Hi everyone,
I'm sorry it's been a while, I hope you've all had a great summer. Mr. Bennet, IVFDF's development officer, has asked me if I know anyone who'd be willing to help run dance or music workshops with King's College Folk Society. If you're interested, or know anyone who might be I can put you in touch with their committee.
See you soon,Sinéad
Also, my phone number if you need to get in touch.

Subject: [Tower Ravens] Whitby dance out
Hello all,
Those that are going to Whitby, please see attached for my schedule for Monday.
As you can see, I'm down at Robin Hood's bay during the day. We might be able to squeeze in an hour of dancing after that and before my evening gig.
I'm not sure if the listing here shows the correct order for performances. If it does, it means that I'm on first in the evening. Therefore it may even be better for us to dance out after I've done my evening gig (if I'm allowed to get away). I expect I'd be finished by 9 if I was on first. I'll double check the order for the performances and confirm when I'm on and what time would be best.
Sorry for the vagueness. See you there!

Hi everybody,
I was really hoping to be able to come tonight, but I don't think it's
going to be possible after all (I've been dancing all weekend and am
absolutely shattered).
Very sorry, looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Hello all,
1. AGM dates changed2. London Folk Fayre/ Blackheath 12th Sept3. Sheffield Accomodation and getting there
1. Due to the DERT application period being far shorter than normal we are going to move our AGM from the usual date in November to the 21st September. According to the doodle poll pretty much everyone can make it (apologies Hannah!) so should be a good chance for everyone. If your plans have changed please let me know ASAP in case we have to change the date. If you can't make it but there are points you want to make that is no problem, just let me know your views in advance and we'll make sure they are discussed.
BEFORE the AGM if you could please let me know which category you fall in to out of the below it'd be much appreciated (either by email or in person at practice):
a. definitely want to compete in one of the categories but don't mind which one (please say if you're only attending if you can compete)b. only want to dance in DERT competitionc. only want to dance in the Tradd. only want to dance if in bothe. only want to spectatef. want to bring a spectator with youg. do not want to/will be unable to attend
Similarly if you have any concerns regarding DERT at all please let me know and I will ensure they are included in the AGM discussion.
I will be coming up with a plan for the AGM in the next few weeks, at least a week in advance of the actually meeting anyway. If when you read it you think there is anything else you would like discussing please let me know.
2. The dance spot at the London Folk Fayre is at 6pm 12th September after the day with Blackheath. I'm assuming most people can do both, if you can't please let me know ASAP.
3. I have confirmed the weekend of the 16th-18th October with Sheffield Steel. They seem happy to put us up. At the moment I have the final numbers as 10 (Laura S. we probably need to give them a definite on that if you have moved from a maybe?). I'm double checking that the number is ok. Ffion I know you'd be coming up on the Saturday, is there anyone else unable to travel up on the Friday?Trains look to range from about £30-40 fora return (not inc. railcard) so not too bad. Sue can we consider if this can be subbed at all by the treasury? SS have offered us all the crawl money towards travel but I've said we'd probably only want to take half as they are putting us all up and are the ones inviting us there!Would anyone be driving? and if so can they take anyone else?
Thanks all, see some of you later!
Becky
P.s. Please remember that this is the last practice until 7th September and that there is NO crawl next week.
Hello all,
Quite a bit of business so do give this a read through please!
1. Ceilidh Spot had changed date2. Sheffield Steel weekend3. No crawl this month4. Cancelled practices5. Black Swan Morris day of dance6. Dert
1. The Ceilidh Spot in West Norwood has been cancelled in September and will now be happening October 16th (please fill in the signup sheet if you can make it). I suspect we won't get a team as that now clashes with travel time for people heading to Sheffield to dance with them. Either way please fill in so I know that you've seen and thought about it!

2. Sheffield Steel weekend has had a much better response for the weekend of 17th-18th October so I've emailed SS to say we're free then if it's still ok with them- watch this space for more details.Sadly Nikki isn't available that weekend, we are in the process of trying to figure out something with musicians, if you feel like you want to play that weekend please let me know ASAP. Alternatively Martin (Sallyport/Hannah) thinks he should be able to make it. Or alternatively again SS offered there musicians so we are covered either way.
3. and 4. Due to the high numbers of people away there will be no crawl this month (was scheduled for 27th). Similarly there will be no practice on the 24th, due to tiny numbers, or the 31st as it is a bank holiday.
5. Black Swan Morris (not rapper!) Have invited us to their day of dance on the 3rd October in Carshalton. This is 45 mins from Kings Cross. Northern Line to Balham and then a 15 min train ride. Currently we have very few details as to what the day will involve although I have asked for more info.
6. DERT registrations are now open! Not only is this early for them to open but they close on the 31st of October, this is much earlier than normal and means we won't have the opportunity to discuss anything that much beforehand as normally that all happens at the AGM. I am going to write up a few questions/problems we might have with competing/prepping for DERT in the next few days so that anyone who has a point to raise has an opportunity to do it. If everyone seems reasonably happy we can get on with applying but if it seems we need a more formal discussion we'll schedule that in.DERT is now on the signup sheet so feel free to say a definite yes or no if you've already decided :)--> Interestingly the Trad competition has changed a little and now has a written element where you explain how you're performing and you are judged on the accuracy to your own notation. Currently I'm not sure when this is due but it seems quite an exciting change and should stop problems such as we had re. being docked points for not doing a figure even though we did! Bah.
Sorry that's rather long but should get us through the next few weeks! I'll hopefully have some more information re. Sheffield and Carshalton soon and I'll get the DERT email out as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Becky
Hello all,
Thank you to those who have updated the signup sheet, can I just get everyone to double check the next crawl, the Ceilidh Spot on the 18th and the Sheffield Steel dates as we need to know ASAP and not everyone has replied.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4…
We were chatting about music yesterday- if you are interested in being able to play for us- either in practice or out and about could you please email me. Depending on how many people are interested will depend on how we organise a get together of everyone.
Big smiles as we managed to push all the way through the new dance yesterday! Well done to everyone :)
See you Monday,
Becky xx
Hi guys
As several people are unable to make next weeks practice we are going to
postpone the stepping practice till September/October. I have created a
doodle poll with three dates that provisionally suit Ru, please let me know
which dates you can attend.

Many thanks
