1.50 Euston Flyer, Euston Rd.(Possibly just team. Not staying long)
2.10 O'Neills, Euston Rd. (Possibly just 1 team. Not staying long)
2.30 The Dolphin, Tonbridge St. (both teams)
3.00 The Boot, Cromer St. (Both teams & a bit of a breather)
3.45 Walk or bus to Tottenham Court Rd
4.15 The Court, Tottenham Court Rd (both teams if possible, but not staying long)
4.45 The Fitzrovia Belle, Tottenham Court Rd (both teams if possible. Pause if people want to get a snack from nearby Tesco Express or various eateries)

In order to get a debit card for the team, we need to adapt our current constitution. I've attached the current one and some proposals for amendment with possible changes in red. Could you please read them both carefully and consider any possible ramifications?
NB I need a debit card, ironically, to enable me to pay cash in at a Post Office, since all 3 of my local branches of HSBC have recently closed. It would also be beneficial for occasional use, such as buying an occasional round of drinks or putting money on Oyster cards. At present this has to be done through someone's personal account and then claimed back from the Ravens. I don't mind that in the slightest, but it seems rather more transparent and ethical to do it directly from the Ravens' account.
Cheers

Hello all/Hannorah,
Not sure who, other than Hannorah is going to meet SIlver Flame - if anyone?
The contact numbers are: 07931680796 for Ioan, and 07816977502 for Maddy. Ioan is the main point of contact that I've had.
I've given them mine and Hannorah's numbers but made it clear I won't be there.
See you all on Saturday!

Hi everyone,
Just to say me and Paul have booked a room at the Ramada in Wakefield for
Osset (though we can come over to the campsite to help set up tents :-D)
Also, in case any musicians find it helpful and want to join in playing for
dance outs I've attached the pdfs I saved with the sets for Jubilee,
Piccadilly and a couple of others. Sorry for any mistakes in them, they've
just been copied from thesession.org. Am open to any new tune suggestions
as well!
Kate

After far too much time spent dithering in souvenir shops I have bought a box of London branded cakes & a very tacky little statue of the Tower of London. I hope Silver Flame realise we love them really. :D
See you Saturday,

Hello all!
So, firstly we have confirmed the Spring Festival at Highams Park on Sunday 8th May.
Secondly I have filled the signup sheet with crawls as I've totally ignored them for a while. We've got rather a lot on over the summer but, if we can dance it'd be good to, especially if there are people who can't do the weekend events etc.
Please fill in your availability if you can!

This weekend:
Starting at The Rocket near Euston at 12.30, we have a back room reserved. First dance at 1.15.
The plan is to then wend our way along dancing as much as possible, avoiding football fans, until we collapse around 8 at Pizza Express near Bakerloo.
Any questions give us a buzz!
Ossett Beer Cart- Jo and Laura S. you seemed most keen on a hotel, I'd recommend looking into it sooner rather than later (see previous email for your choices and prices). If anyone else is interested get in touch with them!
NEXT WEEK- next Monday is a character practice where we think about how a second character could interact with the dance. Please have a think as to any points in Picadilly where it would look good/ anything you have seen other characters do.
Ffion Happy Birthday! Yay :)But on a totally different note, is Patrick available to play in Brighton? (Be good to know) AND St Albans are being increasingly difficult, they've gone from saying yes we can dance as a rapper side doing a pub crawl to, no we can't dance in the pubs where music is happening because it's constant and, no we can't dance in other pubs. He's organised one dance spot at pub at 12.30 and then wants us to dance outside with the other teams on flagstones. I know we can do this, but we didn't really want to, and tbh it's not what we agreed to do. Shall we grin and bear it (we don't want to make it difficult for you who are performing!) or do we say no. I'm inclined to say no but don't want it to have any knock on effect on your band so just let us know what you think.
See you on Saturday

Hi all
The plan for tonight is to practice Jubilee and Piccadilly ready for the
weekend and teach Hannorah the new section of Piccadilly.
*18th April- Character workshop*: to discuss ideas for a second character
and an opportunity for anyone to give being a character a go. Also, Kate
can't make this practice so could musicians please bring their instruments?
*25th April- Open Practice!* Please invite anyone you can think of to come
and try rapper, this is the perfect time of year to start. Also if you
haven't been to practice for a while this is a great opportunity to get
back into it :)
>From now on I am planning to send an email at the start of the month with
the plan for what we will be working on each week. Please don't forget to
let me know if you can't come.
See y'all later
Katherine
Hello all,
We have now had confirmation from Brighton Morris (yay) I'm not sure if anyone was thinking of staying, but there isn't any indoor camping, so it would be a case of organising ourselves. I think I'll be whizzing home but don't know how anyone else feels!
New invitation:
The 8th May we have been invited to Highams Park Spring Festival- It is a free event open to all and will be centred around the Ulflag Viking Re-enactment team (ww.ulflag.com), with folk singing, story telling, falconry, craft stalls, beer and cider tents,a hog roast and other food stalls.So rather random, but Highams park is only North of Walthamstow and is accessible on the overground and it's 11-4...and we thought it sounded a cool day, so it's on the signup sheet. Please put availability! I have emailed asking about if there will be suitable floors etc.
