Hello all,
We've just had an invite for a Walthamstow Folk Festival on the 26th August. I've added it to the sign up sheet, so please indicate your availability.
Thanks,
Laura
Hi All,
As mentioned at the meeting on Monday, we thought we should send an email
to Crook thanking them for an incredible DERT (which I probably should have
already done by now...) - not sure if you already did something Becky when
you asked about our score sheets?
If there is anything in particular that anyone would like mentioned, please
let me know by 8pm Tuesday 2nd.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hi All,
There WILL NOT be a crawl on Thursday as there are no musicians available
that we know of - sorry to disappoint and thank you to everyone for signing
up for it. Hopefully there will be just as many of us for the May one...
though looking at the sheet, we may need to be flexible on the date or
something!
Based on the doodle, there are no other days where we have enough of us
before 6th May, so we shall have to make do with some practice beforehand -
either see if there are a couple of pubs in Camden that are open early, or
see if we can use a room in C# for an hour or so beforehand. Would be good
to brush off those cobwebs before dancing out. (This also has the advantage
of having everyone who is at C# there...)
We now have sets for both Jubilee and Westerhope to fill our slots and we
should be able to join in the day in between. Please find our timetable and
the flyer for the day attached. Our spots will be at 1245 and 1505, so we
should be able to make that work for those of you that need to leave early.
Thanks,
Hannah
PS Minutes coming soon, when I've typed them up.
Due to my "nearly fainting at work" incident earlier, I am not going to be
there tonight, my apologies. If that makes the discussion of introducing
non-binary members difficult then I'm happy to postpone that discussion for
when I'm around.
Have fun!

Hello all,
Please find attached AGM minutes, plus action points for individuals that I've tried to pull out from it, but I'm hoping people have fairly good ideas of what they need to do anyway!
Generally there needs to be a hand over of roles- this includes Hannah having access to the info emails and me handing over any ongoing correspondents/organising. I need to take on a lot of info regarding the dance from Katherine!
Tour organisers- plan out the next couple of months of crawls- where they'll happen and who is organising them. Maybe doodle poll potential dates for the pre-DERT crawls.
Kit- can we confirm if we have Janet's kit? Sinead if you read this does your new timetable allow you to come back? If not are we able to have your kit back until you're around to use it again? -Hannorah to find out the price of making a skirt at her local tailors - Laura S have you any thoughts on Westerhope kit? Have a lot more time at this point
Festivals- Hannah to ask re. Bromyard next year and to look into Chippenham - we can invite ourselves so think it would be a good starting point for us!
Longsword - Hannah to create a doodlepoll of potential dates for a longsword practice. One Saturday/ Sunday to give it a go and then see from there how we do
Ffion to send out an email asking inactive members if they still want to be on the email list, delete as appropriate.
My aim is to get to grips with the dance, discuss with Katherine/Ffion any ideas for how to develop Piccadilly. As well as working on the team performing a double jubilee as aim to do this at the showcase.
Westerhope- Laura S to consider plan for Westerhope - AGM discussion re. having a second Westerhoper who can continue the practice on the alternate weeks you're not there but following your plans of what you'd like to work on in the long term (please try and sort this at this coming weeks practice).
I am away for the next week and a bit so am leaving Katherine/Ffion in charge of next weeks practice (sorry Katherine, no retirement for you!) Also as long as Laura S is around I'd like the team to work on Westerhope.
Thanks all,
Becky
Hello all,
Just a reminder tomorrow is our egm/party! I have cups and plates and napkins all we need is food and drink!
Officers please consider a brief report as well as remembering this is an opportunity to stand down if wanted.
If you aren't able to go to the egm but have points you would like to make please email me/hannah/ the team so we can include your ideas!
See you tomorrow,
Becky x

Hi everyone,
In an ideal world we would have everyone who will be at the May Day thing
in C# on 6th May at the Crawl, we're still looking at a couple of
no-replies for Thursday and also have no musician.
So, could everyone please fill in the attached poll (especially if going on
6th May) asap so we can get a date and a crawl organised. I think it would
be really helpful to have a crawl before this as we don't have any
practices due to the way bank holidays are falling at the mo.
One option, if people are free, could be to crawl on Monday - it's a bank
holiday, so we wouldn't have a practice anyway.
Laura S - if you are able to make 6th May that would be much appreciated as
then we can definitely do Westerhope and Jubilee rather than having to
dance jubilee twice in a row. Will that be possible?

Hello,
I've just uploaded Hannorah's DERT pics and some of my own into this facebook album: https://www.facebook.com/pg/towerravensrapper/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10…. If anyone has any extra they want to add feel free to do so or to send them through to me if you don't have access. I know some people have put up their own albums too, like Kate. If you've done that and TR hasn't shared it on facebook can you send me the link? I haven't tagged people unless it's a solo pic but feel free to tag yourselves if you want to!
Also, here's a video of some of Piccadilly at Katherine and Simon's wedding
https://youtu.be/FjHuw_4Mu7c It's incomplete and very dark so I won't make it public.
See you all next week,

Hi All,
Please find the agenda for the egm on 24th April attached. Let me know if
there is anything that you would like added, or if you are unable to make
it and have things that you would like said please send those through
beforehand.
Thanks,
Hannah
And don't forget the sign-up sheet:

Hi All,
Still buzzing form DERT (and still more photos appearing for me to look
at!) - we were all AWESOME!!
I know we haven't had a practice this week, but there are still some little
admin things to attend to...
Our EGM/Party! will be 24th April - *looks like there are still a few
people who haven't updated the sign-up sheet *- if this could be you, could
you please go and do so, so that we know we have sufficient people to
actually hold the meeting. I'll be sending an agenda around in the next few
days, so if there is anything that you particularly want on it, let me
know, otherwise we can cover it in AOB... Obviously the most important item
will be the party!
Other sign-ups:
6th May - *Laura S* are you free for this one?
21st April - message via facebook asking us if we "would be able to pop by
and give a display of [our] dancing" at a Best of British party at the The
Ship near Bank - I'm assuming this would be in the evening, but don't have
any further info on it. Could people have a look at their diaries asap
please as it isn't all that far away...
Otherwise there are a bunch more crawls on the sheet for your diaries and
the Women's Day of Dance in October which could also do with a few more
replies...
Thanks,
Hannah
