Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend, and hopefully no one forgot it was bank holiday Monday yesterday... though to help with your rapper withdrawal symptoms, we have a crawl this Thursday - watch out for info coming soon.

Faversham - Sunday 2nd September, see the Faversham email and let me know if you have any queries / would like me to buy you a train ticket / are driving and haven't yet told me your reg plate number if you want to use the free parking.

Bromyard - We will be dancing both days, I just don't know the details yet beyond the workshop and ceilidh spot. As soon as I know more, I'll pass it on. If you haven't yet let me know about whether or not you'd be there in time for the Friday night procession, please add it to the sign-up sheet. More Bromyard info in the Bromyard email, and I'll provide updates next week/when I have them.

Belgium, this is looking to be a no, unless Emma, Katherine and Rachel are all super-keen... hint hint. If so, we can try to find a musician, but I think it unlikely we'll be going this time.

Dance on the Moor - 25-27th May 2019, Goathland. Goathland Plough Stots are hosting a Festival of Dance (possibly a crawl via Steam Train?!), looks to mostly be sword teams invited, so should be good (Goathland Plough Stots, Mons Meg (I think), Southport Sword, High Spen, Sheffield Steel, Saddleworth Morris) . Accommodation - offer of indoor camping at the Community hub, along with space for tents. Alternatively B&B's or hotels, if you prefer in the village:

"We will be working alongside the North Yorkshire Moore’s Steam Railway which runs  in-between Pickering and Whitby, with a station in Goathland itself. This will hopefully allow us to offer the opportunity for a wider range of dancing locations, including tight cramped areas on platforms and some local watering holes and large public areas in our local seaside town of Whitby! 

We will have live music during the evenings ready to entertain you all after a long day of dancing, and there will also be a bar with a large variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. "

It's on the sign-up sheet, you know what to do!

Wimborne Minster Folk Festival - 7-9th June. Can dance Sat (10-5) or Sun (1030-5), or both - given distance I would suggest going for the whole weekend (takes about 3 hours to get there). We had an invite for this last year, but it clashed with Beverley/St Albans weekend. I think both Judith and her partner spoke to Becky about going when we we were at Sidmouth, so can count it as an invite off the back of Sidmouth! 

Have a good week and see some of you on Thursday!

Hannah :)
