Bermondsey street festival

by Ffion Mair Dean

According to the sheet we could have a team of: 1 Lindsey 2 Janet 3 Nic 4 Sinead 5 Sue At the moment there are no extras and no musician. Nikki / Fred, are you available? The only way of having an additional dancer would be if Josie can make it. Would you be happy to do the event if Josie can't make it? I'll see some of Thrales tonight at the Teacups gig so, if we can get a musician, I'll tell them we CAN do the booking unless anyone says I should do otherwise. Ffion x

Can you dance at a paid gig on 21 Sept?

by Ffion Mair Dean

Hi all, Thanks to everyone who came to practice last night - we did some good work on the new dance and got to meet Katherine, our newest member :-) We also got to see some nice new business card designs expertly created by Lindsey. Thrales can't get a team together for the Bermondsey Street festival on Saturday 21 Sept so they've asked if we'd like to do it. It's a paid gig - £70. Afternoon - approx 1 - 5pm. PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR AVAILABILITY ON THE SHEET RIGHT NOW as they need to know soon. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSzM… Other dates issues - 1) please add your availability for the cinqufoil day of dancing. 2) We need to set a date for the AGM. Following on from last year it should be Monday 18 November. We need as many people as possible to be there so we can have a good meeting where everyone's views are taken into account. I've added the date to the spreadsheet. If not many people can commit we can explore other dates. 3) Patrick asked at Thrales' post practice pub outing last night and the general consensus was that it would be ok for us to have our cinquefoil day on 9 Nov as long as we don't got to the same areas as them - Soho in the day time, Southwark in the evening. There are now only 3 more practices until Tenterden. Please try and make all three practices if you're coming to Tenterden (which is most people) - we need to make sure 5 people can get through the new dance! If you've been in a team learning it please try and do some mid week mental practice of how the figures go. I don't know about you but it really helps me when Monday rolls round again. Finally, a reminder that The Foxglove Trio will be playing at this TOMORROW at The Music Box Folk and Acoustic Music Club, Paper Dress Vintage, 114 – 116 Curtain Road, EC2A 3AH. 7.30 – 11pm and I think we’re last. https://www.facebook.com/events/1401558180061613/. I'm also hoping to go to see The Teacups on Thursday at Islington Folk Club if anyone fancies joining me. Ffion x

Re: [Tower Ravens] Can you dance at a paid gig on 21 Sept?

by Ffion Mair Dean

The new dance goes like this: Walk on with swords down Sweep them up one by one Walk round clashing on 2 and 4, swords onto shoulders on 5 and snap down on 8 Single guard starting on next beat Open ring Number 2 ring Lock and walk round twice to display Coach and horses for Mary anne Cramper Lock for nut Fast and loose Choker Open ring for windmills Half a windmill into outward facing ring Lock and walk round into straight line Out There's a version of this in a previous email from a few months ago with video links. If you search one of the figure names in your inbox it will probably come up!
