Hello all,
Can I check that I have all of the Chippenham team coming on the 22nd? This will be our only chance to try and do Piccadilly, it depends on rather alot of people managing to do different stuff so I would need us all there.
It might be that we can't do it, which is fine as we have jubilee and westerhope, but still good to have a go!
Hannah will also be sending out a doodle poll re. when we can crawl this month as the normal Thursday is a no-go atm for numbers, please keep an eye out and answer asap!
Thanks,
Becky
Just to add to your rapper doodle polls, here's one for finding out who's free to dance at The Foxglove Trio's album launch and when we might be able to get together to learn the dance https://beta.doodle.com/poll/uf7c2579bz2gkhud

Hi All,
>From the looks of the sign-up sheet, the May crawl is currently a no-go as
we just don't have enough of us. So, we need to look at some other dates,
preferably before Chippenham and preferably with everyone who is going to
Chippenham so we can dance Westerhope out!
Please could you all fill in the doodle below asap, so that we can sort out
a new date. (I'm afraid I've put a week either side of 25th in at the mo
(without Mondays), as I'm slowly realising just how few days we may
actually be able to get a team for... fingers crossed!

Hello all,
Can I just check if there is anyone not coming tonight?
Laura W. I know you can't make it.
Hannorah I know you're cutting down on when you come along, does tonight happen to be a yes?
Laura S. I've lost track of where we are in weeks if you could confirm that'd be ace.
Reesha, hope you're feeling better, if you're not and won't make practice can you let me know?
I will also sent a whatsapp message to try and catch everyone. Reply one way of another!
My plan is to try and do some cross over of Westerhope and Piccadilly to try and give us more options when dancing out but obviously it depends who we have tonight.
Thanks all :)
Becky
P.s. well done for Saturday it sounds like it all went down well despite the minor morning numbers panic!
Hi All,
Sorry about the delay in sending this out - needed to sort a few things out.
So, Saturday we are dancing at the following times:
1245-1300 in Kennedy (at the end of the ceilidh)
1505-1520 in Kennedy (after maypole)
Sue if you need to rush off - don't worry, but if you are able to be there
for the start of the second one that would be great, even if you need to
run away almost immediately (otherwise I'm sure someone can volunteer to do
a bit of shouting at the start/end/middle).
We can practice in either Storrow or the bar from 1100 - I think this
should give us enough time (at least 1hr) to go through things, though
happy to look into some pubs tomorrow if anyone wants that. Hopefully we
can just run through both jubilee and Westerhope a couple of times and get
them tidied back up ready to dance out.
Please make sure kit is tidy and shoes are shiny. It may be worth being in
kit when we arrive, though we do have a green room(!), so I'll leave that
up to you! (Probably sharing with all the other peeps)
Below is the flyer for the day and the timetable so you can see what else
is happening apart from us! If we are able to do any sharing of the flyer
on our social media, they'd appreciate that (but they probably won't
check!).
See most of you on Saturday!
Hannah :)
Thanks everyone for dancing earlier - sounds like they really enjoyed
having us. Thanks especially to Katherine for doing 4 in Westerhope after
like 2 run throughs and Laura for her beautiful clog dance this morning.
Don't forget we have a practice (an actual practice!) on Monday, so see you
all then. As always if you can't make it, please let Becky now. Looking
forward to building on our incredible DERT successes :)
Hope the poorly peoples (Ffion and Reesha) are feeling better.
Hannah :)
Hi All,
Please find the minutes from last Mondays meeting attached. I'm afraid they
are rather long... think I need to work on not trying to write everything
down...
Let me know if anything is correct.
Below is a brief summary/list of action points.
Thanks,
Hannah
Need to organise a Day of Dance at some point...
Piccadilly and Westerhope to stay as they are and get everyone up to speed
on them.
Jubilee - needs some work - concentrated practice. Also look at replacement
figure for Walk-the-dog.
People happy to learn new positions
Need to keep crawling through summer, may need to be a little flexible on
dates to get them in. Possible scratch side, Whitby, Sidmouth - any others?
Have a session on tommy/betty to give (Laura's) Paul and anyone else a go -
Becky to sort with Clive/Vaughan
Open practice - October - advertise in Folk London (Ffion) and anywhere
else?
Flyer - Ffion to create, Laura S to prettify
Music - all to think about other musician that could support Kate as
required. Possibility of Zone 9-er musician statuses
Non-binary person - fine in principal so long as they are happy with
style/kit etc. Maybe they can come to crawl/1st Monday/open practice
whatever suits so they can work out whether they like us!
Organise day sessions for trying out clog and Irish (hard-shoe) dancing
People that already do other dance types, bring things for this to
festivals etc
Hi All,
I meant to add this to the EGM agenda and forgot. Post-DERT, Star and Shadow asked if we would like to join them in Newcastle for a crawl. Obviously it's quite a long way but I thought I'd see if people were interested and then get back to them.
Please fill in the doodle poll with your feelings! Please note the date is just at random - I have to put a date for the poll to work.

Please let me know if you like the idea of going up to Newcastle for a crawl with the Shadows. Obviously it is rather a long way! I've added a maybe option - if you answer maybe please leave a comment so I know why you aren't a definitive yes or no. NB - THE DATE IS MADE UP IT JUST INSISTS I PUT ONE

Hello all,
Please remember as it is bank holiday there is no practice tonight. The next event is this Saturday for may day event at c#.
I know hannah has circulated bits of info and there's probably some more coming to do a bit of warm up? Apologies that it might be a shock to the system after a few weeks. Know you'll rock it!
Shamefully I am unable to make this as I am at a 4 corner practice, which i signed up to before Christmas. On the other hand we're crawling that Saturday night in Kings Cross Euston area if anyone fancies seeing me look bewildered at wearing hoggers and doing a dance I don't really know...
Miss you!
