Hi All,
Thanks for all the super efforts at the Burns Night ceilidh with everything. The dancing went down well and we made over £1000 which is going towards DART.
Coming up this week we have the dilly crawl on Thursday around Kennington so watch out for details from Ellie. If you aren't in the dilly set but fancy coming out that would be lovely. (We raised £131 on the last one)
Sunday 2nd we have the dilly day practice at 33 Oval Road, NW1 7EA 11-5.
Various things on sign-ups below. We do need to be sorting out what we want to do for the Summer now. We have an additional feature where Martin and Will are getting fewer available dates as they are accepting gigs if we aren't committed to stuff. So we are at risk of not having a musician.
Urgent Response Required Invites
Priddy not too sure at the mo, but could the following people try and put a Yes/No on by the end of the week please:
Clare, Emma R, Emma S, Hannah TD, Hannorah, Joanna, Laura, Fliss, Emma H
Broadstairs - could the following people put a Yes/No on by the end of the week please:
Clare, Emma R, Hannah TD, Joanna, Rachel-Anne, Laura, Hannorah,
New Invites:
Beverley Fringe 19-21st June - this replaces the Beverley Folk Festival which folded a couple of years ago after the funding was pulled. The are very happy for us to just go and hit the pubs or be programmed instead if we prefer (would suggest hitting the pubs...)
Declined Invites:
Ossett Beer Cart is a No - we don't have enough to commit now and they are chasing us on it.
7 Champs Ale is also a No
Other Invites:
St Patrick's Pub gig, ideally they would like us to do an hour of music and dance - we can pick the time that suits us. After that we could hit a few more pubs if people fancy it/want more of an outing? This is paid gig, and a repeat one, so responding reasonably soon would be ideal...
Otherwise, please generally sign-up to stuff. If it is easier scribbling on my paper copy at practice, then please do! I'm sure by next week there will be something else we are being chased on..
Thanks,
Hannah
