Hello all,
First off thank you for everyone's work on the crawl, I think we did some good dancing and it was great to be out and about together (summer holidays won't beat us!).
Tonight I don't have: Kate, Ffion, Rachel-Anne, Hannorah and Rachel. Jo S I know you said you will be late/possibly not around so just give me a text if you think you won't make it full stop. Is there anyone else I have missed?
I thought Jubilee was looking good on Thursday although I'd like to go through hoops and the spin as hoops went wrong a couple of times and the spin was sometimes a bit under-confident. I know we didn't do Westerhope, a lot of the spaces weren't amazing for it and I know we weren't over-confident with it so we'll give that another go. If possible I'd like to carry on with Piccadilly work although depends a little on who we end up with tonight.
Please consider: The next two weeks will be clog practice - if you don't want to do that it isn't a problem just don't turn up expecting rapper! The week after that is the 21st, a few of us will be in Whitby but there should be plenty of people around to maintain practice. The problem is that Ffion, Katherine, Rachel and I are all away and are the people in the team who have taught in the past. Is there anyone who would feel happy leading practice? It would be great if we could keep the practice going, even if you're just running through the dances and doing some stepping work. Have a think and we'll talk about it tonight, bearing in mind the weekend after is bank holiday it's a long time with no rapper!
See you later,
Becky
Hi everyone
Many thanks to Laura for organising another fab crawl last night and to Becky for her inimitable efficiency in enabling us to dance so successfully.
A big shout out to Martin for stepping in and playing so brilliantly - and while we're on the subject of big shout outs - Wow Paul! What stunning announcements!
Anyway, anyone like to hazard a guess at last night's takings before I reveal all?

Hello all,
First off I totally didn't register that Kate wasn't here next week, even though she told me ages ago. Hannah, could Martin possibly cover?
Second, we've had a few people drop out for tonight so just to confirm these numbers:
Jubilee:
Katherine: 1 and 5
Rachel-Anne: 5
Laura W: 3 and 4
Hannah: 2 and 3
Becky: 1,3 and 4
Jo S: 1 and 2
Jo T: 2
Tommy at end: Sue if you make it, Katherine and Becky
Westerhope:
Katherine: 1,5 and 6
Rachel-Anne: 2 and 6
Laura W: 3 (happy to do this out?)
Hannah: 3
Becky: 2,3,4, 6 (all probably not amazingly but can do ok!)
Jo S: 1
Jo T: 4
Sue: 6 - although I know you're not super confident so might have one of us do it if you're not quite feeling it!
Hope that all makes sense! See you all later 😊
Becky xx
Went for an old faithful crawl in the end! Meeting at the Old Eagle on
Thursday: http://oldeaglepub.co.uk/home-page ready to dance at 7.30pm.
Nearest station Camden Road or Camden Town. Then working our way up towards
Kentish Town station in time for hometime. Old Eagle do Thai food :)

Hi All,
1. Crawls
2. Two New invites!
(link to the sign-up sheet at the bottom...)
1. Crawl on Thursday 27th this week around Camden - details coming soon
from Laura...
August (24th Aug or 7th Sept) crawl looking a bit weak, but still one or
two people to sign-up for this one (Sept date especially). We may have to
cancel, but at least we'll still have a September crawl - 28th - please
sign up :)
2. We have been invited to *Northgate's 'Bath Time'* on 28th October, I
think most people weren't too keen given that we'll be at Dance around the
World Festival on 29th (London) - it's on the sign-up sheet though in case
anyone feels up to a double dance weekend.
*Wimborne Minster Folk Festival 2018!* Wow, that's some forward planning!
(it's in Dorset in case you were wondering...). 8-10 June 2018 - we can
just be there for Sat and Sun (or just one if we prefer) and would get free
entry to ceilidhs/concerts etc. Apparently the person who invited us was
"an instant convert" after seeing a video of us - to what exactly she
doesn't say... Northgate are invited too, but don't let that put you off!
Have a good week, and see most of you on Thursday!
Thanks,
Hannah

Hello all,
Just to check people I definitely don't have tonight are Laura W, Ffion and Rachel. Hannorah i know you can't make the crawl but you were coming tonight - just let me know if that isn't the case. Reesha I got the impression you weren't in a great way after accupuncture - do you think you'll make it? Laura S I've lost track of what week we're on, I think it's Camden tomorrow so will assume you're not coming, let me know if I've got that all wrong!
Plan:
Make sure we're ready for the crawl, going over Jubilee and Westerhope so everyone is happy for those 2 to go out. Also do some work on Piccadilly, if we have the right people I'd like them in those new numbers to try and get to the triangle lock point again. Rachel-Anne that would be with you being 5 so we'll do some nice slow going over first!
Thanks,
Becky
Hi All,
It's been a little quiet on the business front lately, but finally there
are things!
So..
*Crawls*
We have a crawl nest Thursday (27th July) around Camden - more details next
week.
The August crawl is looking like a no-go, so I have put the Thursday either
side of it up on the sign-up sheet. I suspect the September date will be
more likely given several people will be at Whitby for the other one...
Please can you fill in you availability.
September Crawl date now up as well...
*New Sign-ups*
We have been invited to C# festive gathering on Sunday 17th December
between 7 and 9.30pm. It's usually a really busy event and includes choir,
dance, song and storytelling! They would love to have us dance there
(impressed by our May in a Day performance). I know it's a while away, but
could you check your diaries anyway please.
Whilst looking at the sign-up sheet if you could double check any of the
other events on there as well - still a couple of no-replies and maybes
lurking here and there... I'm thinking Dance around the World Festival in
particular...

*Clog:*
The 7th and 14th August will both be clog practices (as decided on Monday),
the lovely Kate (from Camden) is going to teach us a waltz. I will sort
clogs out, but if you have your own you may prefer to use those. The hope
is we can get the dance fairly good in a couple of sessions and then we can
practice on our own.
That's all folks!
Have a good week.
Hannah
Hello all,
Absentees: Kate, Rachel, Laura S and Hannorah. Potentially Reesha all depending. Anyone else?
Numbers allowing I would like to blast through Piccadilly and Westerhope as a general reminder to everyone what they're like. After that I would like to focus on Jubilee, in particular Rachel-Anne at 1 with an idea to try calling? (if not in a dance then try calling from outside of the set? Not a problem if you're not there yet though)
If possible I'd like to have a go from way back when at different numbers in Piccadilly but all depends a bit on who turns up :)
Ta,
Becky
Hello,
I wanted to say a big thank you to you all (but especially to Rachel-anne!)
for Arthur's beautiful quilt! Ken and Becky gave it to us last week when
they visited. Rachel-anne: it's absolutely beautiful and you are super
talented! I wanted to get a picture of him lying on it, but it hasn't
happened yet.
Hope everyone is well and tomorrow's crawl is successful. Hope to see you
all eventually!
Rachel xx
