Hello all,
1. What to bring to clogging practice on Wednesday 10th
2. Times of Rockingham's Birthday in Peterborough
3. New event on the sign-up sheet
1. We have had the hall confirmed for next Wednesday as our clogging practice (hurrah!) at the usual time of 7.30 to 9.30. I've been in touch with Ru and she recommends people bring clogs (if they have them) or their rapper shoes, water, a notepad for attempting to remember instructions and something to record the stepping on - so if someone could bring a decent phone or ipad that'd be great.
I'm going to meet her before practice and will probably try and take her to the Cross Keys before hand if anyone wants to join, but I will try and confirm that.
Jo has ordered her a thankyou gift from her amazon wishlist, it's a book about rapper! We may take additional collection for this, or it might come out of subs- thoughts Jo?
2. In Peterborough we are meeting in the Drapers arms next Saturday at around 10.30. It's very close to the train station so I probably recommend we just get the 9.30 train. The dancing is set to finish at another pub very close to the station at 4.30 so obviously people can book returns for some time after that. I'm not sure how well dancers stick to times so who knows?
Please follow this very useful link to a map of the route:

3. Lastly Simon Vaughan (Thrales' Betty and general Ravens enthusiast) has invited us to his birthday on the 25th of October for some informal dancing most likely in the Punch Bowl on Fleet Street. He's said we can appear in kit or out and it's more of a get together than any sort of scary performance. Members of Thrales will be there with, I presume, a team, and possibly other rapper dancers. I think most people in the team know Simon, although I wasn't there for it I believe he helped us get started and wrote our Tommy song, and he helped collect last crawl so would be nice to take him up on the offer :)
Please let me know your availability so I can let him know if we actually have a team:
While you're there please look at upcoming events to check if you have given me your availability!
See some of you on Saturday and the rest on Monday for practice :)
