Tappalachian is me. One of them was in touch recently but didn’t mention January. Can you
pass info on? Cheers.
As we’re dancing late on Saturday I’ll be there for 8.30ish. Hope that’s ok.

Hi All,
Thanks for coming to the AGM on Monday, appreciate it was long, but there was a lot to get
through. I'll sort out the minutes over the next couple of days so it is still fresh
in your minds when I send them round - in the mean time, Becky's summary should
hopefully tide you over! (And don't forget to fill in the DERT practice doodle!)
There are various sign-up sheet related things, I have put everything filled out on Monday
up, please do double check in case anything is amiss - there were a couple where I think
I've put them on the right line, but worth double checking... Also if the little bit
of extra info on some of them that I've provided below changes anything for you,
please adjust as appropriate and as always shout if you need more info as you probably
aren't the only one wondering... Ellie and Ellie especially, can you double check
I've put the right one of you in? I've based it on how you each write E...
Also, was there someone who went to Kimpton and was interested in joining Tappalachian -
they have emailed about a one-off taster evening in January... please let me know who you
were so I can put you in touch
But, first:
1. Coming up this week
2. Current and declined Invites
3. New Invites
1. Coming up this week we have the Step Ceilidh Party on Saturday! It starts at 1930 and
finishes at 11, they have a pretty packed schedule from the looks of it and it looks like
we are now dancing at 1015, so a little later than originally planned. I've attached
the schedule so you can see who else is performing. We are welcome to attend the whole
thing. I think most people said that they would want to go to it all, so if you didn't
and are intending to come later please let me know. I would like everyone there by 2130
absolute latest.
2. Current and declined invites
- At the AGM last night we decided to focus our efforts on DART for the time being and so
will postpone trying to do Llangollen for another year.
- Towersey, if you would like to go please fill this in if you would like to go.
Appreciate that we may wish to not do this if we do DART, however we will be discussing
DART with those that have committed very soon and if for some reason this doesn't look
like it will come off, we may wish to do Towersey.
3. New Invites - there are a lot of these, so apologies. Will see what the picture looks
like in the next couple of weeks and some of these may then disappear if not very popular
(probably the Morris-y ones)!
- Bower St Morris Day of Dance 23-24 May - Drinks reception Friday night, Saturday
dancing followed by Fish and Chips in Margate and viking chess in the evening, some
relaxed stands and lunch in Whitstable on Sunday. Camping available at cricket club.
Weekend cost £35 +£10 per tent.
- Dead Horse Morris Ale 17-19 July, Camping at Goodys Brewery in Herne, with a day of
dancing in Whitstable on the Saturday. £20 per head. Could go for a day trip
- Brighton Morris Day of Dance 4th July - Outside spots, maybe we could investigate
whether we could do pubs… various spots with a final mass dance by the beach, followed by
an evening of food and drink
- Alternatives to Llangollen:
Priddy Folk Festival 10-12 July, including ceilidh spot on saturday night. Free ticket and
camping for performers
We have also been invited to Ilfracombe All things Morris this weekend as well, however I
would have thought that a festival would be preferable, so I have put Priddy on the
sign-up sheet and not this one.
- Broadstairs 7-14th August - they are super keen for us to go and we haven't been
able to the last couple of years. What we could do rather than doing the full week is
either the weekend or even a day trip. If you would prefer either of these things, please
state that on the sign up sheet. Camping is available and you receive free festival
tickets for days that we are dancing and can have 25% off tickets for other days. About
1hr 20 away on the train from London. More info about the festival here:
https://broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk<https://broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk/&g…
- 7 Champions Ale, Benenden, 18-20th September . This has come through facebook, so I
don't have the details, however an old invite from them evening buffet on Fri, bus
tour 10-4 Saturday with Pimms reception at 7pm, ceilidh and dinner, cooked breakfast and
one last dance on Sunday. £35 per person . Looks to be 2-2.5hrs by public transport
Have an exciting week - am sure the highlight will be when I send the minutes through...
Sign-up sheet here as always:

Thanks,
Hannah
