Hello all,
Absences: Martin, Katherine, Rachel, Jo, Hannorah
But we have Nikki on music and (hopefully) Emily returning to us?? *yay*
Tonight we will be looking at the 2 Park dance outs we have in a couple of weeks as there is no Monday practice next week.
Ffion and Laura can you both make a decision on the Vikings (May 13th) and let me know as makes a difference as to what the focus will be.
The Saturday I have to dance, the Sunday I probably have to dance. This isn't ideal but I will do my best. I'll also have to dance Westerhope today if I have any chance of doing it then. So please bear with me!
In reality this only really needs us to look at Westerhope.
Other things to look at: Hannah TD tumbling for double. Emma, Hannah TD and Anna in with other Piccadillyers (as best we can). Emily and Ellie in Jubilee.
Please consider Bromyard if you haven't already.
Broadstairs - I'll mention again at practice but I think for our sake we'd be better to say no thank you to this as we'll have been at Sidmouth all week, but say we would be interested next year if they were? i.e. not commit but have it on the backburner?
Thanks,
Becky
Hi all,
You are warmly invited to Dan's 40th birthday party* on 23rd June!
We are holding a family friendly afternoon ceilidh 2-5pm with Contra Alt
Delete at the Coombes Community Centre in Royston (postcode SG8 5PT). Tea
and birthday cake will be provided in the interval. Everyone is then
welcome to come back to ours (24 Victoria Crescent, SG8 7AX, 15 minute
walk) for dinner/music making/board games/chat. We will provide dinner,
but please BYOB. Limited indoor camping can be provided on a first come
first serve basis.
We would love to see as many as possible of you there! Please let us know
if you are thinking of coming, using this link
<https://goo.gl/forms/f2qYdp5UbcONS9Rg2>, so we have an idea of numbers.
The more the merrier, so do pass the invite on to others you think we might
know.
Love,
Dan and Rachel
*Arthur will have just turned 1, so we might celebrate him too.
Hi All,
As you may have seen on the Whatsapp we have been invited to Broadstairs
Folk Week 10th-17th August) - for a day/weekend/week whatever we fancy.
This does immediately follow Sidmouth, so it might be that we can only go
for a day (unless you all have more holiday than I do!) would suggest
going on the Sunday (12th August) to give time to get back from Sidmouth
unless anyone is uber keen!
It's 1.5 hrs from St Pancras by train - please specify what you would like
to do when you sign up.

Thanks to Ffion and Katherine for supervising another fun crawl. Fantastic, compact route brilliantly organised, Ffion, in a new area for us. Fab playing by Martin and Patrick too. And great celebratory drinks provided by an enthusiastic punter.
So how much cash did we collect (excluding Jersey currency, card payments and quite an impressive collection of foreign coins last night)?
You can answer any or all of these (some already have):
a) Monday in City
b) Thursday in St. James's Park
c) Total for the week
Have a great weekend, guys.

Hello all,
Due to my knee I won't be coming tomorrow, not only can I not dance but traipsing around and doing lots of standing will make it hurt so I'd rather not when I know you'll be just fine without me 😊
Ffion is leading the crawl and I've asked Katherine to organise who is dancing in each pub, they will both be shouting to leave etc. please do this promptly! These are all of the numbers I have for you dancing out confidently, if any of this is wrong please let Katherine know.
Jubilee
1. Emma, Katherine, Rachel
2. Hannah N, Ffion
3. Hannah N, Laura
4. Laura, Ffion, Ellie
5. Ffion, Katherine, Rachel
Piccadilly
1. Ffion (Emma we just need to get you calling, which I think you will be doing by next crawl!)
2. Laura
3. Hannah
4. Katherine (just about right??)
5. Rachel
Sadly can't do Westerhope with these people yet. If you'd rather just stick to Jubilee rather than Piccadilly that's fine but figure you might as well give it a go with these numbers unless it goes hideously wrong
Believe there is some petticoat sharing but also lots of you so shouldn't be a problem.
Remember more people out collecting each time the more money we make, please bring tankards if you have them and please collect if you're not dancing!
Sorry to miss it, I'll see you on Monday for a more normal practice 😊

Hi All,
Coming up this week - our April crawl will be on Thursday around St James'
Park. Please meet in the Feathers at 7 ready to dance at half past. If you
don't have a petticoat at the mo, don't worry - we can share! (I'll be
bringing swords - note to self...)
As you hopefully saw last week we have been invited to Bromyard Folk
Festival (woo!). Some of you had the opportunity to fill in the sign-up
sheet in the pub yesterday - a pint or two seems a great way to get people
to say yes! If you're worried that you accidentally said no when you meant
yes, please go and check and update as necessary. If the following people
could take a look as well that would be great - seeing as you missed out
yesterday evening: Anna, Emily, Joanna, Hannorah, Rachel-Anne. We'll
confirm details and the like at a later point, for now they would just like
a yes/no from us.
Other things needing your attentions - 22-23 September Basingstoke SetsMad
invite and any crawls that you haven't checked. Looking like we will need
to reschedule the May crawl - so I have put the Thursday's either side of
it on in instead, so please fill these in as well.

Happy Tuesday!
Hannah :)
Hello all,
So hoping you've remembered your kit as we will be dancing at the ship later (details to follow once I've finally got them!).
Absences I have: Hannorah and think that's it.
Thanks,
Becky
Hi there,
Just had it confirmed that we'll be dancing at the ship tomorrow. Please bring kit so that we can dance out. I haven't been told if they want more than one dance, we'd definitely do jubilee though.
Thanks,
Becky x
Hello,
Advance notice that next week's crawl will be around St James's Park area. Please meet at The Feathers which is opposite St James's Park tube station. It's a maybe for dancing at the moment but it's big and does food. As always, please meet at 7 ready to dance at 7.30.
Ffion x
