Hi All,
Please find the minutes from last Mondays meeting attached. I'm afraid they
are rather long... think I need to work on not trying to write everything
down...
Let me know if anything is correct.
Below is a brief summary/list of action points.
Thanks,
Hannah
Need to organise a Day of Dance at some point...
Piccadilly and Westerhope to stay as they are and get everyone up to speed
on them.
Jubilee - needs some work - concentrated practice. Also look at replacement
figure for Walk-the-dog.
People happy to learn new positions
Need to keep crawling through summer, may need to be a little flexible on
dates to get them in. Possible scratch side, Whitby, Sidmouth - any others?
Have a session on tommy/betty to give (Laura's) Paul and anyone else a go -
Becky to sort with Clive/Vaughan
Open practice - October - advertise in Folk London (Ffion) and anywhere
else?
Flyer - Ffion to create, Laura S to prettify
Music - all to think about other musician that could support Kate as
required. Possibility of Zone 9-er musician statuses
Non-binary person - fine in principal so long as they are happy with
style/kit etc. Maybe they can come to crawl/1st Monday/open practice
whatever suits so they can work out whether they like us!
Organise day sessions for trying out clog and Irish (hard-shoe) dancing
People that already do other dance types, bring things for this to
festivals etc
Hi All,
I meant to add this to the EGM agenda and forgot. Post-DERT, Star and Shadow asked if we would like to join them in Newcastle for a crawl. Obviously it's quite a long way but I thought I'd see if people were interested and then get back to them.
Please fill in the doodle poll with your feelings! Please note the date is just at random - I have to put a date for the poll to work.

Please let me know if you like the idea of going up to Newcastle for a crawl with the Shadows. Obviously it is rather a long way! I've added a maybe option - if you answer maybe please leave a comment so I know why you aren't a definitive yes or no. NB - THE DATE IS MADE UP IT JUST INSISTS I PUT ONE

Hello all,
Please remember as it is bank holiday there is no practice tonight. The next event is this Saturday for may day event at c#.
I know hannah has circulated bits of info and there's probably some more coming to do a bit of warm up? Apologies that it might be a shock to the system after a few weeks. Know you'll rock it!
Shamefully I am unable to make this as I am at a 4 corner practice, which i signed up to before Christmas. On the other hand we're crawling that Saturday night in Kings Cross Euston area if anyone fancies seeing me look bewildered at wearing hoggers and doing a dance I don't really know...
Miss you!

Hello all,
We've just had an invite for a Walthamstow Folk Festival on the 26th August. I've added it to the sign up sheet, so please indicate your availability.
Thanks,
Laura
Hi All,
As mentioned at the meeting on Monday, we thought we should send an email
to Crook thanking them for an incredible DERT (which I probably should have
already done by now...) - not sure if you already did something Becky when
you asked about our score sheets?
If there is anything in particular that anyone would like mentioned, please
let me know by 8pm Tuesday 2nd.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hi All,
There WILL NOT be a crawl on Thursday as there are no musicians available
that we know of - sorry to disappoint and thank you to everyone for signing
up for it. Hopefully there will be just as many of us for the May one...
though looking at the sheet, we may need to be flexible on the date or
something!
Based on the doodle, there are no other days where we have enough of us
before 6th May, so we shall have to make do with some practice beforehand -
either see if there are a couple of pubs in Camden that are open early, or
see if we can use a room in C# for an hour or so beforehand. Would be good
to brush off those cobwebs before dancing out. (This also has the advantage
of having everyone who is at C# there...)
We now have sets for both Jubilee and Westerhope to fill our slots and we
should be able to join in the day in between. Please find our timetable and
the flyer for the day attached. Our spots will be at 1245 and 1505, so we
should be able to make that work for those of you that need to leave early.
Thanks,
Hannah
PS Minutes coming soon, when I've typed them up.
Due to my "nearly fainting at work" incident earlier, I am not going to be
there tonight, my apologies. If that makes the discussion of introducing
non-binary members difficult then I'm happy to postpone that discussion for
when I'm around.
Have fun!

Hello all,
Please find attached AGM minutes, plus action points for individuals that I've tried to pull out from it, but I'm hoping people have fairly good ideas of what they need to do anyway!
Generally there needs to be a hand over of roles- this includes Hannah having access to the info emails and me handing over any ongoing correspondents/organising. I need to take on a lot of info regarding the dance from Katherine!
Tour organisers- plan out the next couple of months of crawls- where they'll happen and who is organising them. Maybe doodle poll potential dates for the pre-DERT crawls.
Kit- can we confirm if we have Janet's kit? Sinead if you read this does your new timetable allow you to come back? If not are we able to have your kit back until you're around to use it again? -Hannorah to find out the price of making a skirt at her local tailors - Laura S have you any thoughts on Westerhope kit? Have a lot more time at this point
Festivals- Hannah to ask re. Bromyard next year and to look into Chippenham - we can invite ourselves so think it would be a good starting point for us!
Longsword - Hannah to create a doodlepoll of potential dates for a longsword practice. One Saturday/ Sunday to give it a go and then see from there how we do
Ffion to send out an email asking inactive members if they still want to be on the email list, delete as appropriate.
My aim is to get to grips with the dance, discuss with Katherine/Ffion any ideas for how to develop Piccadilly. As well as working on the team performing a double jubilee as aim to do this at the showcase.
Westerhope- Laura S to consider plan for Westerhope - AGM discussion re. having a second Westerhoper who can continue the practice on the alternate weeks you're not there but following your plans of what you'd like to work on in the long term (please try and sort this at this coming weeks practice).
I am away for the next week and a bit so am leaving Katherine/Ffion in charge of next weeks practice (sorry Katherine, no retirement for you!) Also as long as Laura S is around I'd like the team to work on Westerhope.
Thanks all,
Becky
Hello all,
Just a reminder tomorrow is our egm/party! I have cups and plates and napkins all we need is food and drink!
Officers please consider a brief report as well as remembering this is an opportunity to stand down if wanted.
If you aren't able to go to the egm but have points you would like to make please email me/hannah/ the team so we can include your ideas!
See you tomorrow,
Becky x

Hi everyone,
In an ideal world we would have everyone who will be at the May Day thing
in C# on 6th May at the Crawl, we're still looking at a couple of
no-replies for Thursday and also have no musician.
So, could everyone please fill in the attached poll (especially if going on
6th May) asap so we can get a date and a crawl organised. I think it would
be really helpful to have a crawl before this as we don't have any
practices due to the way bank holidays are falling at the mo.
One option, if people are free, could be to crawl on Monday - it's a bank
holiday, so we wouldn't have a practice anyway.
Laura S - if you are able to make 6th May that would be much appreciated as
then we can definitely do Westerhope and Jubilee rather than having to
dance jubilee twice in a row. Will that be possible?
