Hello all!
See you at the Woolpack around 4.30, please text on 07988696321 if you experience any problems and will be dramatically late!
Ideally I want to run through both dances before we head out so be good to have everyone around so as to do that then eat in relaxed way [😊] In particular I think we need to do Piccadilly to ensure we're all happy with the original version!
Please have shiny shoes and clean kit.
Plan for sets currently is (unless I've massively messed up the no.1 situation!):
Jubilee:
1. Rachel
2. Hannah
3. Becky
4. Hannorah
5. Katherine
Piccadilly:
1. Jo
2. Becky
3. Hannah
4. Hannorah
5. Katherine
Also I don't know if anyone want to bring clothes to change into at the wedding, maybe worth bearing in mind?
Ta,
Becky
Hi All,
1. Laura's Wedding!!
2. Northgate Day of Dance
3. Thrales Day
4. DERT
5. Longsword
6. Sign-up sheet
1. Laura's Wedding!! - Plan is to meet at the Woolpack Inn at 1630. For
those catching trains, the 1512 to Chilham arrives at 1617 and then it's a
short walk to the pub. Of those that have bought tickets home - I think
they have both got the 1214 - but one on the fast train and one on the slow
one...
2. Northgate - We'll take the 0902 to BATH - you can get a super-off peak
return which costs £37.30 with a railcard. For anyone driving the meeting
pub is The Bell Inn ~16 minute walk from the station (meeting 11.30 for
dancing at 12). The last pub we will get to for 5 and then all the teams
will dance there. The pub has food.
3. Thrales Day - or Thrales Weekend I should say. If you have any dietary
requirements please let me know.
4. DERT - I need to know for definite who is intending to come so that we
can get accomodation booked (already some places are selling out) If you
haven't put your name on the DERT spreadsheet to say whether you are coming
or not, please do so (or you can email me if you prefer). Also if you would
like to bring a spectator then could you mention that as well please?

Glad to hear you are on the mend Roseanna - would you like to come to DERT
with us? (It'll be awesome!)
5. Longsword - Probably going to be 11th December, just trying to get a
room booked and will then confirm it.
6. I've added Mabel's Day to the sign-up sheet just in case. We have also
been invited by Silver Flame to a dance out with them and Earlsdon in
Stratford on Avon (not the Stratford at the end of the jubilee line like I
previously thought...)

Hi All,
1. Laura's Wedding!!
2. Northgate Day of Dance
3. Thrales Day
4. DERT
5. Longsword
1. Laura's Wedding - if you haven't booked a train ticket and need to book
one (not to self), we are getting the 1512 to arrive in Chilham at 1617. If
you are driving down, then we shall meet you in the Woolpack at 1630. This
should give us plenty of time to sort ourselves out, ready to do our
mini-crawl finishing with a dance (or two?) at the wedding itself!
2. Northgate - Trains will be the 0902 to BATH, which will arrive at 1039
(This does mean we'll be early, but the other option is being late...) The
meeting pub is The Bell Inn ~16 minute walk from the station (meeting 11.30
for dancing at 12) for anyone driving to meet us there. The last pub we
will get to for 5 and then all the teams will dance there. The pub has food.
3. Thrales Day - or Thrales Weekend I should say. Becky has mostly covered
this already - I've added some extra info to the sign-up sheet and will
provide further details closer to the time. There is a buffet on the
Saturday, so could you let me know if you have any dietary requirements?
4. DERT - I need to know for definite who is intending to come so that we
can get accomodation booked (already some places are selling out) If you
haven't put your name on the DERT spreadsheet to say whether you are coming
or not, please do so (or you can email me if you prefer). Also if you would
like to bring a spectator then could you mention that as well please?
The doodle poll for practices can be found here: http://doodle.com/poll/

5. Longsword - I've added these onto the practice sheet. I think
realistically we are looking at an afternoon slot on 20th November or 11th
December. If you are interested in doing Longsword and haven't yet put your
name down anywhere then here is the place to do it. I've put down
everyone's availability who replied to one of the polls (apologies if there
are any mistakes). I'll look into venues and then we can finalise the
day/time.

Hello all,
First off thanks so much for everyone's hard work and patience with working on new figures in piccadilly. I know it's rather longwinded and means some people aren't getting to dance much. My plan is that as soon as we get the changes walked through and decided upon we can then get everyone learning them. There's no point trying to learn piccadilly if we're about to fix it! Anyway all help in walk-through, teaching, supporting through watching and commenting is really appreciated!
Hope everyone enjoyed double jubilee as much as I did. Hopefully we'll keep having enough numbers to do this and then we can be comfortable with it for dert showcase.
Beadnell for thales day, as mentioned some of us drunkenly came up with modern interpretive Beadnell. Or something like that! No swords no stepping...it'll be very silly but hopefully work. People I have interested are I think the following: me, Katherine, jo, hannah, laura w., ffion. Is there anyone else? Obviously we only need five people but as we're going to need to work it outside of practice extras will be helpful. If anyone else is interested let me know!
Thanks to everyone who has filled in the doodle poll re. Pre dert practices. If you haven't done so already please do asap so we can start making plans!
Thanks,
Becky

Hello all,
Kate won't be around this Monday so if anyone willing can bring an instrument that'd be much appreciated (Ffion this might have to be you as Hannah is away- anyone esle??).
The plan is (hopefully) to work on some new stuff again so shouldn't mean the person is stuck playing all the time.
My brain is melted, not sure if it's jetlag or over exposure to American life! I will try my best on monday but please bear with me, I've had zero thinking time and will only have Sunday to do so as I'm away again.
See you on Monday.
Becky xx
Hello all,
First of all I know you probably think I'm mad for wanting to get this sorted so early but it's a total nightmare getting people together for DERT and I'd like to know as soon as possible who is available and when. If you feel like you want to compete in any way you need to fill this in!
http://doodle.com/poll/pg2h9s2fx6vezd8p
I know it looks like a lot of dates but if you can fill them in as best as possible that'd be great. I haven't included the 1st and 2nd of April because certainly I will be at Katherine's wedding as well as anyone else who is invited/dancing *cough fill in the signup sheet cough*
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4…
As a warning Hannah will begin hounding people for definites on applications and accommodation for DERT soon. I am going off the sheet from the AGM where everyone said they wanted to go- small details being:
Rachel-Anne only wanted to be a spectator
Kate wanted to bring Paul
Roseanna I don't know if you'd like to attend, and obviously Jo only started last week so I also don't know.
If you think you might change your mind, or want to bring someone, or anything like that, please let Hannah know.
Thanks,
Becky

To be confirmed with the church once we have some clear dates, please sign up if you want to be competing in DERT in any capacity i.e. Main, Spotlight, Westerhope. once I have all the info I can narrow down what days would be best for what.
Have no fears, laura s has ensured we can still go :-D
Big thank you! Please feel free to organise tickets, contact Sue to get money back.
Ken is emailing thales re. A discount group ticket as we have ffion (possibly laura) who would benefit from this. Which isn't enough people.
Please note all train fairs are being refunded, however these have to be advanced fairs, I.e. You won't be given the money for a late bought expensive ticket. And soz we won't pay for you to go first class :-p
See you Monday. My aim is to get those going to laura ws wedding organised so we feel confident dancing. Also to push through the changes we have been figuring out. New people to get increasingly confident at jubilee with help from the rest of us.
Thanks,
Becky

Hi All,
1. Northgate DoD
2. Crawl
3. Laura's Wedding!
4. Longsword
5. Shoes
1. There is a chance that we may now not have a team to do this, so
please *don't
buy your ticket yet*, just in case.
2. We've cancelled this given the proximity to weddings and Northgate (plus
there were only 3 people who said they were free).
3. We'll be getting the 15.12 to Chilham (should arrive at 16.17) - the
plan being to have a chilled out meal, then a mini-crawl and the actual
dance at the wedding. Not yet sure what time we'll need to leave if staying
over.
4. Longsword. The likely days are 20th November, 4th December, 11th
December. If you haven't yet signed up and would like to join in, I've left
the poll open. (Those who told me their availability on Monday / changes
have been added.
5. I realise I promised to send a link to where I bought my shoes a couple
of weeks ago... sorry for forgetting until now!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Mens-Black-Leather-Oxford-Cadet-Parade-Capped…
Might be worth trying some on before buying so you know which size to get.
I think Ffion and me both have the newer ones. They'll also need to have an
extra sole put on the bottom.
Have a good week!
Hannah
