Hello,
Here are some details for the gig I mentioned on Monday:
On Friday 22 February The Foxglove Trio (me, Patrick and our friend Cathy) and Brown Boots (Martin and Will) are playing at Aces and Eights in Tufnell Park. I think it starts at 7.45pm. You can buy tickets in advance here which might be a good idea as it's a fairly small venue. https://www.wegottickets.com/event/461956
It's probably going to be The Foxglove Trio's last gig in London for quite a while so it would be lovely to see you there!
In case you've not heard either of the bands before The Foxglove Trio sound like this

close to Euston too.

The Carpenters Arms. Maybe
The Fitzrovia. YES
The Rising Sun. YES
College Arms. YES, 2 dances? There's another space downstairs.
Jack Horner. Maybe
The Flying Horse. Maybe, directly opposite To Co Ro tube station.
I've got people to email, ring and go in again tomorrow to try to turn
those maybes into yeses.
Simon at The Court didn't ask my name from the booking but he said he
remembered us and we have the table in the back corner, behind the bar.
See you tomorrow!

Hi All,
Please look out for emails / doodles to get fast answers on DERT trains.
I'll get booking as soon as I can. In the mean time...
1. Coming up
2. Sign-ups
1. Coming up this week we have a Piccadilly crawl on Friday - I think
probably around Tottenham Court Road, but watch out for details later in
the week.
Sunday - the sewing continues! I'll let Sue decide on a time she wants to
start. If you have kit that needs work and didn't hand it in last week,
please try and get it to her on Friday.
2. Sign-ups:
New Invite - Poplar Folk Festival at the Poplar Union Arts Centre on 4th
May. Details so far are that there will be concerts from 2, but events in
the cafe area starting from 1230.
Declined Invites - We have declined Wimborne Minster Festival. People
didn't really seem all that keen and they wanted to know mid-Feb, which is
basically now.
Other Invites -
Hen & Chickens were looking at trying to do Saturday now instead of Sunday,
but from a quick check last night, this didn't work for numbers. Will
update on whether they change their minds again...
Other events that still have some no-replies and maybes:
Becky's Wedding
St Albans Folk Festival
Hammersmith are 60! (could do with an answer asap please!!!)
Lewes Day of Dance

Have a lovely week.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hello all,
Can you believe it, tonight holds more rapper! Thanks so much for the commitment and hard work of everyone over the last few days. Top prize goes to Sue and Hannah who have attended everything, closely followed by Martin 😊
Tonight absences: Hannorah, Rachel and Miriam. Martin will be covered by Will.
Clog as normal at 7.
I'm hoping tonight we can work on any issues which crawls/ Piccadilly day practice flagged. This will probably lead to some rather intensive points - as we don't have Hannorah or Rachel all help with Westerhope will be vital, and having people to watch Piccadilly to see if we're actually improving will be great!
See you later,
Becky x
Well done guys. A lovely thank you from Centrepoint, though I can't actually see the attachment!

Hi Lucy
Thanks for sending me the bank details. This is just to let you know that I've paid £200 into the Centrepoint account on behalf of Tower Ravens.
We are a dance team who perform a style of traditional sword dance from the North-East of England, called rapper. We perform at folk festivals around the country and we go on a London pub crawl each month (details on Facebook). We usually collect money to help cover our expenses, but we like to make a big effort for charity every Christmas. This year we unanimously voted for Centrepoint.
You can find us here:
Website: www.towerravens.org.uk<http://www.towerravens.org.uk/>
Twitter: @tower_ravens
Facebook: Tower Ravens
and there are various videos on You Tube.
With very best wishes
Sue

Hi Sue,
Naomi passed your details on to me after you spoke on the phone – it’s amazing to hear your dance troupe has raised over £200 at Christmas! This is incredible and I’m so pleased you chose to support Centrepoint with this.
How did you raise this, was it through a show?
I have attached our bank details for you, please use the reference ‘11COM dance’ if you can, so I can spot it in our account
Once you’ve sent this over, I’ll send you over an acknowledgement/thank you letter for you to share with the troupe.
Thank you for choosing to support Centrepoint. Centrepoint is the leading national charity working to give homeless young people a future. We work with 10,000 young people every year providing accommodation, raising aspirations and equipping them with the skills they need to thrive independently. Our work supporting vulnerable young people wouldn’t be possible without support from people like yourselves, so thank you very much for your generosity.
Best wishes
Lucy

Hi All,
As brief a summary I can manage for the week...
1. Upcoming events
2. DERT Reminder
3. Sign-ups
4. AOB
1. - Westerhope Crawl around Euston, starting at the Rocket on Thursday
31st Jan, please be there at 1915 dancing starting at 1930.
- Piccadilly crawl on Friday - details to be confirmed!
- Sewing Day on Saturday! Sue has sent details out to those that are
coming, but if you are free and want to get your thread on, let her know!
(Also if you have kit that needs work / is needed as a template for someone
else, please hand it in after your crawl.)
- And finally Piccadilly practice on Sunday in the Abbey Community Centre
from 1030!
Wow! So much Raven ☺
2. So, DERT! We have somewhere to stay! Found a link for the Jury's Inn
that only cost a little more than previously thought, so we're all booked
up.
So, now we need to get trains sorted asap. There are still quite a few
people that haven't filled in the doodle about time of day, if you could
all please do so by next Monday that will make sorting trains possible. Any
further info on Railcards would be helpful as well.
3. Sign-ups. The main one to fill in is Hammersmith's Day of Dance on 13th
July - we could do with giving them an answer asap. There are then other
events that need to know by mid-Feb (Wimborne) so please take a look and
fill yourselves in as either Yes or No (maybe is not so helpful right now
for these).

4. AOB - Emma found somewhere to buy a card reader for crawls for £30, so
she is going to get one. At the last crawl we made £187 and the piece of
crap was a screw.
Thanks all and see you at something Raven-y!
Hannah
Hi All
Anyone planning on coming on the crawl on Thursday, let’s meet at The Rocket on Euston Rd at 7.15 (ready to dance at 7.30).
I have one tankard. Do others have collecting vessels they’re planning on bringing?

Hi All,
Next Saturday is the sewing day where we're hoping to revamp / replace /
make any missing kit. So.. could you please bring in your skirts, sashes
and petticoats on Monday. If you can pop them in a bag with your name on
that will help us make sure everyone gets the right bits back.
If your kit is 100% fine, then don't worry about bringing it in. Not sure
how far we'll get, but I believe Sue has a list of priorities.
If you are free on Saturday and fancy helping out one way or another
(sewing abilities not essential) then please add yourselves to the sign-up
sheet.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hi All,
Apologies for being a bit late getting this one out...
1. Coming up!
2. DERT reminder
3. Sign-ups
1. Crawl this evening - you should have all the info from Ellie/ First
dance at 1930, so please be ready to go before then.
Westerhope Day practice on Sunday 27th 1030-4 at the Abbey Community
Centre, 222C Belsize Road, London, NW6 4DJ.
2. Quick DERT reminder - if you owe me info about trains or accomm, please
let me know asap. I am going to have to find somewhere else for us to stay
as the Jury's Inn is hideously expensive now - any suggestions most
welcome.. (please?) The minute I find somewhere suitable I will book it.
There are still some places on the DERT Friday coach tour if anyone would
like to go (the bus was bigger than they had previously thought, so a few
more seats available!)
3. Sign-ups - We need to let Hammersmith know about their Day(13th July) -
please try to move yourself from a maybe asap. We will also need to let
Wimborne Festival know soon and at the moment we have a lot of maybes and
No's - probably almost enough fro a team.
Other sign-ups -we have the Paddy's night thing at hen and Chickens, thanks
for all the responses on Monday, just sorting out details and a musician
and then I'll let you know. If you weren't there on Monday / didn't know
your availability, please take a look.
Also still needing some attention: Becky's Wedding! St Albans Folk
Festival, Lewes Day of Dance
As always - sign up sheet here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4…
