Hello all,
So hoping you've remembered your kit as we will be dancing at the ship later (details to follow once I've finally got them!).
Absences I have: Hannorah and think that's it.
Thanks,
Becky
Hi there,
Just had it confirmed that we'll be dancing at the ship tomorrow. Please bring kit so that we can dance out. I haven't been told if they want more than one dance, we'd definitely do jubilee though.
Thanks,

Hello,
Advance notice that next week's crawl will be around St James's Park area. Please meet at The Feathers which is opposite St James's Park tube station. It's a maybe for dancing at the moment but it's big and does food. As always, please meet at 7 ready to dance at 7.30.

Hi All,
We have just been invited to Bromyard Folk Festival (6-9th September) off
the back of DERT.
We tried getting an invite for 2017 but never heard back from the person I
messaged, so if you would like to and are able to go, please sign up on the
sign-up sheet. Am sure if we can't quite get a team up this year that we
could ask to go next year or something instead. (I think they usually
consider applications in October)

Hi All,
Thanks for getting the Sidmouth spreadsheet etc. up to date (if you've
missed out filling something in, please let me know asap). I've now added
Sundays to the doodle - those of you that filled it in last night it should
all be on there, though please do check that it is all ok. Everyone else,
if you could take a look and update yourselves please that would be much
appreciated. I've added July 1st onto the poll as well that wasn't there
last night (the joy of trying to guess without actually checking a
calendar!)

Not much this week other than the above. Our next crawl will be next
Thursday - there are a couple of people still sitting in the no-reply box,
if you could move yourselves to Yes/No that would be great so we can decide
what we'll be able to dance out.
Enjoy the summery-ish weather! :)
Thanks,
Hannah

Hello guys,
On a very delayed train. Should be getting in in time to get to practice. But I won't have swords and I might be in a bad mood lol
Laura w is providing keys so no problem there. If I'm not there please can ffion take charge and carry out practice as planned.
Thanks!
Becky
Hello all, bit later than normal (currently on a train from Newcastle). I will see you later unless there are hideous delays!
Absences I have rachel-anne, Hannorah and Rachel. Emily I know you have exams/stuff on at the moment so assume you won't be there?
The plan will be to carry on with piccadilly work, starting from the end figures and then working all the way through. Some details work on jubilee to push forward with ellies confidence and to help us get it stylistically the same with everyone. If possible we'll also look at Westerhope.
See you later!
Becky
Hi All,
Really excited about us going to Sidmouth - it's going to be great! Two
very important things to follow which could do with urgent attention, so
please keep reading all the way to the end :)
At the moment, the events that we are definitely down to do are as follows:
Ceilidh interval spot at the Blackmore Gardens on Tuesday Night
Morris Party Wednesday night
Chance to Meet with Whip the Cat probably Friday lunchtime
If there are any of these that you object to doing, please let Becky know.
Following on from discussions at the EGM, we decided to do some extra
practices to make sure we're all up to speed, which would also include
trying out the clog dance Ellie has in mind. Could you therefore all fill
in the doodle asap so we can get them booked in - we don't necessarily need
to have everyone there and not everyone needs to go to every single one.
For the time being these are Saturday's that we are able to use our
practice hall for. If we need, I'll add Sunday's in at a later date.

Most importantly, if you are going we need to make sure that we have
tickets for you! We will all get a free pass for the week (as we are
dancing the whole week). We may bring one adult spouse/partner each (plus
any children) who will get a pass as well.
Camping is free for team members, and £10 for the week for guests (or £5
for four days). Alternatively if anyone wants to bring a caravan then you
will need to pay £20. If you could all fill in the attached spreadsheet for
yourself (and partner if relevant) by 20th April please (before would be
nice though!) so I can compile everything. Should be an easy job!
In case you're worried the campsite does have hot showers (most of the
time).
Thanks,
Hannah
Hi All,
We're back! I'll email separately about Sidmouth (though there isn't too
much to worry about for the time being on that one). So to keep up momentum
for our exciting Summer of events:
1. New invites
2. Sign-ups needing attention
3. Summary of non-crawl events
1. We have been invited to do a workshop for Basingstoke SetsMad, they've
invited us once or twice before, so we should probably actually go. They
sent us a lovely message congratulating us for DERT and suggested that
there could even be some gin at the thing (there will definitely be
refreshments, sounds as though they will contribute to travel and pay the
Ravens account as well - so what's not to like!). Anyway, it's about 1.5
hours away from Waterloo by train&bus so fairly easy to get to. 22-23
September - we'll do one, so please specify if you have a preference when
signing up. (If you are in a position where you don't want to do Ravens
things two weeks in a row but are free for both this and the thing on 15th,
please give this one preference.)
2. Things needing attention. Crawls, obviously. We have crawls for the next
few months on the list, please sign up as soon as you can - we sometimes
find that some of the summer ones need rescheduling due to people being a
festivals / having holidays etc. so i'ts good to know as soon as we can if
we need to change the date.
Otherwise - the one mentioned above on 22/23 September and 15 September
Folk Dance Southampton. I'll confirm Croydon one way or another shortly.
3. If something says confirmed beside it it is going ahead. Crawls, assume
they are happening, the TBC refers to the location - which will get filled
in as crawl organisers decide where we are going. So, (non-crawl) events
that are definitely confirmed:
12 May Brockwell Park Fete
13 May Highams Park Spring Festival (vikings)
16 June St Albans Festival
8 July Sandwich Folk & Ale
3-10 August Sidmouth!!
2 Sept Faversham Hop Festival

Have a lovely week and see you all soon!
Thanks,
