Hi everyone,
I've been tasked with creating a scrapbook for Sidmouth. (Will it have a
quilted front cover, you ask? Probably!)
There are some photos in the google drive but not that many, and they only
go as far back as 2014. If anyone has any favourite photos (and
accompanying stories/anecdotes?!) that they want to be included please
email them to me (max 5 so as not to get out of hand).
And founding/early members - Jo, Rachel, Ffion, Sue I'm looking at you - Do
you have the very first photo? I think it would be lovely to include that
if we could. (Or one from the first dance out)
Thanks for your input!

Hi All,
We've been invited to go and do a couple of dances at Martin and Will
Allen's gig as Brown Boots with various spots on 5th June in the Folklore
in Shoreditch. We'd get in free in case anyone was worried about that.
Starts at 1930, exact time for dancing TBC. Will has played box for us on
crawls sometimes
I've added it onto the sign-up sheet, please fill in asap as it isn't all
that far away and we don't have a practice on Monday due to the bank
holiday so I can't ask you in person...

Hello all
Thanks very much to everyone who could make it last night. I know getting somewhere turned into a right mission (apologies for the stress involved!)
I thought everyone did really well, especially ellie teaching! Going forward the plan is to do additional practice before/after rapper times to try and suit as many people as possible. Should anyone get really stuck we'll try and organise something additional/a bit of one on one :-)
Remember, this coming week is bank holiday so there will be no practice!
Please practice the clog, we don't have lots of time together to apply to it so need to individually put the work in as well.
Have a lovely weekend :-) xx
Ok, so I have tried to organise positions for Sidmouth including what you're learning/I'd like you to learn. I haven't made decisions on everyone so if it looks like I've ignored you it's because my brain hasn't got there yet!
If I have anything wrong please let me know. If you know you haven't been allocated a second position to learn for something but want one then let me know. Newish people to Piccadilly I'd rather keep you on one for now as think otherwise it'll go wrong quickly :S
See you tonight, I've brought swords in case we're just ace at the clog.
Thanks,
Becky
Hello all,
Thanks for work tonight. Good progress on piccadilly and Westerhope which we'll continue to get people confident with.
WEDNESDAY is on but we're not sure where yet, as it stands you should receive an email from hannah by 8 tomorrow evening confirming where we'll be. If we can't get a pub, Katherine should be able to get a room in ucl.
Laura if you could investigate community centres in central tomorrow that would also be great as ucl is really only if we're desperate!
Meet at standard 7.30, but ideally ready to dance! Focus will be ellie teaching us basic clog dance. Depending where we get we will also do some sword dancing!
Thanks,
Becky
Hi All,
Firstly thanks all for efforts at both Brockwell and Highams Parks over the
weekend. Have just had an email from Brockwell Park and she loved it
despite the weather being pretty rubbish for us! (and would love to have us
back)
Crawls - the May crawl is off - we just couldn't quite find a day with the
right mix of people to be able to dance out. June is looking very good
though!
Extra Sidmouth Practice - we decided on Monday to have one on 23rd May
(next Wednesday) as there seem to be enough people free for this to happen.
I don't have a confirmed venue as our practice hall haven't got back to me
yet, but please put it in your diaries and I'll let you know on Monday.
In terms of getting to Sidmouth - I will try and sort out some kind of
doodle / thing to help work out who could travel with who and the like and
also look at the options available. However, it may end up just being
easier for everyone to book their own tickets... If so, I will at least
provide some options.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hi All,
Bit later than usual, but never mind...
No practice on Monday due to the Bank Holiday, next practice will be 14th
May.
Our next events are the Brockwell Park May Fete on Saturday 12th May - we
will be dancing between 2 and 4, so will need to be there 1330 latest ready
to go. More info about the day here:
https://www.brockwellgreenhouses.org.uk/event/may-fete-2/
Highams Park on Sunday 13th May, meet by 1130 ready to go, dancing at 12,
1315 and probably 3pm as well. It can take slightly onger than you think it
might to find, so p[lease factor this in. More info here:
https://www.facebook.com/events/224549778104011/
I'll send round more details of these next week.
In the mean time, please take a look at the alternative dates for the May
crawl - currently looking at either 24th May or 7th June (the Thursdays
either side of the original date). At the minute neither is looking
particularly strong, but then we do have a lot of no replies... If you
could fill in asap in case we need to explore other days - would be good to
keep the crawls up so we are on tip top form for Sidmouth.

Enjoy the long weekend!
Thanks,

Hello all,
Plan for the weekend!
Saturday. Please be at Brockhall greenhouses by 1.30 in kit and ready. We have to organise with the other Morris side what we want to do but we'll have either 2 or 3 batches of dancing.
I'm happy to do shouting as an intro but if anyone else wants to do this it'll be much appreciated!

Sunday. Higham Park, please be there in kit and ready by 11.30 (don't make the mistake I did and not realise how long it might take to do the walk!)
The day will contain a couple of sessions of jubilee and Westerhope again.

Again I'm happy to shout but would appreciate anyone else who fancies it (hannah td you're my most likely candidate!)
Please note there will need to be some petticoat sharing. Im assuming it is just Emma who doesn't have one? Anymore and we need to organise now so please message!
Hope that helps, I will be doing my best to dance, apologies if I am a bit pathetic!

Hello all,
I'm sorry this has taken me such a long time. I have been staring at the bit of paper and getting stuck as May looks so hopeless!
For June I have Saturday 23rd:
Me, Ellie, Emma, Katherine, Becky, Anna, Rachel-Anne, Pat and Sue.
For July I have Saturday 14th:
Me, Hannah, Emma, Eleanor, Katherine, Pat, Ffion, Sue, Anna, Rachel, Rachel-Anne
Martin can you confirm if you are available for both?
Laura and Emily - I don't know if you can make one of these? I'm aware you're both trying to fit it in around work so understand if not, just had to go with the majority of people.
MAY - this was a disastor and a half for day practices so I would quite like to try an evening instead. It would be helpful if you could let me know what you would like to get better prepped on for Sidmouth - Anna and Emma the obvious one is Piccadilly (and Rachel-Anne I'd like to build your confidence), Ffion Westerhope. I could do with people learning more positions so that is in my head as well.
--> on Monday please come armed with your diaries so we can try and get a date for the next few weeks. Also anything you would like me to try and prioritise you working on.
Thanks!
Becky
