Hi All,

Amazing having so many new people last night!

If you are new and would like to sign up to any of the events on our sign-up sheet, please feel free to add your name onto anything that you would like to/can go to. We have a system of yes, no, maybe (and the no reply) - maybe is a totally acceptable answer, though we will eventually be asking maybes to make a decision one way or another...

So, it's a little while until our next dance out at the end of October, in the mean time, we have loads of events coming up in 2019 to sign up to!

Latest addition to the sign up sheet - DERT!! woop woop, we are registered, but we will need to let them know by 15th December exactly how many of us and how many guests will be going. This time it will be the weekend of 5th-7th April up in Newcastle. For those that haven't been it is the annual rapper competition and is a huge amount of fun, so basically you should go. On a more serious note, if you have any questions/want to know more, feel free to email or ask about it at practice. 

I know we had this one last week, but we only have until the end of October to let them know - Whitby Folk Week! 17th-23rd August 2019. It's a great week, so you should definitely all go (and please sign up) ☺

Otherwise, there are plenty of events coming up in the new year, and a few this side of Christmas (Thrales Day confirmed, thanks Patrick!). I appreciate some of these are back to back weekends (May/June), so if you have a preference please write it on there, so we can prioritise which we go to if we don't want to do them all (which we totally don't have to).

The Winter Solstice event we will say no to, as there doesn't quite seem to be enough certainty from anyone/super keenness to go seeing as it is the Friday before Christmas. Very sorry if you were looking forward to it, but am sure you'd be welcome to just turn up anyway.
