A discovery during yesterday's car ride - there has in the past been an
official Raven called George! He was resident at the Tower from 1975 to
1986, when he was retired to Wales for attacking and destroying TV aerials!
A special decree was issued about the incident: "On Saturday 13th September
1986, Raven George, enlisted 1975, was posted to the Welsh Mountain Zoo.
Conduct unsatisfactory, service therefore no longer required."
So there you go, Sue. Better watch out!

Hi all,
On a completely un-rapper related note, The Foxglove Trio have a rare London-based gig this week. It's at The Music Box folk an acoustic night which takes place in a vintage clothes shop in Shoreditch. It's a pretty funky venue! There are 4 acts and it only costs £3. We're on 3rd at 9.20 for 30 minutes. The headliners are a band called Patch and the Giant who I think are quite a cool Mumford and Sons-esque band. Doors open 7.30pm. The exact details are on facebook- https://www.facebook.com/events/470043259789435/?ref=5 or on our website - www.thefoxglovetrio.co.uk/gigs.html
Would be lovely if any of you wanted to come along!

I've got hold of some more scores via Patrick via Jake (from Warwick)....
Championship (dancing, music and buzz but excluding character): 3rd!!!!! :-) 4 points behind Red Mum, 5.5 points ahead of Warwick.
Character: 11th! Better than the break dancing man and experienced Jeff Lawson. Only one point behind the crazy Danish man.
Music: 8th (joint with Warwick)!! Higher than our overall place! Better than Martin (Sallyport) and pro musician Damian Barber! Only 9 points less than the winners. Go guitars!!
Buzz: 15th - not amazing but never mind.
Steve Marris (i.e. overall): WE ARE THE 10TH BEST RAPPER TEAM IN THE WORLD!! Just half a point ahead of Warwick (because Jake's Tommy score was so high). Only 6.5 points less than premiership team Gaorsach. 11.5 points higher than ex-premiership team Silver Flame.
Spotlight: 12th - only 1 point less than Gaorsach!
So, again, massive well done everyone!

Photos from Simon Vaughan this morning at the school...
Thanks everyone for an amazing weekend. Looking forward to continuing the celebrations at next week's social!
It appears that, in the glaring sunlight this morning, I confused the murky green of Thrales with the murky green of Gaorsach. This means that Thrales were 5th overall, 4th for dancing, and that we're not nearly as good as Thrales but we ARE nearly as good as Gaorsach. Win win!
Xx
Congratulations, enjoy the rest of the night!

Hi all,
Only one new invite this week:
GODALMING HERITAGE DAYS
"We would like to invite you to come to Godalming in September for a
leisurely afternoon of Morris Dancing as part of Heritage Open Days. There
are plenty of interesting buildings, exhibitions and history walks that can
be enjoyed between dancing spots. Also we will be celebrating the 200th
birthday of the Pepperpot, our old Town Hall. All the dancing will take
place around the town centre and we will be starting around 12.00 and
finishing between 5.00 and 6.00 both days and you are welcome to attend for
any part of or all of one or both days." Several other sides are invited
(including Thrales) and it could be a good chance to socialise?

Please keep the replies coming in, especially regarding the summer

availability. I really want to get lots of this confirmed!
Thanks all. See some of you tonight,
