Hi All,
Bit later than usual with the old business email.
1. Kit
2. Sign-ups
3. Burns Night
4. AOB
Hopefully you've seen the email about Whittlesea / Strawbear logistics, any Q's let me know and I'll send the final version and more details about the day next week.
Thanks for all the responses on trains for DERT, we are mostly there now for getting there and tickets home should be out soon.
1. Kit - If you borrowed something before Christmas please return it. If you are able to lend any kit to Emma S please bring it along on Monday (or Thursday if you are dancing on the crawl). If anyone else is missing kit please shout asap - I suspect we might be down two petticoats (Hannorah and Clare) and one full set (Emma S) for next weekend. I have two skirts and the manky sash which I'll bring on Monday to see if any of that can be used.
2. As you know the Burns Night Ceilidh on 24th January has sold out and so there is profit, which is going towards the DART fund. So if you are going to DART (or even if you aren't and would like to) we need a couple of volunteers to do the doors and someone to organise the raffle. I'm happy to sort the coin rolling unless anyone is desperate to (I may need a reminder on the rules!) Email me or Martin if you are able to help with any of these things.
3. Sign ups. In terms of Summer events, I think the two that we should focus attention on are (though obviously please do fill out anything and everything on there):
- Priddy Folk Festival 11-12 July, dance spots during the day, ceilidh spot on the Saturday night. The invite cam through from Gus in Northgate. More info about the festival itself here:
http://www.priddyfolk.org/- London Folk Festival 5 September at Cecil Sharp House. I anticipate this being a day time thing as I don't think we have a musician available for the evening.

- We made and amazing £740 on the Christmas crawl! (In case anyone missed that)
