Date: Thu, Apr 9, 2015 16:57 Oh bloomin' good spot Sinéad. Apologies all - please see amended version attached. Reckon we should leave the hostel c.9.45 just to give ourselves plenty of time to get there and get sorted pre-warm up.

One thing though, the warm up timings are here: http://www.dert2015.co.uk/attention-sil-vous-plait-dert-2015-warm-up-timing… It looks like we need to be at the Beer Emporium by 10.20 ish, if the warm up slots are 10-10.30. It means we should see plenty of the competition and/or have time to dance in a non-DERT pub or two. See you tomorrow!

Hoodies

by Laura Smyth

Hello all, Just to let you know that I picked up the hoodies yesterday - huzzah! Attempt 2 is definitely better than the first attempt. As you all probably know, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. The colour match isn't as good as I would have liked, but there isn't much I can do about that now. Sincere apologies. Also, as you are probably aware, this job was rushed through by my friend Faye yesterday. Whilst the print is fine and dry, she didn't get chance to "bake" it. This means that the inks are not yet colour-fast and therefore shouldn't be washed in the washing machine yet. Ways to make the ink colour-fast includes either ironing or baking in the oven. I will get back to everyone with further instructions on how to do this properly so it doesn't ruin the print. Again, apologies for all this faff. The whole process has caused me no end of stress. I hope everyone else is happy with the hoodies. See you all later! L x

Best Wishes from the States

by Anna Blachman

Hello all! I miss you all to bits and I'm so glad to stay updated on the fun things going on with the team. I've been watching all the videos and you guys look amazing! I am sure you guys will kick some serious butt at DERT and I will be glued to my computer all day on Saturday to hear the results. I'm so glad that I had the chance to dance with the team for a few months and I'm always looking for a reason to come back. Once a raven always a raven, Anna xx

Contacts take 2

by Becky Such

Ok so apparently copying and pasting from a google drive excel spreadsheet into an actual excel spreadsheet causes madness. Hopefully this version on Word will be better! Thanks for people who spotted the wacky nature of numbers, please let me know if this has done anything weird too! Thanks all! Becky xx

Go ravens!

by Ffion Mair

Hi all, Just to say well done on tonight's practice. Both dances are looking really slick and energetic and the music and stepping is all sounding really crisp. I'm very impressed with the work everyone has put in to making this happen and I really hope the judges are just as impressed with the outcome! Regardless of how well we do in the competitions I think we're going to make a really good impression on the rapper world - we're going to be a massive team who look great and have a fun time together. What more could you ask for?! See you at Paddington/in Bristol! Ffion x

DERT and next few weeks

by Becky Such

Hello all, So tonight is the last practice before DERT eeeep! So looking forward to seeing you there. In case you can't make it/you need it in writing I thought I would confirm one last time the following details: 1. Trains2. Where to go in Bristol if you're not with the group3. Plans for after DERT4. What to bring for DERT 1. Those getting the group train: 13.28 from Paddington, please get there as close to 1 as possible! 2. If you are travelling separate from the group these are the places to aim for: Accommodation: Homestay Bristol, 68 Queens Road, BS8 1QU. This can be travelled to on the 8/9 bus from the station/get a taxi Welcome venue, which is much closer to the station so some people might want to go straight there:Broad Plain Boys Club, Clement Street, BS2 9ES This starts at 6 but I assumed we'd get there a little later than that- watch this space :) 3. The Monday after DERT (13th) we are having off to give our feet a rest. The following Monday (20th) we will be in the hall as usual but having our EGM and a bit of a party to celebrate all our hard work. Last time we all brought some snacks/drink and it was a really nice evening. There isn't that much to cover at the EGM, mostly it will involve yes/no responses rather than major discussion. Please find attached the plan for the EGM, if there is anything you would like discussing please let me know and I can add it to the agenda. If for any reason you can't make the EGM but feel there is something you want to discuss/strongly have an opinion on, please email me and I will make sure your points are raised.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come with your diary's, if nothing else I will be hounding people for responses on upcoming invites. After that it will be practice as usual! 4. Please remember for the weekend you need: kit! Nicely ironed and clean. This includes polished shoes, sports bra, bobbles etc for hair. There are NO towels provided at the accommodation. Thanks all- see most of you later. Becky xx
