Hi all,
Don't worry, it was part of the application process. I used the blurb from
last year and the publicity photo taken at Thrales Day.
I guess some of the teams haven't submitted theirs, hence the reminder.

Hey guys,
randomly noticed on the DERT facebook page that they want a blurb and photo submitted by the 13th i.e. this Monday, for the team. This might have already been done but not heard anyone mention it?
Cheers,
Becky
Hi all,
Thanks so much to those of you who filled in your availability for extra
practices for DERT. Assuming we are accepted (should find out for sure in
the next two weeks), the extra practices will be as follows:
1. One or two extra evening practices (Tuesdays or Thursdays) in January.
These will be selected from (14/16/21/23) and will be 7.30-9.30 as per
Mondays. Please sign up or reply to this email asap to let me know which
dates you can do. Practice dates will be set this Friday.
2. 2-6pm on the afternoon of Sunday 9th Feb.
3. Provisionally also 2-6pm on Sunday 16th Feb, if we think we need it.
4. An extra crawl on Thursday 13th Feb.
These will be focussing in detail on the DERT set and DERT reserve set, but
watchers/commenters/critics are very welcome to come along and help too.
Let me know if there are any questions!
Thanks,

It was discovered at Chingford Wassail that the current kit arrangement
doesn't quite protect our modesty when people are sat down in chairs a few
meters away from the performance.
When people have been stood up watching us you can't see anything. So we've
been fine in pubs! (phew).
As demonstrated tonight by our brave flashing tumblers. The tumblers
DEFINITELY need some modesty pants.
At practise we discussed:
a) upping the denier of our tights/little black shorts
b) all wearing the same blue sparkly/glittery/frilly knickers
c) all having our own individual knickers.
It was decided that we would prefer it if people were going too see our
knickers then we were going to make it so people knew that we knew that
they could see our knickers, in all there glory.
Hannorah rallied for 'Knickers' being our thing (star and shadow - Gin,
Mabel Gubbins - Cake). Rachel seconded this by pointing out our calling on
song has the line 'petticoat knickers and legs'.
Therefore, everyone needs to have a think about what their knickers are to
be like. To get you thinking here are some suggestions:

You next practise could you all bring a picture (or that actual thing if
you go hunting in the shops). The rules are:
1) Must contain the 'Raven' bright blue, and can contain black.
2) Must be 'big' knickers. So hot pant, or 40's bathing suit style pants.
No thongs or skinny knickers.
3) You can get some plain black ones and customise with blue
So these are not allow (Hannorah, I'm talking to you... ;-) )
For size reasons: http://www.sequinking.com/opal-purple-sequin-thong-59.html
For colour reasons: http://www.punkyfish.com/union-jack-sequin-shorts-2.html
There are a few worries about sequins catching on the petticoats, so we
should probably trial one glittery number before everyone goes buying them.
Happy hunting, and remember your safe search setting.

Happy birthday!
Hope you've managed to get some sleep over the weekend with all the
excitment.
Are you planning on coming tonight, or are you off a-visiting?
Lindsey
Hi all,
Hope you all had a very merry Christmas and a lovely time off work. I know
I did! Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Chingford Wassail on
Saturday. I'm expecting Becky, Ffion, Hannorah, Jo, Katherine, Lindsey,
Rachel, Sinead, and maybe Josie and Laura F (can you two let us know if
you're planning on coming?).
The wassail starts at 7.30pm and is at Town Mead, Waltham Abbey,
postcode EN9 1DE.
Unfortunately trains aren't running to the closest station due to works.
TfL suggests getting either the National Rail to Chingford and then the
bus, or the central line to Loughton and then the bus. Lindsey or
Hannorah, are either of you planning to drive? Lifts to and from stations
might be a useful thing to organise if so.
I've attached the Chingford directions sheet. Let me know if anybody needs
any more information, otherwise see you all on Saturday!
Happy (nearly) 2014!
Rachel x
