Hello,
Sorry again, I can't make tonight and next week isn't likely either. I have a lot of deadlines at the moment because I'm taking several autumn semester modules so I've a lot on.
I will be at the agm, and I should be able to return to practice properly after that.

Yep, don't worry, I'll bring a whistle and Laura (who came to the workshop and is interested in coming regularly) is bringing her concertina.
Sorry I haven't replied to your text Rachel - yet to unpack my charger from the weekend so phone's been dead all day!

Fabulous work, Hannorah!
Sorry to put a spanner in the works, however, but if we intend to display the card with the cake, any shade of blue will look naff with all the autumnal shades. I absolutely appreciate that it's in the Ravens' colours. But the theme of the wedding is brown/yellow/orange and particularly GREEN.
If we give the card separately, it is indeed superb, although I do prefer Hannorah's original version. The second one isn't even in Ravens' colours! Tried and failed to experiment with a green background, but now I must get baking. Fast.

It's displaying weirdly on my computer too. I have a feeling it's cos the font you've used isn't on my computer. If you 'save as' a PDF you'll have better luck.
I might have the background a slightly lighter blue as well, cos I think you may have trouble printing that dark with black writing.

Don't think it's displaying properly on my ipad but, grammatically, it should be "if music WERE food".
Sue suggested sending a brown envelope round the team (so no one feel pressure to give a certain amount) which I think is a good suggestion. If we do it next week there's the added benefit that Nikki won't be there to see us doing it!

Also if it makes it easier I can be the person who collects everyone's contributions. Jo I already money from you - because I owe you £10 from Whitby.

Forwarding Sue's costing as she only sent it to me :)
"Not a conversation that I feel comfortable with. I really wanted to do it for a present, but it is working out to be disproportionately expensive; quite frightening! Now I realise why wedding cakes cost so much.
I think it would be a wonderful joint present, but I really don't want to influence everyone unduly.
So far I've spent around £80 on ingredients, cake boards, cardboard boxes and ribbon, but I haven't finished yet. I'm keeping a record of everything. It's going to be around £100 and that doesn't include the 10in cake tin that I still need to buy (all the others I either have already or have borrowed). I could hire it, but I'm very happy to buy one of my own."

Hi all,
To my knowledge Nikki is not planning on paying Sue for the cake ingredients (I'm actually quite surprised you haven't had that conversation already, Sue?), so cake ingredients sound like a good present to me.
If you have any idea regarding what sort of amount it's going to be, Sue, we could work out how much that is each, and if there's extra money for something else as well or not.
I think there should definitely be a card or something to explain, though! Happy to buy something, but if Hannorah's going to make one that sounds even better :)

Only just had a chance to catch up with today's messages, so only just seen this. I would hugely appreciate some help towards the cost of the wedding cake, assuming that Nikki is not intending to contribute. Don't really know; it hasn't been discussed and I don't really know how to ask.
However, I completely understand if you'd prefer to buy her something else. Thank you for offering, Ffion.
I'm not aware that it was discussed this evening; if it was, I missed it. And because I've been at a funeral most of the day, I'm afraid I didn't think about a card, although I do have one here that I could easily have brought.......

Hi AllSorry, I won't be at practice tonight either as I've got late netball game, & as its 1st of the season I don't want to miss it.
I am happy to contribute to the gift. Didn't we talk about all of us contributing towards the cake ingredients if Sue is having to pay for this herself, as it could work out quite expensive for her if not? If we went down this route perhaps we could make a little accompanying card/tag to indicate that that's what we've done. Happy to make one & send to you Sue?
Otherwise happy to gift towards a gift on their wedding list.
Would someone write a message in the main card from me? Something like ''Congratulations Nicky & Ozzie! May your married life together be full of love, happiness & harmony. Love Hannorah xxx'
ThanksH

Hi all,
Could someone please volunteer to buy a wedding card for Nikki and get it signed by people who are there tonight but who aren't coming to the wedding? I'd do it myself but can't be at practice tonight because of a work event.
Also, we need to sort out a team wedding present. I imagine some of you will be buying individually but could you maybe discretely discuss it tonight? If you tell me how many people would like to contribute and roguhtly how much money we'd like to spend I'm happy to look at the list and actually do the purcahsing.
Hope you have fun tonight,

Hi all,
Hope you all had a good weekend and are feeling okay. Here's a short email
events coming up. As always, the sign up sheet can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSz…
Do make sure your column is up to date. Items particularly requiring
attention are listed below:
1. AGM
2. Cinquefoil Crawl
3. SOAS Persian Concert
- - - -
1. AGM
As I'm sure you all know our AGM dates are either 11/11 or 18/11. if you
have a preference for one date over the other, let us know, as else a
decision will be made TONIGHT.
2. CINQUEFOIL
We really need to get back to Cinquefoil about possible dates for a joint
crawl round London - they emailed us ages ago! The proposed set of dates
are 18/01/14, 25/01/14 or 01/02/14. Please sign up and let's get this in
the diary!
3. SOAS CONCERT
We've been asked to dance in the second half of a Persian concert one of
the SOAS guys is putting on. The concert is 7-10pm on 14/12/13, so I'm
guessing we would be on about 9pm. Potential to do other things round this
if there's enough interest.
- - - - - -
We also need sign ups for Mabel Day, Northwood Day of Dance, to pick a date
for our boat trip and to start discussing festivals for nest year (an AGM
item?)
Thanks all, see you later!

Saturday 10th May 2014
We couldn't do this last May. If we are interested next year, it needs to be organised and booked quite soon, ie numbers by 15th November, deposits by 10th December.
It's a great day out in the Surrey/Kent Hills; coach transport between great pubs at places such as Penshurst and Limpsfield Chart, although the exact itinerary changes from year to year. All very pretty and green at a lovely time of year.
However it's mostly morris, so they don't cater for wooden floors. Dancing is outside, although we could always dance indoors if the floor is more suitable.
Northwood blokes are very friendly, welcoming and excellent hosts. There are usually about 6 guest sides.
It starts and finishes near a tram station, accessible from both Croydon stations. Plenty of free parking there.

Hello,
Well done to everyone who danced at Tenterden today. There were some really good dances and it felt good to get the new dance out. I hope you all enjoyed your first festival as a Raven! Patrick took 4 videos - 2 of each dance. I've put the second marquee dance on youtube as a public video and the others unlisted.
Here are the links:

Hope you're all looking forward to the workshop tomorrow. Please remember to get there by 7.15pm so we can have the room set up ready for 7.30.

I'm probably going to drive over in a pair of jeans, and quickly change
into skirt when I was there, so the skirt doesn't crease in the car.
Nic - I live at 47 Whymark Av, right next to turnpike lane station. Leave
here at 9?
Jo - are you making your way to Rachels?

Hi all,
Hope you're looking forward to the workshop on Monday. Please keep inviting friends and spreading the word.
Please remember to arrive by 7.15pm. Here's the plan for the evening:
7.15 - Ravens arrive, sort out the room and bring some water up from the kitchen (if there are any jugs available)
7.30 - Welcome from me and ask about levels of experience, split into groups
7.40 - ravens DERT dance
7.45 - stepping
7.55 - teaching
8.30 - break for cake (Nic and Sue), info on joining the team (mailing list from Nikki, money from Rachel), ravens dance
8.45 - teaching
9.15 - displays
9.30 - pub (and encourage people to join!)
I want to plan to have 3 groups so that we can accommodate 6 - 15 people. If we have fewer than 6 we'll amalgamate the groups. The
groups, assuming everyone can come, will be:
Teacher = Ffion, dancers = 1) Hannorah, 2) x, 3) x, 4) Sinead, 5) Sue
Teacher = Rachel, dancers = 1) Jo, 2) Janet, 3) x, 4) x, 5) Josie
Teacher = Lindsey, dancers = 1) Aisha, 2) x, 3) Nic, 4) x, 5) katherine
We'll try and teach every group these figures, with the option of adding extra DERT dance figures depending on how well it's going:
Walk on, step in 4s, clash
Single guard in 8s
Open ring for glass into haymarket
Moving fixy
Lock
Fourth corner
Outward facing ring and 5 person lock to finish
Does anyone have access to numbered bibs, perhaps from a sports team? These would be useful for marking out numbers when we display the dance. If not we can improvise with paper, a marker pen and safety pins!
See you on Sunday / Monday,
