Hi All,
This weekend we will be dancing at Cambridge Folk Festival. If you'd like
to know more about the line-up/please look at the website here:
https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/folk-festival
<https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/folk-festival>
The Cambridge Folk Festival | Cambridge Live
<https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/folk-festival>
The Cambridge Folk Festival is one of the premier music events in Europe
and one of the longest running and most famous folk festivals in the world.
www.cambridgelive.org.uk
*Getting there* - there are lots of trains to Cambridge, either from Kings
Cross (~1hr and I think it was £33.15 railcard return) or Liverpool St
(slightly cheaper but takes 1hr 30, costs £25.55 railcard return I think),
so take your pick on what suits you best. If you haven't already let Becky
know whether you are arriving on Friday evening or Saturday morning please
let her know. 🚂 *From the station you will need to get to the campsite at
Coldhams Common, this is NOT the same as the festival site.*
I've forwarded your* production passes which you need to print*, the
official line is that you need a printed version to get on site and one on
your phone to get your artist pass (your artist pass will also let us
access the Green Room for comfy chairs!). We have camping at Coldhams
Common - you will need your artist pass that I forwarded earlier to get
onto the site. If you are bringing a vehicle (think that is just Clare and
Will) then they have your vehicle passes there too, you'll just need to
show your artist pass parking is at Netherhall Upper School. Loads of info
on arriving in the attached - please read it. There is a free bus between
the festival and camp sites, not sure of the frequency, but they run
between 9am and 1am.
*Becky is going to try and collect all of the artist passes on Friday so
she can just hand the wristbands out on people's arrival. She'll whatsapp
to confirm but please do factor in times to get them.*
If you are arriving on Saturday please make sure you are there in time to
have set yourself up on the campsite and made it over to the festival site
at Cherry Hinton in good time to start dancing.
*Dancing* 💃- at the moment we are down to do the following spots on
Saturday (and Sunday, but should get confirmation of the later one being
earlier in the day soon...)
1200-1220; 1330-1350; 1530-1550; and 1830-1850
We may need to be slightly flexible with these as we are filling the gap
between acts on the main stage, so may need to be prepared to stop a couple
of minutes early.
We will then crawl in the evening on Saturday - thanks to Rachel/Hannah TD
for hunting down pubs for this.
*Other stuff:*
BYOB - there is alcohol on site but pretty expensive. No glass is allowed
in the arena.
Please bring your tankard with you if you have it so we can collect on
Saturday night.
Cambridge are going plastic free for this, so please bring your reusable
water bottles/coffee cups.
Hopefully that should cover everything, any questions let me know, and I'll
update on timings as soon as I have more information.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hello all,
You should have had your passes (which you need to print) through from Hannah and she is sending through a more general info email re. Cambridge.
Mainly for the benefit of Hannorah and Rachel who missed last night, we worked on neatening some figures which looked a bit untidy at Warwick, so just to emphasise.
1. Clash - Holding the brass with thumb on one side and finger round the back i.e. BOTH sides. Holding sword flat face on to you and doing the movement neat and small, moving the hand away ever so slightly as clash ensuring the clash remains high. We worked on this because the clashes have been sloppy, but also no. 3 got hit on the head quite a lot (one of my bumps still hurts!)
2. single guard - paced walk around, with energy. Sword hands together of the person turning out to try and keep them flat. Pivots in the middle keeping their hands centred and in the middle of the walkaround. Tension should be relatively loose to keep swords flat
3. Back 8 - Hands together, not ducking and trying to keep the movement smooth. Staying close to the moving set and flicking at front and back
4. Open ring post back 8 - no. 3 getting there in 4 (2 must ensure she has space to get round)
5. Westerhope back lock - remember timings and if you're shorter (sorry Clare!) really reaching up high, making sure nice and close to the rest of the set
***Please note all Jubilee and Piccadilly will just be 5 person versions***
I also did a bit of a moan about actually getting on with things when I ask you to. Most importantly leaving pubs but also getting up and dancing!
Looking forward to this weekend!
Becky xx
Hi All,
Below should be a lot of emails which are all identical, but addressed to
each person that is going to Cambridge -with a separate Artist pass for
each of you. More info coming soon, just making sure I don't forget this
one!
Thanks,
Hannah

Hello all,
Absences: Miriam, sue, Emma, Rachel and Ellie will be there but probably won't dance.
Anyone else please let me know.
Clog: we're going to need this for Cambridge so want to check who is happy with it. Thought it might be worth Ellie watching to see if all seems ok!
Rapper: again, prepping for Cambridge. If you were at Warwick I'm going to rest you as much as possible. Let me know if you need a break and I will do my best.
Note that Simon most likely won't come in the set (he isn't able to come to practice so most likely won't want to) so we'll run through the endings to make sure we're happy.
I'm looking at numbers for Whitby ceilidh spot and will run through this tonight. I also got some handy info on Cambridge so will fill people in.
Thanks,
Becky xx

Hi all
We have been discussing going as a jelly fish swarm as our fancy dress for
Whitby. I've attached some pictures of examples for reference.
I am thinking of a skirt (and possibly something around the shoulders) as
the arms (tentacles). Then either a padded and covered sombrero or an
umbrella as the head, decorated with lights tendrils and tentacles. Then
maybe some face paint too.
Key questions are:
Do we want to make them in Ravens colours? Or maybe different colours?
Do we want to wear hats or hold umbrellas? I did a quick costing and there
isn't much in it in terms of one being cheaper.
If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know! We will discuss in
more detail at practice :-)
See you later!
Katherine 👾
Hi Ravens
Please fill in this form with your kit choices and sizes *by end of
practice MONDAY*:
https://forms.gle/zSLERoMHXGjuEiqv8
Please can you all look at this even if you don't want kit as it has a poll
about image preference for new business cards at the end too (just skip the
kit questions). Thanks Rachel Anne for digging out and cleaning up these
images.
I need kit choices this by end of practice *MONDAY 29th JULY,* otherwise we
run the risk not having it in time for Whitby. Prices will depend on final
numbers, but roughly £30 for a hoody and £20 for a t shirt. if you have any
questions email me, whatsapp me, or talk to me on Monday night.
Please also forward link onto anyone you know needs a hoody who might not
be on this list. Ozzy??
Hope you have a great weekend
L xxxx
Hi All,
It's nearly here! 🍸
So, a quick summary of what we're doing. Please note *we will be having a
practice on Monday* to do any last bits of prep for Cambridge.
One final aside before the excitement of the week, if you have any*
fabulous ideas for our Friday LNE ceilidh spot at Whitby,* please pass them
onto Becky and *don't forget to sign up to things in the Autumn*, it'll
reach us sooner than we think.🍁
But first, the weather at the mo suggests that there might be some showers
on Saturday, though it has been changing a bit over the last couple of
days, so keep an eye and come prepared! If you have a Ravens hoody, might
be worth bringing at least for the evenings. Don't forget your shoe polish
and I think everyone should now be all sorted for kit for Warwick - Clare:
Emma took a petticoat and a sash from Fliss, and she also has a petticoat
for you Ffion. If there are any outstanding kit requirements, please sort
yourselves out asap.
*Friday*
Becky forwarded the info for tickets, so hopefully you're all sorted for
that. The pdf will get you in, though I doubt they are that strict on it
all. Please enter the site via Gate 3 CV34 6PJ – Green Camping at Myton
School. You can camp from Thursday (though would need to buy a ticket see
Billy Bragg that night if you wanted), and can stay Sunday night too if you
wish as the festival continues into the night on Sunday. Tickets can then
be collected from Festival Information at the Bridge House Theatre.* Please
put wristbands on your left wrists*.🎪
>From 8pm in the Market Square, dancing with Earlsdon
*Saturday*
*1st spot at 1145 *in the Swan (so maybe we can have a warm up dance...!),
then a couple more spots including the castle - these are all 5 mins, so
we'll be expected to hit some pubs in between. After the castle spot we
have the procession, after which Becky was suggesting that we could explore
the castle for a bit before continuing with dancing
*Sunday*
We have a spot in the *church service at 1030* followed by a procession.
Then we are mostly free to crawl around the pubs (we have a list) before a
5 mins spot on our own and the final spot for turn and turn about
which *finishes
at 4* at the Arena stage, so can then pack up and head home once we're done
there.🚂
I've attached the timetables for Saturday and Sunday in case you wish to
see them, and the ticket receipt just in case - I'll have them with me
anyway at the weekend.
Any more info about Warwick Folk Festival in general can be found here:

Think that covers it, any questions, please shout!
Thanks,
Hannah
Saving Hannah a job and forwarding this ticket. This gets you into the campsite and then you need to get wristbands individually.
Will gets there first so is hoping to find our spot, keep an eye on whatsapp.
Thanks,
Becky

Subject: [TR Committee] Tower Ravens Ticket Receipt - Warwick Folk Festival 25-28 July
Hello,
Thanks for joining us at Warwick Folk Festival this year. We're looking forward to a great weekend.
Attached is your Side ticket receipt, please check carefully, and let me know of any problems.
If you are able to let me know specific names that'll help at the Box Office.
This is your side site entrance ticket, it can be copied for each named person, to allow access to the campsite, and they'll then need to collect their wristband individually from Festival Information at the Bridge House Theatre, once set up.
Weekend tickets include camping from Thursday. Weekend tickets will allow you onto site on Thursday, but if you want to go to the Billy Bragg concert in the main marquee, you’ll need to have booked a Thursday ticket. Day tickets allow access to all events on that day - but not camping.
We have new entrances again this year - all camping morris sides to use Gate 3 CV34 6PJ – Green Camping (morris & overflow - tents & vans) at Myton School. See map on receipt.
The Campsite opens at 1pm on Thursday.
For non-campers, Gate 4 is a drop off point in front of the Bridge House Theatre (Festival Box Office).
We look forward to seeing you at the weekend.

Let me know if you have any queries,
Many thanks,
Tash

WITH THE PHOTOS THIS TIME- OOPS
Hello Tower Ravens Rapper
When I turned in the wrong direction out of Hammersmith Underground I
didn’t expect to encounter a really nice display of traditional English
dancing and to have the chance to photograph it.
I’m back home in Scotland at the end of my very enjoyable week’s holiday in
London and have got the photos ready for you.
I hope you enjoy them.
Feel free to make whatever use of them you want. They should look good
online.
Please credit me if you make use of any of my photos professionally though
there is no charge for them.
Cheers
Ronnie
