Hi Guys
Please meet at the Alexandra Pub which sits on Clapham High Street on the East Side
The pub is very near Clapham Common Tube Station which is on the Northern line.
We are not dancing at the pub as they wanted us there for 6.30 to 7pm.
If we gather by 7.30 and then walk round the corner that would be good. They do food.
Sorry I am not there on Monday but the boys have organized a surprise for me on my birthday
Cheers
Janet
Hi,
I'm sorry for the late notice, but I'm having a dizzy afternoon so I won't make it to practice tonight. I hope it goes well, and I should still see you on Thursday.

Hello all,
Been playing around again with the TR proto website, and think it's pretty much there now: http://towerravensrapper.tumblr.com/
Rachel - you said something about Dan being able to redirect the towerravens.org.uk url to this website. Could you ask whether he can do that for us please? Thanks in anticipation.
Laura
Hello all,
Thank you for those who helped me update on Monday. If you haven't already please respond to the two possible dates for going to Sheffield. We need to make a decision ASAP. And the same goes for the Ceilidh spot in September :)

Hello all,
I'm not feeling that great, so will be giving tonight a miss - sorry about that.
Janet - I'll email you a copy of the poster when I get home.
Laura
I know some people were struggling to find the map!
See you soon!

Hey Guys,
Please find attached the full timetable and map for Rickmansworth festival in a couple of Saturdays time.
The main thing is being there BY 10.30, after that I imagine we can just tag along. If for any reason you can't make it until later please let Katherine know ASAP. Realistically we can't afford for people to turn up later because we are slim on numbers!
If there is anything you are unsure of please just get in touch :)
Thanks,
Becky
Hello all,
Playing mother and just warning it looks like it might be quite hot tomorrow. I suggest tights that aren't too thick and bringing bottles of water...oh and SUncream!

Hello all,
1. Rickmansworth2. Sheffield Steel Weekend3. Ceilidh Spot in September4. Money
1.Looking forward to seeing some of you on Saturday for the first dance out in what seems like forever! I think everyone was at practice but just to reiterate please get to Rickmansworth in time to be setting off from the hall by 10.30, ideally a little earlier!
2. Sheffield Steel got back to us regarding going for a weekend in Sheffield. Their preferred date is still the weekend 17th October, although they can also do the weekend of 1st November if that meant Nikki could come? I have put both dates on the spreadsheet. Please fill out your availability ASAP, if you have a preferred please state.
They have said their musicians would be happy to play for us as well if it was actually going to stop us going, although if Nikki can't go it would be nice if we could get something else together :)
3. Please can people fill in availability for the Ceilidh Spot 18th September. I'd really like to be able to confirm with Will sooner rather than later!
Lovely link to make it easy here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jm…
4. If, like me, you owe Ravens money you should have received a very comprehensive email from Sue detailing what she has calculated you owe. Obviously if you think there is something incorrect please do let her know, similarly do not feel under pressure to pay back a chunk of money all in one go. I would ask, however, that everyone has been in touch re. amounts and how they are going to pay Sue by practice next week so that she knows how it is all progressing.
Thanks,
Becky xx
Hey all,
If you are going to Rickmansworth next saturday please ensure you are around for tomorrows practice.
As a general note if you cannot make a practice please inform Katherine as the doodlepoll obviously only covers planned absences.
Also Janet we don't have a poster but we'll discuss it at business tomorrow.

Sorry for the late notice but please do not try and get into the church early tonight as there is a meeting going on that the church doesn't want interrupted. It is scheduled to end at 7.15 so it shouldn't be a problem, but be a little wary before charging in!
See you later,
Becky
Hi guys,
Just a heads up, I've caught whatever Ozzy had last week and I'm feeling a
bit shit, so I might not make it to rapper tomorrow. Will update if
anything changes. Sorry to be a pain two weeks in a row

Hi guys
As we no longer have a demonstration set for the new dance I thought it
might be useful to send out the notes. They include a list of figures, a
brief description of the figure, some diagrams from above and timings, as
we performed it at DERT (what we are currently aiming towards).
Also here are some links to videos of the dance:

See you later

P.S. If you find the diagrams confusing please ignore them, it is just the
way in which I visualise the dance.
Hi Everyone
Hope the title hasn't scared you, but I'd be very grateful if you could all do one of the following asap and before 1st July if possible.
We now have an official bank account with HSBC, so you either need to alter your existing standing order for subs, or set up a new one (details below). Our subs cover the cost of the hire of our lovely practice venue, insurance, swords, spare kit and materials and extras such as DERT registration.
We try to keep subs as low as possible and we may decide to alter them at the next AGM, but for the moment, we need to get all our money into the new account, so that we're better able to review our financial position (which should be healthy enough, thanks to some successful crawls in the last couple of years.)
Name: Tower Ravens RapperNew sort code: 40-06-21New account number: 52567121
Please ask for a reference of your name and subs (e.g. Sue subs)
The subs are £12 per calendar month, payable by bank transfer on the 1st of each month. Current students pay a discounted rate of £8 per month.
I have just altered my standing order and it's very simple procedure. Just give the new sort code, account number and reference and you're done. It's equally easy to set up a new standing order with your bank.
Some people owe more for past subs, kit, etc. I shall contact you individually to let you know how much you owe and to discuss how you'd like to pay it.
A few people may be owed money for various expenses and we should soon be in a position to repay this, so let me know if this applies to you. (e.g. Hannorah - blue bags, Ffion - kit and sword bag, Laura - hoodies, Kate - shoe laces etc?) No one should pay for Ravens stuff out of their own pocket because we should have enough money to cover everything.
Thanks everyone

Hello all,
1. France2. Ceilidh Spot added to signups3. Sheffield Steel Weekend4. Crawl5. Rickmansworth
1. Just so everyone knows- I have contacted Northwood to say we can't attend their event in France, as much fun as it would be to make us international it seemed like a lot of money for what seemed to be a morning of dance on not ideal floors.
2. As mentioned before the Ceilidh spot for July is cancelled but we have been invited to do the same thing September 18th at the Portico Gallery (again West Norwood). This is now on the signup sheet so if you could start filling in availability it would be much appreciated!
Laura W I've contacted the guy re. getting you a couple of tickets and I'll let you know once got a response.
3. Sheffield Steel Weekend in October- I have contacted them to say Nikki can't make it to see if they could possibly shift the date. I have said we're happy to try and get people playing if they can't budge though Laura S you were kind of offered up alongside Kate. If this sounds like your worst nightmare please let us know so we can rethink!
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4…
4. We are not having a June crawl, for various reasons it's not quite happened this month but hopefully that gives us some extra time to build up confidence in Westerhope and Circle Dance :)
5. Details for Rickmansworth will hopefully follow soon- for those of you not at practice, we need to be there 10-10.30 and will be dancing in the morning and afternoon. I haven't had times yet but I will let you know asap. For anyone concerned that Nikki isn't there I think Patrick is kindly playing for us.If you are a maybe and know that you can become a yes please let us know as numbers are rather thin on the ground!
Thanks,
Becky
