Hi guys
In order to see if the practices close to Christmas are viable I have set
up a doodle poll. Also, Ru has agreed to come back in January to do a
follow up stepping practice with us so please fill in your availability:

*DERT Practices*
I have put together a doodle poll for day practices. I am hoping to have 2
Picadilly and 1 Westerhope practice:

I know there are a lot of dates but knowing your availability will really
help me to make an informed decision.
Hopefully see you all later

list below what I have. If anyone needs something, or wants to swap what
they have for something of a better fit, let me know. If you message me
before about 7.30am tomorrow then I will bring it with me for tomorrow

crawls/dance outs try to get kit back to me in case it's needed.
Hope I got all these measurements right!

Hello,
I found this video of part of a Piccadilly dance on my ipad so I've uploaded it to youtube as unlisted. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpXmTvR3jmE

Please look at the December crawls as Hannorah is already thinking about organising!
Naming and shaming those who haven't responded:
Hannorah, Janet, Joanna, Laura S, Nikki, Reesha
Any response is better than no response. If you will be a 'maybe' please put one as the preferred date or 'maybe but not likely' or 'probably' so we have a better idea.
Thanks all!

Hello all,
1. Hopefully see lots of you next Thursday for the crawl around Waterloo, Ffion and Janet are busily organising and will send more details nearer the time.
2. Re. the Christmas crawl, I have two dates on the sheet- please fill this in sooner rather than later as there are currently lots of people who haven't replied, if we can't get a team together we'll have to consider Fridays!
3. Saturday April 23rd is St Georges Day, and as we discussed at the AGM we would like to try and hold a day of dance. As a lot of us don't have anywhere for people to stay, and to make the day easier for us we were hoping to invite teams that could go home at the end of the day- at the moment we're considering Northgate and Silverflame.
I know it's rather in advance but if people can tell me their availability for the 23rd then we can feel confident in inviting people to dance!
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4…
Hannorah do you think the pubs on a Saturday afternoon would support multiple teams coming and dancing? We'd probably only have two teams dance at each pub..
Sue just checking you saw the email about Open Morris membership renewal?
Thanks all,
Becky
Hello all,
Very sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to bail again. I've got a work project launch, and it probably is a little unrealistic for me to get there. Sorry about that. Have a great evening.

Hello all,
Thanks for making it a good open practice!
Please note for Mabel Day Nikki can't make it, I know Kate has had herself offered up (by me!) to try and play for us but if anyone else fancies having a go at the same time that'd be great, just let us know.
I have put two dates up for the Christmas crawl, the 10th and the 17th as I know December can be a hellish month for everyone to fit events in, and that people disappear off etc. If you can fill in availability asap we can start looking to oragnise one or the other. Ta!

Hello all,
Sorry to be a nuisance. I've not been feeling very well today, and I wondered whether it would be terribly inconvenient if I miss tonight since I probably won't be very energetic anyway? The only problem is that I brought in two hoodies for Rachel and Hannah. Will you both be around next week for me to give you the hoodies?

Me again,
The band are scheduled to break at 8:30 and they would like us to dance at
the start of the break if possible.
Also, there is a guest list that I can add names to, if you let me know the
names of any extra people you were thinking of bringing I will add them to
the list. I'm sure we'll be able to add people this evening but it might
save some faff.

Hello all:
Please see the venue change details below for Saturday, dancing all seems to be at the same time but this pub opens earlier so if you're feeling bright and breezy you could head down earlier.
If you know of anyone who might be coming but isn't in the team so might not have seen the change of venue please let them know!

Hi All
Don't suppose anyone found my watch last night as you were packing up? It would have been in the big table or surrounding floor area near the door.
I don't seem to have much luck with this watch at rapper! You may remember previously, on a crawl, I put it in Becky's rapper bag thinking it was my bag & went into total panic mode thinking I'd lost it!
I'm confident it will turn up as I know I took it off jus before I started dancing, but if anyone has it, or thinks they saw it please gimme a shout.
Thanks

Thanks for a brilliant practice last night, was so fab to have so many people and I hope everyone feels like they were making good progress :)
1. Weds night 7.30 at the Albert Arms near Waterloo http://www.albertarms.co.uk/ I know some people can't make it until 8 but figure if we aim to get started around 7.30 it gives us the most time. Please try and order food/drink from the room as this ensures we won't then get charged for the room additionally! I think various of us are just heading straight after work :)Please bring music (as sent by Niki)/music stands if you have them although I think Nikki is printing off some copies at work.
2. Friday as the Ceilidh Spot at Heath Street Baptist Church http://www.heathstreet.org/contact/ nearest tube stop is Hampstead. Ceilidh starts 7 so will probably be dancing around 8.30, please try and be ready to go by then. We, and anyone we might like to bring, have free entry to the whole event.
3. Thrales Day on Sunday!!!******Please note their venue has no record of their booking so they are desperately searching for an alternative******The aim is to find somewhere as close as possible so they can literally redirect people on the day if necessary. I will obviously let people know as soon as I hear anything about updated location.
4. Monday is then open practice, Laura S. has very wonderfully made an event on fb so please say you are going and share it with your friends :)
Thanks all and see you soon,
Becky
Dear all
Here is my report for 1/11/14 - 31/10/15. Please disregard the interim report that I prepared for the AGM.
I've also attached the updated list of tour collections.
Congratulations to Hannah, whose estimate of £96.37 plus half a euro for last Thursday's takings was remarkably accurate.
We collected £97.42, 30 euro cents and a ring or washer thingy. Somewhat disappointing compared with £131.91 that we made on our last Holborn crawl, but better than the previous two Holborn outings. But we didn't really have enough people to collect efficiently this time.
Please cast an eye over the financial report and let me know if you spot any inaccuracy. It is very much a summary. I have a detailed document that I can send to anyone who wishes to see it, as well as bank statements from July to October 2015.
Looking forward to seeing you this evening.

Great that you can do Friday. You can (and could I encourage you to) bring
as many guests for free entry as you like.

Sorry I'm not there tonight but have an awesome crawl!
Also please remember to help Sue out as much as possible with collecting, the faster you get out into the crowd the more likely they are to give us something.
See you soon,

Hello,
Are we definitely having an open practice on Monday 9 November? If so it would be good to have some leaflets to give out tomorrow night to anyone who shows a bit of interest in rapper. Laura, if you're busy I'm happy to knock something up and print some at work. It will be very basic though!
