Sending in my apologies for tonight.  We're very very busy at work and I'm not going to be able to get out in time for practice.

In my absence, there are three events that I'd like to encourage people to sign up to:

1.  THURSDAY'S CRAWL

As you all saw from Hannorah's email, Thursday's crawl will be in Whitechapel.  We had a really good reception last time we danced in Whitechapel, so I'd really encourage everybody who can make it to be there and make it a good night again!

2.  MABEL'S DAY (THIS SUNDAY)

Mabel's Day is coming up on us soon!  I'll send the detailed info with timings out later this week, but basically it's an afternoon of very gentle dancing round some Oxford pubs in great company.  We've got a side, but only just, so if you think you might be free for some rapper fun on Sunday, do but your name down.  There's quite a few maybe's that could do with turning into Y/Ns.

It might also be worth talking about transport tonight - there are obviously trains and the Oxford Tube, but is anybody driving and could give lifts?

3.  WASSAILING WITH CHINGFORD MORRIS (4 JAN 2014)

This is still a little while away (after Christmas!) but I'd love to be able to reply to say we can come in the next couple of weeks, so please sign up to that!  We've not quite got a side at present, so another couple of names would be good.  It sounds like a lovely little event up in North London: "there will be dancing, music and eating and drinking from 7.30pm onwards".
