Hello all!
Firstly well done on the final outing last night, I thought Westerhope was looking great
[😊] just remember to look confident! We're planning to have dance Westerhope as part
of the Crook challenge, this'll be a bit dependant on what the setup is like but
I'll emphasise now that it's a case of one set off one set on and get on with
it!
Reminders:
Shiny shoes
Kit clean and presentable, ideally 60 denier tights (DERT set have ours from Primark and
found them reasonable although would recommend a pair of black pants to make sure they
don't travel South!
Hair - do whatever prep you need to do (straighten etc) please bring bobbles, clips, spray
or anything to keep it in place. I will be making up a load of clips with feathers so
we'll have them to put in too.
Please bring plasters and safety pins, you can never have too many, also if anyone has
business cards it can be worth having them with us just in case.
Hannah please remember your set of swords, if possible give them a clean just so
they're all in the best nick.
Drinking! As said yesterday I want people to enjoy DERT and I'm planning on having a
couple of drinks to dull the nerves and perk me up a bit. Please do this at a sensible
rate, there's no point us messing up because someone drank more than they can handle.
Westerhope set apologies in advance that you're not on until 7 but the same rule
applies to you. Showcase I see as a different kettle of fish although again hopefully no
rolling onto the performance!
Arrivals:
There are a small batch of us arriving in Kendal around 5.30, our plan is to go straight
to the hostel and check in.

As far as I know that is me, Ffion, Laura S and Jo. Prior to this will be Sue, Hannorah
and her sister, and Rachel. If you're in the area I will be assuming that you will be
coming to the hostel in order to get fairly settled and then head out at six for tea. Kate
and Paul I'm not sure, will you be with us? I don't want to leave anyone behind! I
will endeavor to send a message out on whatsapp about where we end up which will hopefully
gather us all up.
We will then go onto the Friday night social which is at Kendal school (a little further
South than our hostel). I know that Reesha, Laura W and Paul, and Hannah are all arriving
more like 9.30 -with the idea to go to the evening venue to pick up access to hostel,
wristband etc.
Beds:
We seem to have a bajillion beds divided over three rooms as so:
1 room = 11 singles
2 room = 1 double and 3 singles
3 room = 1 double and 5 singles
I at this point have 6 for quiet, 2 for middling, and 8 for stay up late but with some
debate re. snoring which I'll be honest I can't quite remember! I would suggest
louder people go in the 11 singles, with the other two rooms reserved for quieter sleeps.
Maybe snorers can be shoved in the smaller room as I seem to think there were less of
them??
Let me know if you need anything in the meantime, looking forward to seeing you all for an
awesome weekend [😃]
