Here's a video of the clog dance I was failing to teach! It's called (or
rather I call it) Ottawa waltz and makes a bit more sense with the music!
The tune is Crested Hen's but I imagine other French Canadian/French tunes
might also work.
Thanks,
Ellie

Hello all,
I still haven't got any further info for Thursday so my intention is to just be at the Scoop for 6.15 ready to dance at 6.30. Please keep an eye out for Ali who will be the only musician!
https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Scoop+at+More+London,+London+SE1+2AA/…
Please arrive in kit for 6.15 then if we need to go anywhere or anything we'll all be there and able to do it. Sorry I can't give you any further info. The current plan is to do one dance and then we have until 7.30 to eat/grab some food ready to start the crawl. If we managed a cheeky extra one then that's a bonus but obviously want people to eat.
Hannah TD warning in advance you'll have to do a lot of 3. My knee has flared up really badly in the last couple of days. If I can get away with not dancing at all I will just be along for the ride 🙂
See you all tomorrow!
Becky
Hi All,
Reminder that there is no practice on Monday, but we do have the Summer by
the River festival which we will be opening followed by the crawl. We will
be dancing at 1830 at the Scoop (it's the amphitheatre bit near Tower
Bridge) - so if you are doing that please be there at 1815 ready to go.
You should hopefully have received a doodle poll from Rachel-Anne looking
at other dates for our Day of Dance, please fill it in asap to help make
sure we can get something in the diary.
Finally, Whitby, I need to get our ticketing info in at the end of May (we
may be able to make some changes later, but it will be a pain), so if
possible can you give confirmations now if different from the below. Clare,
as you have a Chinewrde ticket already, I've left you off for now, but you
are definitely still a Raven! Same goes for you and your Chilts one Will!
Thinking about it, I can't remember how many spare places there were in the
Whitby Ravens House for any of the people that have been added since
Monday... Emma? Am sure we can work something out, and there is camping. I
do need to include anyone that is camping. At the moment, I'm not sure
anyone is? *If you are intending to camp - please let me know ASAP* as I've
lost track of where we are with that.

I have Jo, Miriam and Ali as maybes, I will get tickets on our list for you
all as I don't want anyone missing out.
*Anything that's wrong, with the above list, please let me know asap.*
Have a lovely week.
Thanks,

Hello all,
Absences: Rachel, Jo, Sue, Hannah TD not sure when you get back? (think that's everyone, let me know if not)
Tonight:
Clog - hopefully people who needed it saw the video on whatsapp so are starting to feel a bit more confident with clog. 7-7.30 will be the usual time. Can we confirm when the practice will be tonight, please.
Rapper - practice for next weeks crawl. This coming Monday is bank holiday so there will not be a practice.
Please let me know if I have named any positions you can't dance out without a run-through:
Jubilee
1 Rachel, Emma, Katherine
2 Jo, Tori, HTD, Hannorah
3 Becky, HTD
4 Miriam, Ellie, Hannorah
5 Rachle, Ellie, Katherine
Westerhope
1 Ellie, Becky, Katherine
2 Tori
3 HTD
4 Hannorah, Emma
5 Rachel, Miriam, Emma
6 Miriam, Katherine
Piccadilly would involve Ellie or Rachel dancing and I'm aware we don't have Rachel this week and it has been a while! I'd rather not push her into dancing out without a runthrough after such a long break.
(I'm aware some people can do additional figures but maybe with a runthrough/a lot of brain power. As we have choice we might as well go with what we're best at!) If I've actually missed something let me know. I need to update a spreadsheet now there are so many of us!
On top of this I'd like to keep people running through their new positions for Jubilee and Piccadilly.
Thanks,
Becky
Hi All,
Not really much business this week - but just ahead of Monday:
Whitby we need to give them ticket info by the end of May, technically we
can make adjustments after this, but it will be a bit more of a faff as I
can't just update it myself then. Reminder that partners get a full week
ticket for free, I know a couple of people were wondering if they needed to
pay.
DoD - best day for us looks to be 15th June I believe, so if you haven't
filled out the doodle that's the one to look at. I'll be popping this on
the sign-up sheet shortly as well.
I'm being chased again for Lewes DoD (12th October) - they seem uber keen
to have it all organised already. We have tonnes of maybes and virtually no
yeses, if you happen to be able to be a bit more certain either way that
may help work out whether we can do it or not. I shall do my best to keep
stalling, but we are reaching a point where they will assume we aren't
going at all.
Sign up sheet here, don't forget to sign up to crawls through the Summer as
well - thanks to those that have already done so!

Hello all,
Absences: Clare, Hannorah, Sue, Emma (apologies if there is anyone else that I've forgotten?)
Plan is 7 clog. Hopefully we will have a date settled for the evening practice/can sort that this evening.
7.30 rapper as normal. Now that we are post bank-holidays I think we can try and get back to normal a bit. I believe we have one, maybe two new people coming tonight? If so I will almost certainly need help teaching. I'd like to also continue the Piccadilly work with Hannah TD, Tori and Ellie (Katherine could you do 1 for this?).
If there are really loads of us it might be helpful to have some work on stepping happening as well, even if that ends up being a handful of people - just so people aren't too bored!
Thanks,
Becky
Hi All,
Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend and are looking forward to
more rapper on Monday! We'll also have some new people coming along on
Monday - possibly as many as three!
In the mean time:
*1. May and Festivals*
*2. It's Doodle Time!*
*3. New Invites*
*1. May and Festivals*
30th May crawl & City by the River Festival - we will be doing a spot at
1830 and may have time for a couple of dances before the choir go on at
1845 - so we'll be opening the festival! After that time to hit the pubs...
more details in a couple of weeks.
*Warwick, *hopefully you've all seen my email about tickets - please
respond if you need to. Still lacking in plus one info for the maybes...
and anyone else in the yeses that forgot... I will start chasing in person
if I need to.
We'll also need to do the same for Whitby in the next couple of weeks,
though Whitby partner tickets are free for the week, so I am happier about
making assumptions on these. All the same, please check that you've
mentioned plus ones if you want to bring them as I am not currently capable
of guessing this.
*2. It's Doodle Time!*
DoD - I think most people have now filled in Rachel-Anne's doodle poll for
availability in June, if you haven't please do this asap:
https://doodle.com/poll/qu7fb7z2b7fpx5tqxtatz33v/private?utm_campaign=poll_…
I've put together a doodle poll for a date for clog practice here, this
should cover all Tuesday and Thursday evenings in June except our crawl
night on 27th June. I haven't specified an exact time, we'll worry about
this later, we'll also need to find a venue... which might take a while, so
please fill in asap.
https://doodle.com/poll/kq6d7egk6hn5vxgq
*3. New Invites:*
*Thrales have invited us to their 25th birthday party!* So a whole weekend
of partying this year!
Friday, welcome drinks at 7 in a pub, Saturday pub tour, probably around
Soho during the day and somewhere else in the evening, and finally Sunday a
day of dance finishing at 4 with all the other teams (probably similar to
usual, but a bit bigger!) If you can't make the whole thing, that's ok,
just note on the sign-up sheet which you can do otherwise we'll assume both
days. 8th-10th November
*Mabel Day 1st December* - the usual Christmass-y fun in Oxford.
Sign-up sheet here as always - don't forget to fill in the crawls through
the Summer!

And finally, I'm still waiting on some neckers and pins from Westerhope at
DERT - please bring them in when you can.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hi All,
I will sort an update on business stuff at some point this week, but in the
mean time I need to get back on the Warwick tickets asap. If any of the
below is incorrect (i.e I've managed to miss you or your partner ticket
off...) please let me know by 11pm Thursday 9th May.
I have the following down for definitely coming to Warwick
Hannah N, Martin, Sue, Ellie, Becky & Ken, Ffion, Patrick, Emma, Clare,
Hannah TD, Miriam, Will, Ali.
I have the following still as maybes - I will assume you are coming so that
you don't miss out, but if you could add any partner tickets that would be
appreciated. Rachel in particular, am guessing you would be bringing Dan
and Arthur too - but obviously don't want to go buying tickets that you
might not use...
*Hannorah, Katherine (probably yes), Rachel, Tori, *
In terms of ceilidh spots, to pick up from last Monday, I think we can
easily manage the 10pm Friday one or the Saturday one, but definitely not
the Sunday or Friday at 9pm one.
Thanks,
Hannah
