Hi guys,
So sorry I can't make it tonight, I have managed to catch another cold (stupid boyfriend).
Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year!!

Amazing! Well done everyone :-) a very rocky start but just shows what a bit of determination achieves.
Think sue has some good points to consider re. Points for the new year.
In the mean time I'll see some of you tomorrow. Can people bring festive treat and any cheeky booze treats you fancy? Believe Katherine is providing plastic cups!

Laura S £105Ffion £111.11Sue £120Dan £135Becky £145Laura W £150Rachel £180Hannah £187
We made £200.16 😊😊😊😊😊
Mostly, I think, in the last 3 pubs.
Which begs the questions: is it worth trying (and risk failing) to start at 7.30 in Islington?is there an ideal start time in each individual area we visit?did it make a difference collecting for a charity?
The first pub was very busy at 7pm but by the time we started dancing at 8, many of the punters had left. The pubs were full again by 10pm and the punters' generosity greatly increased. A bit of a dilemma really, because not all of us want to have a late night on a Thursday. I didn't get home until 12.40 as it was.
Could someone please put the amount on Twitter/Facebook if possible? I rashly promised some of the punters that we would publish the amount.
Anyway, well done everyone, including our loyal supporters! It looks as if we can send a nice round £200 to St Mungo's, if everyone agrees that is appropriate. We could also afford to donate a little more if we choose, but that isn't my decision to make. We currently have £1450+ in the bank, including Thursday's collection, but we have DERT accommodation to think about and £35 due to Open Morris next month.
Wishing you all a lovely relaxing break and lots of fun times to come in 2016.

We are covered as a team through our membership of Open Morris.
It is possible to add personal accident cover for £2.50. Would anyone like to do this and, if so, please transfer £2.50 to our bank account and let me know.
Personal Accident Cover
This
is optional and is available to individual members of Morris sides who are
based in the UK and aged between 16 and 70. Open Morris members can obtain this
cover only through UK sides to which they belong. Details at http://www.open-morris.org/insurance.html

Hi All
The one & only Dilke has done a fantastic job of securing pubs for the crawl on Thursday. Laura W also did some great work in her maiden pub-securing outing & helped nail even more pre-practice tonight.
So we have up to 15 establishments either secured or likely. The route will be something like this. The times are very approximate:
1. The Nags Head, Upper St -
meet from 7, 1st at 7.30
2. The York, Islington High Street - 8
3. Steam Passage (if there's room), Upper St - 8.15
4. Radicals & Victuallers (tbc), Upper St 8.30
5. Slug & Lettuce, Upper Street 8.46
6. The Bull, Upper Street 9.00
7. John Salt (tbc), Upper Street 9.15
8. The Taproom Upper Street (tbc) - 9.30
9. Hope & Anchor, Upper Street - 9.45
10. The New Rose, Essex Road 10.00
11. The Old Queens Head, Essex Road 10.15
12. The Kings, Essex Road 10.30
13-16 Possibly The Camden Head, The Winchester, The Wenlock & Essex and even The Vinyard. If we need extras locations.
I know the amount of pubs sounds ambitious, but given it's the week before Xmas we may have to miss some out if they're too crowded.
See you then

Good find Sue. St Mungo's are a very good charity.
Have a fabulous Christmas everyone!
Love Nic xxx

Hi Guys
Here is one suggestion for a homeless charity, although there are almost certainly many more and just as worthy. Haven't had time to scour their website, but I believe they have a scheme whereby you can report (anonymously or not) anyone on the street who you may be worried about; they will send someone to investigate and help.

Hello all,
I meant to send thia on Tuesday and forgot. Next weeks crawl money will be donated to charity. If you would like to select one please come prepped to talk about it on monday/email your suggestions. I think the aim was to avoid member associated charities simply because it either gets very split or people feel let down. The idea was maybe a homeless charity or something to do with the church. All suggestions welcome however!
