Hello all,
Please see attached flyer to explain what's happening on Saturday:
We're actually dancing around 9.15-9.30 time although he has said not to worry about it too exactly. Although I figure being there for that time shouldn't be too hard!
I've included his message to show how much he has emphasised the team are invited to the whole evening and aren't just there as slaves to entertain. I appreciate that people might not be able to go for the whole thing but it'd be nice if there are some ravens around for most of it in some shape or form.
He's slotted us in for 15 mins but don't think we need to be too exact. We can try and eek out our introductory chatter for both dances and that should be enough.Katherine do you want me to ask Mike if there would be a musician available?
Thanks all,
See you Thursday!
P.s. Laura I'm so sorry I got home and totally forgot the tie thing, I will try tonight. I hope you managed to get to sleep at a half decent hour.

Subject: [TR Committee] Saturday evening
Hi Becky
First of all I just want to thank you and all of the Ravens for coming and dancing at my party. I'm really pleased you agreed to come and I have no doubt that everyone will love what you do. And please consider yourselves part of the party and enjoy the
evening - not just there to do your Rapper.
Attached is a copy of the little informal flyer we're going to hand out to people when they arrive so that everyone has an idea of what to expect. This should tell you what you need to know and the timings should be considered as guidelines only. A few minutes
either way are unimportant so the Ravens can take whatever time you feel like - the times shown were just my guess.
Any problems or questions please come back to me.
Look forward to meeting you on Saturday.
Mike

Hello Becky!
That's a really lovely idea - I will get back to the team and we will have a think about which local charity we could donate it too! I'll let you know :) Thanks!
I'll also ask about photos/videos and send over any we have!

Hi Rebekah,
No problem re. delay, we'd all rather forgotten about it! Since we had such a lovely time we wondered if you might give it to a local charity instead on our behalf? I don't know if there is a standard one you give to or anything. We didn't really think to profit from the day and thought a local one might show our Sheffield appreciation :)
I did wonder if any videos or pictures had come from the day that were any good? Or..even if not good that you might send us? (I have a distinct memory of falling over in the first dance for no apparent reason..)

Hello,
I bought a pair of size 6 shoes but they were a little loose so I bought a pair of 5s. I can't get my feet into them! Is there anyone with size 5ish feet who might need a new pair of shoes sometime soon? I can bring them tomorrow or Monday or try. If I don't hear from anyone by Tuesday I'll send them back.
Katherine, shall I give you my 6s tomorrow to get soled?

Hello all,
Please ignore the disheveled appearance, pasty legs and slippers..The point is this is a black erm 'faux satin'? shirt, i.e. not standard cotton so doesn't get stuck in funny positions from lifting swords up and down and is generally cheaper. It has a full size collar so a tie fits and the whole thing tucks into our skirts ok.
I'll bring the shirt on Thursday for people to see. It isn't massively long but seems ok, potentially pinning each side to the skirt would allow arm movement while preventing it from coming up out the top.
I bought this from Primark and it won't have cost much. It was ages ago, but hopefully we could find something similar if people thought it would do.
The shirts in the more floaty material don't work because the collars are generally too small and I suspect are so light weight you'd struggle to keep them in the skirts and pinning them would tear them apart.
Food for thought,
B xx

Hi all,
For this Thursday's crawl we'll meet at The Crown which is just south of Southwark station on Blackfriars Road - http://www.thecrownpubandgrill.com They do decent pub food. Please be there by 7pm and ready to dance by 7.30pm.
The list of pubs is below. I've got 4 yeses, 3 "if it's not too busy" and 3 waiting to hear back from the manager. If we're unlucky with the maybes there are three pubs near Waterloo we've danced in a few times before which might let us dance on spec - The Windmill, The Wellington and The Hole in the Wall.
Here's the facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/1713618058873441/
See you tomorrow, Ffion x

Hi,
Yes, this is Nic's friend. Thought I'd mentioned it to Katherine a while back. Though I it's probable I dreamt it.
Deb was at the market a while back when it reopened after refurbishment, apparently she got talking to someone about us and passed on our details.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [TR Committee] An invitation
Hello Tower Ravens
We understand from our friends at Enfield Market that one of your side, Deb Borgan, has been looking for an opportunity to dance at the Market Place.
We're dancing there on Saturday morning 30th April, probably two spots at 11.00 and 12.00, and wondered if you can and would like to join us?
Enfield Market was relaunched last summer and has become a vibrant part of Enfield Town. We danced there last year (I forget when!) and we were well received.
It's not a paid appearance I'm afraid, but there might be a drink in it at the nearby Kings Head.
Please let me know if you're interested. If you are I can sort out the details later.
Regards
Jeff
