Hi All,
Please see below for info about shoes and kit. Don't worry too much about
kit just yet if you aren't yet dancing out, but I know there are quite a
few people that are in need of shoes. It might be that we can try and
negotiate some kind of discount on the soles, as a few of us need resoling
so maybe we could take them all in one go.
With shoes, it might help to try one of ours on so that you know which size
you need - usually seems to be a size down from whatever you normally take.
Just ask around on Monday if you want to try some on!
There is a spare pair of size 7's that I have been given which are free to
a good home - apparently they are wearing out a bit, but would be fine for
now. Give me a shout if you think they'd fit you and I'll bring them to a
practice.
Any questions, let me know!
Thanks,
Hannah
Shoes:
- I think the link below matches the ones we use - the old link has sold
out of sensible sizes! Once you've bought them we'll need to get the soles
put on the bottom - think this is about £20.

- Alternatively it looks like the one stop Morris Shop do them with the
soles already attached for £49

- If you find something a bit cheaper anywhere, feel free to get that so
long as it looks like the same kind of shoe.
Kit - don't worry too much about this if you aren't yet dancing out:
- T-Shirt: H&M £3.99 Black short-sleeved/capped sleeves, figure-fit top
in soft, stretch jersey - basics range with round neckline (not the high
neck, the more scoopy one (technical term that);
- Skirts and petticoats are sorted by the team - should be a couple of
spares now as we've had some kit returned, though you may need to share
petticoats with someone as we may not quite have enough to go round and
still haven't found somewhere else to buy the material;
- Tights: black 40 or 60 dernier (up to you which - probably depends on
the time of year...)
