Hi all,
I know I have some of you on Facebook but wanted to extend an open invite to my birthday celebration on the 11th January (next Saturday).
I am now 30! Bah. Please come and celebrate the fact in the Hercules, just opposite Lambeth station from 7. The kitchens are open until 10 and you can order food there if you want.
Loved ones welcome 😊
Hope to see you then, ravens I'll see you on Monday!

Hi All,
Awesome effort the other day with the crawl, looking forward to hearing how
much we raised!
I've now added all the 2020 crawls and the DERT day practices (should be in
the practice hall, just confirming this)to the sign up sheet. I've filled
in what I can based on the doodle polls for the pre-DERT stuff, but please
do check...
I am expecting the various things that we haven't confirmed or denied to
chase us in the new year, so please do take a look over the sign-up sheet
and update yourselves ready for this. The more we can get sorted online the
less time I'll need to take up of dancing time ☺ If you need anymore info,
let me know - I can always provide a reminder summary sometime (just
avoiding spamming you all now!)
We've had a couple of new invites in the last week:
- Firstly we have been invited to the London Folk Festival on 5th September
in C# House, no timings, but when we've been we've done a few spots in
between things/danced in the bar and then just been able to enjoy the rest
of the festival.
- I am going to turn down Wimborne Minster based on the feedback from
Thrales when they went this year.
- Great Western Morris have also invited us to their 50th Birthday
celebration weekend, however it is the same weekend as Priddy which came in
first, so if we have a team I think we should do Priddy. (Seems to be a
super popular weekend for events!)

Hope you all enjoy the festive season and see you on 6th Jan
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
Massive thanks to everyone who made it out last night, good dancing, good pace, good collecting!
Dates for the diary for next year (sorry I've been slow)
Piccadilly practices: Saturday 8th Feb and Saturday 14th March Will I know you can't make the latter, but assume music won't change much from last year?
Westerhope practice: Saturday 15th Feb This makes it three days in a row for Martin -is this ok?
Please get these in the diary, hopefully no-one's availability has changed.
If I don't speak to you again, have a lovely Christmas! Thanks for all of your hard work this year 🙂

Hiya,
Tomorrow we'll be starting at The Phoenix and there's a table booked for
7pm. It's right behind Denmark Hill station. The pubs after that are -
George Canning
Grove House
The Crooked Well
The Camberwell Arms
Stormbird
(Hermit's Cave - maybe)
(The Tiger - maybe)
The Old Dispensary
(Nags Head - they said yes, but that it would be dead - might not be worth
our while and not a great pub to finish at.)
There are a few pubs with one staff member and huge queues, so a
kitty/drinks buddy would make sense. I'll put all this into a WhatsApp too.
And I'll make a Facebook event, if it hasn't been done already?
That's it! Be there and ready for 7.15 at the latest please! See you
tomorrow.

Hi All,
Just to double check everything before I hit submit on the registration
info, could you take a look at the below and if anything is incorrect let
me know by the end of tomorrow.
The following all have a bed booked in the hotel: Becky, Clare, Ellie L,
Ellie W (+1), Emma H, Emma R, Emma S, Ffion, Fliss, Flo (+1), Hannah N,
Hannah TD, Hannorah, Katherine, Martin, Miriam, Rachel (includes hotel for
all the fam) Rachel-Anne, Sue, Tori, Will
And Laura & Paul (no hotel, plus 2 guests).
A record 27 tickets! (There is only one spare bed now.)
Little reminder while I'm here about the day practice doodle here as well:

Thanks,

Hello all,
Absences: Katherine and Clare, maybe Ellie. Anyone else?
So atm, we won't be able to clog at 7 as I can't get there until gone 7.30 and Ellie isn't sure she'll be there at all. Me and my Mum are having dinner at Harry's bar http://harrys.co.uk/abchurch/ meeting at 5.45. If someone was able to collect the keys (bit weird I know) you could then go ahead and start at 7. Can someone confirm if they're able to do this? It's between monument and cannon street, so not far!
If no-one can do this I will get to the hall for as close to 7.30 as I can - I imagine the choir are performing tonight, so if anyone can get there before 6.50ish, I imagine you might be able to get in via them??
Sorry that's a rubbish start! Just a reminder that the idea is to do half a practice followed by some drinks in the pub. If we're hideously delayed starting we'll go on a bit longer before partying!
These are the dancers I have for Thursday: Emma, Rachel, katherine, Miriam, Rachel-Anne, Hannah N, Emma S, Ellie L, Flo
Can the maybe's confirm if they are coming? Sue, Laura, Tori and Hannorah??
Can you please look at the below numbers and check you're happy pre-practice. Anything you want to run over let me know at the start of practice. Anything I've missed or made up, let me know:
Numbers:
Jubilee:
1 Emma/ Rachel/ Katherine/ Becky
2 Rachel-Anne/ Hannah N
3 Hannah N/ Ellie L (are you happy to dance out, do you have kit!?)/ Becky
4 Emma/ Katherine/ Miriam/ Emma S

Westerhope:
1 Emma/ Rachel/ Katherine/ Becky
2 Rachel-Anne/ Hannah N/ Flo
3 Hannah N/ Becky

5 Emma/ Rachel/ Katherine/ Miriam/ Rachel-Anne
6 Rachel/ Katherine/ Miriam/ Rachel-Anne??
Piccadilly:

Hi guys,
After a long day who doesn't want a DERT announcement?
This year has taken a lot of deliberation, with more and more people joining the team and getting better and better it was really hard to choose. In the end I've played it very safe and would like to stick with last years set but bringing in Ellie W at 4. I've gone for the people who are the most confident at Piccadilly itself and also stepping, as well as the fact they're available.
Westerhope I am still defining but should have it sorted asap - various people said they were or weren't bothered about dancing at DERT so obviously I will prioritise those who were keen. Hopefully you have an idea who you are and I'm sorry it's taking so long.
DIARY TIME Here are the crawl dates which I think work for most people. I've done a mix of separate and together but hopefully this works:
Piccadilly:
16th and 30th Jan, 12th Feb and 27th Feb i.e. combined, 13th March i.e. combined and 26th March.
Westerhope: 13th Feb, 27th Feb i.e. combined, 13th March i.e. combined, 19th March.
I'm aware this isn't that many Westerz crawls but I think it will take more initial work at the beginning, plus Hannah TD (who I'm hoping will 3 again) is off for a couple of weeks at the end of Jan. If ready in time potential myself or Hannah could fill in at 3 to add practices.
Please fill in the day practice asap! As yet no teams are complete for me to make any choices!

See you Monday,
Becky
Hi All,
We're nearly at the end of 2019!
So, Monday 16th we will have half a practice followed by a party!
Thursday 19th is our charity Christmas Crawl - hopefully Hannah TD has some
info from BEAM and Rachel Anne is organising this, mostly likely in
Clapham/ Camberwell.
There will then be no practice until 6th January.
*DERT*
Accommodation, booking is in progress. I'm arranging this for all people
listed as a yes (and any plus 1's) on the sign up sheet (Rachel I have
included a family room for you). There should also be 2 spare beds as well,
based on how I've need to allocate rooms so if we get any more yeses there
will be space.
Becky now has a rough plan for crawl dates, though if you haven't filled in
the crawl doodle, please do so asap.
Becky also sent round the day practice poll on Tuesday, again, please fill
this in asap so we can get these sorted - we need to book the hall or an
alternative venue once we have dates confirmed.

*Sign-ups*
Based on Monday, we can now definitely turn down Towersey - sorry Miriam!
(the only yes)
Once we reach January I am expecting the various unconfirmed invites to
start chasing us - please do try and fill the sign-up sheet out between now
and 6th January so we have a head start on these.
We had an invite to Furness Festival which I will decline as that is the
same weekend as Priddy Folk Festival which is already on the sign-up sheet.

*AOB*
Bath Time expenses - Emma H is part way through this, so if you are
expecting money it will be with you soon.
Open Morris, our team renewal is up soon. there is one person with
individual membership, Emma H is trying to work out who this is, but if it
is you, please let her know and save her the effort. Additionally if you
would like an individual membership, please ask.
Finally, the Foxglove Trio (Ffion) and Brown Boots (Will & Martin) are
playing at Aces & Eights in Tufnell Park on Sunday. Doors 1930.
Have a lovely week.
Hannah
Hello all,
Please fill in the day practice poll asap.

Sorry I've been slower off the mark on this than usual - I've really struggled to decide the teams last year and that was rather time consuming! Yesterday everyone suddenly asked and I've gone into slight panic mode!
The sooner we can get this filled in the sooner we can make decision on when will work best. For those new to the team we try and have two day practices for both piccadilly and westerhope. Saturdays generally mean we can use the hall, which is free. Sunday's get a bit more problematic and can cost us quite a lot!
Thanks,
Becky
Hi all,
Absences: Flo, Hannorah, Rachel, Hannah TD (I think). Will may or may not be turning up...
Clog: 7-7.30 (old clog followed by new clog) Ideally Ellie and/or Tori will be there teaching. I'm not at all comfortable teaching clog!
Rapper 7.30-9.30
Continuing work on Jubilee and Westerhope.
I know people were doing Westerhope work which I managed to miss last week - so if you bear in mind your numbers that's easier for me! Emma if you were able to work with set it would be really helpful.
Piccadilly I'd like to work with Fliss at 1 and Katherine at 5, Hannah N if you can do 2?
I'm going to double check crawl numbers and make sure everyone is happy with what we will be dancing!
Anything specific, please let me know.
Thanks,
Becky
