Hello all,
Just so you know this is my plan for tonight's practice.
Start with Jubilee practice for the wedding- those going I have as this, please all be there tonight:
Hannah, Laura W, Sue, Ffion, Reesha, Rachel, Joanna, Laura S,
If Rachel is still up for dancing then you might be able to do a Westerhope with her as two but that's really up to her/the team. Thrales are crawling from 3.30 which I think you guys can actually join in with? But again we can discuss that tonight. I need to check my details but think you guys will be out and about in some capacity until around 5, then gathering at the wedding where I think there is then some outside dancing. After that I think us and Thrales both have one performance inside pre-ceilidh. The plan is to do the Piccadilly DERT set as Katherine really wants to dance and, especially for people that haven't seen rapper before, Piccadilly is defo the most exciting thing we've got [😊]
I'd also ideally like to work through Jubilee with Hannorah at 2 ready for DERT.
After that Westerhope have free reign. Those not in the Westerhope set please don't run off unless necessary, the more people available to watch and help the better, and I'll probably make us do some extra stepping.
See you later,
Becky
Hello all,
Timetable for Kendal is announced, plus a handy map [😊] http://www.dert2017.co.uk/timetables-and-maps/
Generally looks ok, and (other than 1 dance where we follow Red Mum which will be hard to compete on buzz) we've got a great chance of making an excellent impression (unlike last year it's different each time which is really nice).
Trad you dance at 19.45 our final dance is at 21.00 so we have to remain sober enough to get through it!
Have a lovely weekend. We will discuss cake entry on Monday..

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to say thanks for another great crawl, I'm so happy with how the dance is being performed, I think we're going to have a great day in Kendal. Sue you're sounding great, keep practicing to the video it's totally doing the trick - I am loving all the London references [😊] Kate - other than the mystery start that one time - sounding great, got excellent pace and generally still feeling really controlled.
Hopefully Jubilee feeling more confident now as well, Jo your calling has grown in confidence massively, we'll have another go on Monday to stamp it well and truly in.
Thank you again for all your hard work. Whatever happens we're gonna have an ace day!
See you on Friday/Monday/at the wedding/ in Kendal [😲]

Ok - so as people have probably seen we're now down Reesha and Laura S. and Rachel can only fill in for 1 of them. Ffion's probably not really ready to dance 5 out, and even if she was her and Rachel being uncertain in their movement probably wouldn't help the rest of the set.
For that reason I'm going to say there will be no Westerhope tonight, with the plan to have a Westerhope only crawl around Bank on Monday 3rd. Tonight will be DERT heavy but I would like to do some Jubilee's to give people practice at dancing out (in particular I'm thinking about Jo, Hannorah and Rachel-Anne). I can always put these nearer the beginning in order to let people leave earlier?
Apologies that it will mean limited dancing for those people again, I'll make sure there are definitely at least a couple of Jubilees!
See you later,
Becky
Hello all,
Does anyone live or work near a craft sort of shop? I need blue and black feathers to make new clips for us to wear at DERT. I should have researched this a couple of weeks ago but totally forgot. Finding decent ones online is a bit tricky as it's hard to tell if they're super fluffy, which probably isn't suitable and will fall apart as I try and superglue to a hair clip. I've also looked around Holborn tonight and still not much luck..
Thanks!
Becky
Hi all,
Please meet at Knights Templar Wetherspoons pub tonight. It's just south of Chancery Lane tube and it's where we went for Thrales day this year.
See you there,
Ffion

My leg is currently the worst its been for a long time, I'm in pretty much
permenant pain. I will show up if I'm needed tonight, but if there is any
way westerhope can dance without me I'd rather rest it.
Let me know,
Reesha
Hi All,
1. Crawl
2. Beverley
3. Sashes/kit
1. Crawl TOMORROW - see Ffion's email/facebook for details. Please make
sure that you are completely ready to go by 7.30 so we can get through the
huge list of pubs Ffion has produced!
2. Beverley - Sadly this is a no. We just can't quite manage it with the
people we have available. Fingers crossed for next year though!
3. Sashes - One or two people have said that they are missing some sparkles
on their sashes. If this includes you/you are not sure, could you please
bring your sash on Monday (27th)/arrange for it to be there so we can check
and re-sparkle! On that note, if there are any other kit issues that anyone
is aware of - now is probably the time to sort them out...
See you all tomorrow!
Hannah
