Hi All,
Hopefully you have all sorted travel to Whitby and arranged any kit swaps
by now. We'll have a full on exciting Whitby email next week, so given that
September will come around very quickly once we've come back, we need to
give some attention to our Autumn events. (We're also getting asked about
whether we are going to some of them or not.)
I think Rachel/Laura are trying some coordination on getting the stash to
Whitby for the start of the festival, however if this doesn't quite work
and you need stash, you may need to consider collecting whatever you do
need from Laura's house.
So, *Crawls* - September especially - we need to keep up the momentum to
remain awesome. October, we may decide to rearrange if 31st genuinely is
Brexit Day, but if you could sign up as if it isn't for the time being.
*Bath Time!* (This looks more likely than Dance around the World the day
after, but if you fancy both, please do sign up to that too.) 26th October
- was a lot of fun last time and Northgate are very keen on us going.
*Thrales Day* (8-10 November) - our local friendly team turn 25 this year
and are having a weekend of dance to celebrate. In addition to our usual
Sunday dancing with them, we have been invited out during the day and
evening of the Saturday. (There are also welcome drinks for the teams from
further afield on the Friday night, but if you can't make it it isn't
essential). Please fill yourselves in, and if you can only do one day,
please say this.
Sign-up sheet here as always:

Hi guys,
Thanks to those who could make it last night!
1. What we worked on
2. Ceilidh spot for Whitby
3. Crawls at Whitby
4. Whitby KIT
1. For those who missed it we worked on:
* J: clash, which I will recap next week for those who have missed it
* J: Single guard, relaxed hands, again I'll recap
* J: Hoops, walking around with pace and ensuring turning out on 1 or 5
* J: Spin, stopping neatly
* W: Single guard to make the lock work properly. It's just all about pushing around with pace
* W: triple jump (trying next week with Ellie, Emma, HTD, Tori and Hannorah to see if happy for occasional stints at Whitby
* W: Fastknot, we really need to power through the curlys and this will put us in the right position to lock. It also looks 100% better!
2. Ceilidh spot at Whitby:
Worked out getting lots of people into hoops, out of it and 4th corner, open ring, lock.
--> we need to work on it next week to make sure we're happy with all the movements. I know not everyone is there next week but hoping to have at least 11 people. If you're going to Whitby but won't be there on Monday please let me know. (Not Ffion or Rachel obviously) I'm working through numbers for who will be dancing what and how that will impact on them at the spot.
3. Whitby crawls
Hannah sent round the schedule last week, but essentially Tuesday onwards is a write-off as we have Tues as day off, Wednesday Beck Hole, Thursday fancy dress ceilidh and then Friday collections wouldn't count.
I'm proposing we crawl on Sat/ Sun and then Monday. I know it's close together but seems to be the only time we have.
Monday will also mean we're boosted by Ffion, Hannorah and Pat! However, with Martin not being available until 8-8.30 this would put rather a lot of pressure on Pat!
Considering Martin has other commitments Sunday 5-7 and then will need to eat (or collapse mid-crawl!) I would endorse Saturday.
We will discuss on Monday and go with the majority 🙂
4. Kit
IF YOU DON'T HAVE KIT YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY TO SORT IT OUT. HANNORAH, FFION WILL NEED HER PETTICOAT SO YOU NEED SOMEONE ELSES!
Thanks all,
Becky

Hey Hannah,

with a family friend near Bridlington so if anyone needs a lift and can
make the rest of the journey from Bridlington train station I can help out

Thanks,

Hi All,
Just a brief one on other business..
*Whitby*
Please make sure you have made your travel arrangements. If you need help
with trains Martin and I are happy to help (maybe ask Martin..). Ellie also
has space in her car. Ideally get there on the Friday night as it is a long
way and we are due to start at 1215 which won't give you much time (if you
aren't arriving on Friday and haven't let Becky know yet, please do). I've
attached our current timetable as I know some people are super keen to see
it... but I'll be dealing with this properly after Cambridge - there's a
bit more info to go with it.
Katherine sent around beautiful jellyfish related costume stuff and is
ordering things - we'll put costumes together on Tuesday of Whitby, which
is our day off.
*Post Summer*
Please fill in the sign-up sheet - September and October will come round
pretty quickly after Whitby, so look in particular at crawls; Bath Time;
and Dance Around The World.

Hi folks,
Thanks for a fab Cambridge to those who came along! I'll try to keep people who were there from having to do too much high energy stuff but, as always, please just tell me if you are flagging and need a rest or are raring to go and want to DANCE DANCE DANCE.
Absences: Sue, Ellie, Miriam, Clare anyone else please let me know. If you're at Whitby it's particularly good that you could be there!
7 - clog. I'm going to look at the clog video Hannah sent through (thanks again) and figure out where the stylistic stuff is failing so we can focus on that. We don't have Ellie but I feel like we can fend for ourselves 🙂
7.30 Rapper. More thoughts have happened re. combining two jubilee sets so, if we have enough people, we'll work on this because if we can make something work it'll be amazing! If it all goes wrong we can still defo do double jubilee (lets be honest, everyone loves it).
I also want to look at the clash - definite improvement with work from last week but know some people weren't there and it doesn't feel totally confident. I'd also like to do single guard again to remind everyone of style points and hoops as people aren't turning out at the right time. Westerhope I want to do single guard as we were nowhere near being able to lock, ever.
We also want to feature triple jump in Westerhope so want to work on putting it in the dance (discussed order at Cambridge but need to make it work!). If we simply aren't happy we can do it in time for Whitby this will be the priority for September.
With two weeks left until Whitby there's not a lot of time to prepare so do shout up if there is something you want to work on before then!
Please look at Bath time and Thrales day, maybes please try and move yourself to a yes or no.
