musician - Nikki is a 'no reply' and Laura is a 'maybe'. Can either of you make it? Patrick might be able to come but he won't be able to commit until the day (the rabbit's having the chop and we don't know what time he'll wake up at!). I'm happy to ask Martin if necessary.
See you soon,
Ffion x

Hi All!
Good practice yesterday, not absolutely perfect but well done Kat on getting solid at 3, reckon a few times out next Thursday and we'll be on for York!
Also Rhona took a video of us dancing some new moves so hopefully that will all help in developing the new dance :)
REMINDER: There will be no practice this coming Monday (25th) as it is Bank Holiday. We ARE crawling on that Thursday in Waterloo, as organised by Ffion. I have noticed that we don't have a musician- Laura you're down as a maybe? Or do we need to get someone else- maybe Patrick?
Re. York:
I am waiting to hear back from the accommodation regarding payment but that is all still under way. At the moment we don't have anywhere to leave our luggage, although there are various locker facilities available to us. Last night we did discuss a couple of people whizzing to and from the accommodation in a taxi in the morning just after we get there- taxi can be subbed. The hall and the first place to dance are both about 20 mins walk from the station but it's probably about 40 mins from station-to hall-to dance spot. Thinking caps on if anyone else has any ideas.
I'm still waiting on the hall regarding having it as a venue for clogging on the 10th of September- as yet nothing is certain so we may have to delay it. Again I will let you know once I hear something, I think with them being on a break for the summer it's rather hard for them to find out anything for sure!
I'm assuming Ffion will be contacting everyone about the crawl next Thursday when she's back from Whitby. Those of you who are going I will see you next week :)
If have a spare minute remember to double check the sign-up sheet!
