Hi All,
A few things regarding kit, most of this is for Sidmouth, so feel free to
skip over irrelevant stuff if you aren't going. Bit boring, but necessary :)
Neckers and tie pins - I've been rather remiss and haven't collected these
back after DERT, if you have these could you please return them to me so we
know where they all are next time we need them. Likewise if you have any
random spare kit lying around.
Is anyone missing any bits of kit - i.e petticoats? If you are coming to
Sidmouth and don't have one, we should be able to sort something out with a
swap with someone not going.
For Sidmouth - we have a whole week of dancing, so now is the time to think
about whether you have enough T-Shirts and tights for the week. If this
weather continues it could well be reasonably warm (though it will be
cooler than London and we will be by the sea! I think we concluded
yesterday that 40 denier tights are likely to be the thinnest readily
available that will still look like black tights on our legs rather than
grubby legs.
Equally if you need to wear socks to keep your shoes on, don't forget to
make sure you have enough of these as well.
We obviously only have one skirt, petticoat and sash each, so please do
your best to take care of them during the week. If any of these need
repair, it may be worth looking at doing that before we go and give them
all a week of abuse - if you're not sure how to fix anything yourself,
please ask.
You may want to have some lightweight shoes of some sort for getting on and
off the campsite if it ends up being muddy, or just anyway if you get achy
feet walking around in rapper shoes all the time.
The other things you should bring are suncream and a waterproof or umbrella
- you never know what the weather is going to do!!
Finally stash - Laura has some spare hoodies and T-shirts if anyone would
like one / another one... send her a message if you do to see what there is!
