I have similar feelings about Beadnell. If we do it with our own styling,
we won't be being true to the dance, but Thrales do it so damn well we'll
really be competing.
I've got the nebwiggin book with me - could I ask that we consider it
tonight before practice? With a little bit of editing I think we could
pretty much dance it straight through without having to learn much more.
See you tonight!
Becky - bring your sewing fingers ;-)

Hi,
I know I haven't been around much lately, and I know that I didn't respond
to your email last week.
But I'm quite unhappy about the idea of us dancing Beadnell. I feel very
strongly that it's Thrales' dance, which we shouldn't try to copy, and I
also feel that it doesn't suit the style of our side at all. If a
traditional dance is what came highest on the agenda, maybe a dance like
Newbiggin is closer to our style of dance? And if it's about how quickly
we can learn something, a very simple figure chorus would be do-able.
We also don't have a side for St Albans, so that is not a concern. The
June crawl and Leigh-on-Sea are our next events.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who sent me their thoughts about our summer
priorities. It's just a shame you don't all agree with each other!! As you
know, I make a plan for every week's practice but I've now attempted to
create a plan for the next month, taking into account the various
responses. If your name is in the plan please check your diaries asap and
let me know if you're going to be on holiday that week. If your name's not
on plan, obviously please still turn up!! Beadnell is by far the easiest
trad dance, and I think it's easier than our circle dance, so we'll give
that a go tomorrow.
See you all tomorrow,
Ffion x
