Hi all,
We've just had an invite through from Silver Flame regarding a possible
crawl on Saturday 21st. It' really short notice, so I'd appreciate lots of
prompt replies! You can reply to this email (Y/N will do) or sign up on
the sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSz…
They say: "Hello! Silver Flame are having a practice weekend in London next
weekend (20-22nd Dec) somewhere in the depths of North London.We usually
try and do a crawl on the Saturday night to try and get some real pub
dancing in and collect a bit of money to cover costs of travel as we are
all so spread out over the country. Would you (we've also messaged Thrales)
be up for joining forces and hitting a few pubs somewhere across the city
for a Christmassy crawl? We appreciate this is short notice but it would be
great to hear from you."
It'd be good to get some indication of numbers before Monday, so I hope to
see lots of replies! I can't do it, as trains home for Christmas are
already booked for Saturday lunchtime.
Full email of invites to follow.
Thanks,
Rachel x
Hi all,
A reminder please to go and sign up on the sheet for your availability
regarding all day practices for DERT. I've had sign ups from Becky, Ffion,
Jo, Lindsey, Sinead and Sue. The rest of you, you know who you are!

It would be good to be able to get these finalised this side of Christmas.
Thanks,

Hi all,
Just a piece of advice about clothing tomorrow for those wanting to attempt tumbling - make sure you wear something that allows you to swing your legs around. If you go for a skirt have a think about what underwear to wear underneath just in case you get stuck half way round ;-)
Looking forward to seeing how many tumblers we have in our midsts. If you don't want to attempt tumbling please come anyway so you can learn to be pillars and we have enough people to practise the dance in another corner of the room.
See you tomorrow!

Hi all,
Just to let you know (or remind you!) that for next week's practice we'll be joining Thrales in Borough. Those who want to can have a go at learning to tumble and for those who don't (or would rather put it off), there will hopefully be dancing space in the corner.
Thrales practise in the basement of the Borough Welsh Congregational Chapel, SE1 0EX. Note that we will be starting at *8pm* and running until *10pm*.

Hi all,
As mentioned earlier, I won't be there tonight. I think I might get out of
work at a reasonable hour (for once!), but then I need to go home and
sleep... I hope to make it to practice soon though. Work is calming down
a bit, and I haven't seen you all in ages! Maybe next week, all being well.
In the meantime...

1. CRAWLS (19 DEC 2013 / 30 JAN 2014)
We've told Folk London we're doing them, so let's make it good! The more
the merrier!
2. WASSAILING WITH CHINGFORD MORRIS (4 JAN 2014)
This is still a little while away (after Christmas!) but I'd love to be
able to reply to say we can come in the next couple of weeks, so please
sign up to that! We've not quite got a side at present, so another couple
of names would be good. It sounds like a lovely little event up in North
London: "there will be dancing, music and eating and drinking from 7.30pm
onwards".
3. NORTHWOOD DAY OF DANCE (10 MAY 2014)
we've told Northwood we're coming, but only just have a side! I have to
give official numbers soon, so if you're thinking of coming to this, please
sign up.
4. NEW: SANDWICH FOLK AND ALE FESTIVAL (11-13 JULY 2014)
"For any new sides being invited, Sandwich is a beautiful small Medieval
town near the coast of SE Kent near the end of the M2. There will be live
music performed in the pubs and on 2 stages. Camping is on a private
site within easy walking distance of the town centre and with good
facilites. It is subsidised 50% by the festival leaving folk to pay just
£5 / large pitch per night. As well as live bands/acts there will be tune
and singalong sessions. Please let me know if your side can make it and
which days they will bwe performing (sat/sun/both)"
Is this something we want to do? We did say more festivals would be fun...
5. CINQUEFOIL / RAVENS DAY OF DANCE (tbc)
Cinquefoil don't have a side for either of the January dates, so we're
postponing this til after DERT. Watch this space for new dates!
- - - - -
That's all from me for now. I hope practice goes well tonight and hope to
see you all soon! Don't forget the sign ups:

Hi all,
Hope those of you who came to Oxford yesterday all got home OK and are recovered from all that dancing. My calves hurt!
I think I've invited most of you to these things on facebook but, just in case I haven't...
This Friday the 6th my folk band, The Foxglove Trio, is playing at The Tiller Flat Folk Club which takes place on The Golden Hinde Ship on Southwark. I won't be the only Raven in action - Laura and her partner Ted will also be doing a set. Doors open at 7pm and music starts at about 8. You can buy tickets in advance if you want to by calling The Golden Hinde. More details here https://www.facebook.com/events/129159717254768/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter…
Next Saturday the 14th Patrick and I are having a pre-Christmas party at our home in Hoddesdon from around 5pm. There will be home made mince pies, mulled wine, sloe gin and more. Although Hoddesdon is outside of London it's not too difficult to get to - take the Victoria line to Tottenham Hale then it's a 13 minute train ride to Broxbourne. If you join the facebook event we'll send more detailed directions closer to the time - https://www.facebook.com/events/577486212320380/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter….
See you later,
Ffion x
