Hi All,
As I'm worried about train ticket prices going up soon, I want to start
buying up tickets. At the moment the only ones it makes sense to buy are
the 2 2-together ones as I need one more person to go into a group save
with Laura and Reesha. If anyone wants to buy their own tickets, feel free,
just let me know so that I don't need to worry about you. I am going to
purchase the first round of tickets tomorrow morning, so if you would like
me to get yours please fill the spreadsheet in. I think a couple of people
have had problems accessing it (I have no idea why it isn't working how I
want it to - sorry about that!) - so if you are having trouble, please just
email me the info and I'll add it in.
Accommodation - Again, this is going fast (I wonder why...). there are
apparently 3 double rooms and 3 twin rooms in the ibis (the cheapest of the
ones which Katherine has a discount for) which will cost £35 per person
(assuming 2 sharing), Katherine thinks she may be able to add one or two
more rooms to this. Though this could have changed by now. From the looks
of it, this might not be quite enough for all of us, so I have been trying
to look into other options as well. Mostly it's a bit on the pricey side,
including the hostels which are between £35 and £50 anyway - so it doesn't
exactly look cheap.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hello all,
Kate isn't at the next practice so we are currently without music. We normally manage a certain amount without music and Ffion filling a little in on whistle (thankyou!)
Hannah is it possible to see if Martin is available? As music isn't needed all the time it would probbaly be fine if he just came for a little while (start or end) so he isn't stood about doing nothing for a lot of it?
Or if anyone else has any bright ideas please let me know!

Thanks all. I've emailed Customs and Exiles, but if they aren't available will try the more local teams.

Hello all (this may be one for Katherine actually),
I'm trying to organise some dance spots for my Histories of Morris conference in March. I want to book a GOOD North West side. I know Earlsdon, but are there any others more local to London?
And if you happen to know of any local border morris sides that don't black up, then that would be great too(!!!)
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in anticipation.

Hi all,
I know I've mentioned this to a couple of people already, but just so
everybody is aware, the Westerhope set at DERT will be: Jo (1); Hannorah
(2); Hannah (3); Reesha (4); Laura S (5); Rachel Anne (6).
I've also been asked to send round a list of figures. These are:
Single guard
Fast knot
Fourth corner
Double cramper
Tipping guard
Curly
Jigging guard
Backlock
I'm putting together a more in depth document with all the timings in,
which I hope to send round soon. And hopefully soon we can get video
footage too, for those who find that helpful.
Cheers,
Rachel :)

Hi everyone,
Hope legs etc. are recovering after all that dancing!
1. Katherine's wedding - need responses asap!
2. DERT Trains
2. Day of dance
3. Sign-ups
1. Cheap advance tickets have now become available - so we need to book
asap. We have decided that if we aim to get the 1003 from Kings Cross, we
can arrive in Leeds at 1224, which will give us plenty of time to check in
then meet up for lunch and to crawl during the afternoon making sure we
arrive well in time for the reception at 5pm. The following should be a
link to a spreadsheet for you to fill in whether you have a railcard,
whether you need a ticket and how many need accommodation (will be looking
to sort this too as I think there are group discounts but we need to be
quick!) - so if bringing +1's. Also don't forget to RSVP to Katherine
(mostly reminding myself there...). Please please fill this in by the end
of Saturday 21st so that we can sort out tickets on Monday/maybe even
before then? This is mostly so that we can group those people that don't
have railcards so we can get them cheaper tickets.
(Rachel, which one did you book back? We might as well join you, unless
anyone wants to do different..)
2. DERT trains. While I was at it I've added three columns to indicate what
time of day you would like to travel up on the Friday...
3. Day of Dance - after some deliberation I think we cam to a conclusion
that we would probably ask Medlock or Stone Monkey (as consensus was that
we should aim to get to know a team that we don't know very well) - other
suggestions were Star and Shadow (who would most likely say no, because
feasibility) or Northgate. Sheffield Steel also suggested as they invited
us in the past. But basically probably one of the first 2. However, before
we can invite a team, we need some days to suggest. For the minute we have
2 possible weekends in May - 6th or 20th, but may need to look at June as
well. Could I ask you all to fill in your availability for the May slots
please?
4. I've also added on the two weekends (we'd only do one) which Laura has
invited us to go and dance for her old folks at the community centre we
were practising in on Sunday. This would be 18th Feb or 18th March - to use
as extra DERT practice potentially) or could do another weekend later in
the year. See sign-up sheet for more info. Please could everyone double
check that they have replied to as many events as they can (if you haven't
already!).
Railcards etc. spreadsheet:

Sign-ups:

XmFb8jmCeRa48IRI/edit
I think you can share the above with yourselves if need be. Let me know if
anyone has any problems accessing any of the above
Have a great week! (Monday seems ages away!)
Thanks,
Hannah
...it's either that or be an hour early with the Sunday train service.
Also be warned, I'm still a coughing ball of snot, so may not be on top dancin' form.
