Hello,
Last night we managed to get through a shortened version of Westerhope, to be danced out on Friday. I've attached my notes on the dance; the order is still subject to change, but you can read through the figures.
For Friday the dance will be:Walk on in a line, step for 8Walk around and Turn Out (single guard in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)Lock, step for 8, break out in walk around fashionCoach and horses, immediately into Double Cramper (1, 2, 4, & 5 step while 3 walks around, 3 steps while the rest do a mini curly, repeat)Lock, step, breakCoach and Horses, immediately into either Tipping Guard (3 moves forward, jumps over 5's sword and tumbles), or Jigging Guard (like Stand in Guard, but with no tumble)Lock, step, breakCoach and horses, immediately into Right and Left (3x curleys, then 3x figure of 8)
Walk around, Back Lock on 4, 1 takes lock & display in line, break the lockCoach and Horses immediately into modified Fourth Corner (1 & 5 jump, then 3 jumps)Lock3 takes lock to display in line, step for 8 until 'out' is called, grin widely in relief, march off after 8 bars as usual
Have a good week,Sinéad
I was so disappointed with our collection on Thursday because we didn't seem to collect very much in any pub. But I couldn't have been more wrong.
I've just reluctantly counted it and I'm astonished! We made £131.91 plus several Czech Korunas, Euros, UAE and Caribbean coins, which is absolutely fantastic. Well done, Hannorah! You were closest with £53 😄😄😄
By way of comparison, we made £78 and £87 on our last two tours of Holborn.
Well done everyone and a special thank you to everyone who collected so successfully, as well as Hannorah and Janet for making all the arrangements.

Awesome! Well done everyone. Those two new dances must have looked slicker than we thought!

Well done everyone on a great crawl this evening. We did 4 Westerhopes - all with successful backlocks - plus lots of new dances. There were lots of good points in both dances, and also lots we can work on before DERT! Thanks to Hannorah and Janet for another well organised route.
Hope you all have great weekends and see you on Monday.

Hi all,
I hope you're well and looking forward to the crawl on Thursday. I'm really hoping we'll be able to do both the new dance and the full Westerhope. I've slightly lost track of who's been learning what in Westerhope but here's how I think it will pan out:
New dance: 1) Ffion & Jo, 2) Lindsey & Laura, 3) Becky, 4) Hannorah & Reesha, 5) Katherine
Westerhope: 1) Ffion, 2) Janet, 3) Becky & Lizzie 4) Reesha, 5) Katherine
Please let me know if I've got anyone's position wrong! If we're going to any big pubs and if we have spare practice time (which I think is unlikely) we could also try a double Jubilee:
1) Jo & Katherine, 2) Janet & Laura, 3) Lindsey & Becky, 4) Reesha & Lizzie 5) Ffion & Sue, T) Hannorah
See you later!

Hi everyone,
Please see the details of DERT travel from Ken's email below- we maybe need to discuss everyone having groups of 3 to definitely travel with home but don't think that should be too bad :)
Thanks!Becky

Hi all,
Trains have been booked.
We have got a fairly good del in my opinion, 34% off for everyone which is equivalent to everyone having some sort of railcard.
It works out at £36.95 per person for an open return leaving Paddington on the 13:28 train which we have allocated seats booked.
For the return journey all we need to do is travel in groups of 3, so everyone getting a train of their choice will need to find a couple of buddies so that the group discount still applies.

Hello all,
1. North Wood2. Thrales May Day3. Respond!!4. Easter practice5. Day practices
1. Just so you are all aware, I have declined the North Wood Day of Dance, we just didn't have enough definite people and I wasn't getting enough enthusiasm about it to make me think we could scrape something together.
2. As I mentioned last night Thrales have invited us on a joint tour- I can confirm this is May 1st, a Friday night, in Hammersmith. They meet 7.30 to start dancing at 8 as standard, and they seem to crawl from further out back towards the centre (just so people have some idea). I suspect there will be more details later!
3. We have lots of Summer and even Autumn events that we need to reply to- if you haven't already please can you spend 10 minutes going through with your diary and giving a response- maybe is better than no response! I am guilty of this as well but it really does help us out :)

4. With Easter being the weekend before DERT we need to decide when to have a practice that week, please let me know when you are free that week and we can go from there:

5. Can I check that people's availabilty for day rehearsals is still the same?
Please consider the 21st, 22nd, 28th and 29th of March in particular:

Cheers me dears- see most of you on Thursday!

Ken has very kindly phoned the train company re. Prices (please see below).
The rough idea is just over 35 quid for an open return which is pretty good! It gives people a lot of flexibility on getting home but means we're all sorted.
If you have a discount railcard please let me know asap. For example I know sue has one, I suspect some people have young persons..anyway, once wr have numbers they'll take that into consideration too!
Please let me know re. Travel cards asap.
Cheers,
Becky x

Just spoke to First Great Western.
The offer is £36.95 per person without taking into account the discounts for people with some sort of rail card, its also open return tickets so people can return when they want on sunday. This is about the price of people buying an individual ticket to and from Bristol now as prices have gone up slightly. Open return means I can buy a load of tickets and then they'll be valid for everyone to get home when they want.
Is this what people would like or should I buy one way tickets and let everyone buy another ticket for the return home?
I need to know who has a rail card as they take that into account when pricing the journey.
Please get back to me ASAP so prices dont keep creeping up.
Ken

On Monday it was decided that the return journey from DERT is up to each individual.Most trains are about £15 return (if ordered soon) and take just over 3 hours. If enough of you can decide on a return train early enough it might be worth looking into a 3-9 person discount card
Travel to DERT as it stands
