I've done a few post-DERT tweets which many of you will have seen, but as Rees was
doing such a fab job with Jo's camera I didn't take any pics or films on my phone,
so haven't had any visual content.
Happy to tweet 'em once we do if you're able to share them by email Jo. Of course
Lindsey or indeed anyone else can tweet as Tower_Ravens as well.
Was thinking Twitter may be a good medium for recruiting more dancers and musicians,
especially if we tweet to twitterers with big followings like EFDSS, BrightYoungFolk &
the Demon Barbers. I'll hold on doing anything here until we discuss this in more
detail next Monday.

True. Short posts via twiiter, and then longer ones
and photo ones on the faebook page?
How consistant do we want the two sites to be?

Getting photo's from my dad will take until next year. He also didn't tell me he
was going, so I got a grumpy text asking where the hell I was! I shall send him an email
asking him though.
I was thining the same thing about the photos. Also - the twitter account is linked to
the facebook, so anything written on twitter is also put on facebook. I can't get the
link to work the other way round though. This means - to get the best out of the publicity
- we should try and post status updates via twitter. Does that make any sense?

I think Rhys was using Jo's camera to take ones for us at the weekend. Perhaps
Lindsey's dad also took some? x

Are there any pictures from DERT that we can put up on our fb page asap? While the rapper
profile is higher than normal still :)
I honestly don't mind whether we have a dance or not next monday, but could we decide
beforehand so i know whether to bring my picc or not?

Good afternoon ladies,
I hope you all got home ok last night and enjoyed sleeping in your own beds! I hope
you're also all feeling proud if what we achieved at the weekend. We did some great
dances and came 6th overall in the open class. I think that's an accurate
representation of where we're at at the moment and I'm looking forward to getting
the judges comments to see what they have to say, although I'm sure we can guess what
some of the comments will be!
I've attached a picture of the 'final' marks (as of yesterday morning) and
here is a break down:

We came 6th in the open class overall with 502 marks
We were the 4th best new team (out of 5)
We were 7th out of 13 in the open class for dancing with 428 points
We were joint 8th out of 13 for buzz (joint with NYFTE) with 107 points but this was very
close to cinquefoil and Warwick 1
Nikki was joint 7th in the open (with cinquefoil) and joint 16th overall (also with Mabel
Gubbins). She got 60 points which was higher than 2 championship teams (northgate and
maltby Phoenix)
Sue was joint 4th in the open (with sisters in arms, durham uni and Dorset buttons) and
joint 13th overall. She got 74 points which put her above championship tommies from Mons
Meg and Whip the Cat
So... now it's time to look to the future! There are lots of things we could
do in the next six months or so but it would be good to have a discussion to decide which
things to prioritise. I therefore propose that we have an hour of dancing next Monday
followed by an hour of chat. However, looking at the list below perhaps you think we
should just have the chat with no dancing. What do you think? The following are a list of
things we could think about doing in the next 6 months - we won't do all of them.
Please send me any more ideas you've got to put on the list and we'll discuss them
all next Monday.
Learning current dance
Teach the dance to Lindsey
Teach number one to Jo
Teach someone else 5
Get Sue confident at number 5
Work on being able to fix mistakes
Developing the current dance
Learn to tumble
Design TR underwear (that's Nikki's suggestion by the way!)
Put walk the dog in
Put tits in
Other dances
Create new, outside slow dance
Learn a traditional dance
Bookings
Tenterden - update from Hannorah
More festivals to look in to
Hastings - update from Nikki
Set up regular crawl dates
DART (DERT in America)
Team members
Recruit more tommies and Betties
Recruit more members - hold a workshop?
Recruit more musicians
Getting some swords
Frank Lee (http://www.rapper-swords.co.uk) / Jimmie Kilner
(http://kjmrapperswords.co.uk)
When can we afford it?
Updates from positions
Finance update
Kit update
Social secretary update
Logo and website update
Do send me anything else you'd like to talk about. The more I look at the list, the
more I think we probably should cut straight to the discussion rather than do any dancing.
Does anyone object?
Looking forward to seeing some of you at the ceilidh on Friday (more details coming from
Nic!) and well done again!!
Ffion x
