Hi All
I've made a couple of updates to our dates spreadsheet based on discussions at this week's practice. Please can everyone take a look and add any missing details about what they can and can't make it to:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSz…
A few things to be aware of:
1. I've also added in a column to indicate which events are definitely confirmed, i.e. we've definitely got enough people who can dance the right positions to go ahead, based on the following:
Soho crawl: Han does number 5 or Sue confirms she can make it.Rach's wedding: Lindsey dances number 1.Whitby: Janet and/or Jo can make it (Janet's already confirmed, as long as she and Han can sort our camping accommodation).
2. I've added more potential dates for the Berkhamsted Canal Pub Crawl. Can everyone please make it a priority to fill in which dates they can/can't do, as I need to know whether I need to secure pubs or whether we're going to put it on hold for this year.
3. I've added a tab recording the pubs and contact names from Holborn Crawl. I intend to do this for all the other crawls, once I've dug out the lists :-). Nic you've already sent me Camden so I can add that too if you want.
I'm happy to print out the updated version for Monday's practice. All you need to do it add in your details.
Thanks

Hi All, I can now make Whitby and am contacting Hannorah re the possibility of camping as there does not seem to be much accommodation left. If anyone else has other ideas please let us know.
The Thames festival runs from the 6th to 15th Sept.
The organisers are asking for iinfo on the team so which video do we want to send in?
I get the impression there is not room for all groups to be included and those not successful are not contacted. We may be better off going round some pubs a bit further away from the Thames.
I sadly can not make practise next week but will be there the one after. I will bring cakes unless anyone else is keen.

Hi all,
I've heard from Jim again about the swords. They are 27" (not 17" as I said on Thursday) so this must be from end to end, not just the blade part. I measured ours again last night and the short one is 26 and a half inches so Jim's would be half an inch longer. I'll write to him just to confirm the length of the blade part but does anyone have any objections to placing an order for the 27" ones? They're ready now so we'd have them really soon!
Could you let me know in the next couple of days if you have an opinion?
Thanks,
Ffion
Hi All
For those of you who are coming, Thursday's crawl will be in Holborn.
Pubs TBC, but let's meet at 7pm (ready to dance at 7.30pm) at the Shakespeare's Head:

- left out of Holborn and it's right there.
I will aim to get a list of pubs to you in advance of Thursday evening.

Josie - 8
Nic - 20

Hope that helps! (And I should really pay mine...)

Hi All
Tomorrow's crawl is going to be a good one, I've got some lovely pubs lined up with more to confirm tomorrow.
Plus Blackheath Morris are also dancing around the area tomorrow too. Weirdly Sue and I found this out almost simultaneously - Sue from her pals at Blackheath & my from a pub manager!! :-)
They're doing the Rugby Tavern at 7.30 (a tbc for us), The Lamb at 8.30( carpeted inside so not great for us), and The Old Nick at 9.30 (we're in c.8.30). So I don't think there's any fear of us infringing on their patch & hopefully we can catch a bit of them too.
Likely pubs are extremely tentative timings are:
1. 7.00-7.30 meet at Shakespeare's Head (dance TBC):
http://m.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/pubs/shakespeares-head
2. 7.45 Ship Tavern (almost confirmed):
www.theshiptavern.co.uk
3. 8.00/15 The Old Nick:
http://oldnickholborn.co.uk/
8.30 Possibly pop to see Blackheath at The Lamb (optional):
http://www.youngs.co.uk/pub-detail.asp?PubID=421
5. 9.00 The Enterprise:
http://www.the-enterprise.co.uk/contact-us.asp
6. 9.15 Outside The Dolphin (optional, not sure how you all feel about outside):
http://www.fancyapint.com/Pub/london/dolphin-tavern/200
7. 9.40ish The Rugby Tavern (tbc):
http://www.shepherdneame.co.uk/pubs/london/rugby-tavern
8. 10.00 Coco Momo:
http://www.foodandfuel.co.uk/our-cafes/coco-momo-holborn/
9. 10.20 Queens Larder (if not too busy):
http://www.queenslarder.co.uk/
10. 10.30 Friend at Hand:
http://www.taylor-walker.co.uk/pub/friend-at-hand-bloomsbury/c6713/
Please don't be alarmed by the number of pubs & very rough timings, there's a couple of 'TBCs' and a couple of 'optionals' - so we can very much play it by ear.
I reckon, with the weather, the Blackheath Morris coincidence & the general positive vibes I got from the pubs in the area - tomorrow evening's going to be great!
So if anyone was a 'no' or a 'maybe' but thinks they might change your their minds & come - do it - you won't regret it!
Thanks

Hi All
Those who were interested in camping at Tenterden the info is below.
I'm up for indoor camping if
a) they've got space
b) other people are
(£20 for outdoor feels too steep for one night only.)
Please let me know by end of the week if you want to indoor/outdoor camp so I can confirm with Allan. Appreciate you may want to discuss as a team on Monday, which is fine, however as indoor places are limited the longer we leave it the more likely it is that they'll be full up.
Cheers

> I’m afraid we do have to charge a token amount for camping to help fund portable toilets, ground mats for the entrance in case it is wet and the hire of the field. The cost is: Per caravan or camper-van £20.00 Per Tent £18.00. We may still have limited indoor camping available and all we ask is a donation per person to help pay the Scouts for the Hall. Dancing on Sunday is fairly casual from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00. There are various sites and sides move around them throughout the day.

Hi all,
Sorry for the short notice but I'm not going to be able to make it tonight.
I hope that doesn't cause any problems, and I'll be back as usual next week.
Rachel :)
Hi All
I'm not going to be able to make it to practice tonight, but hope its a good one.
Can you let me know if any of you are planning to camp at Tenterden, so I can let the organisers know. We have confirmed ourselves for Sunday, so I'm assuming everyone who said yes to that day can still make it.
Thanks
