Hello all,

1. crawl

2. AGM

3. Declined dance around the world fest

4. Laura Ws wedding

5. Northgate DoD

6. Ceilidh spots in September

1. Firstly thanks to everyone who came on the crawl and danced, collected etc. Big thank you to Hannah for organising it all and sorry we had so many disruptions (punch ups, negative pubs etc)! Overall we made £110.86, not as much as normal but not bad for 6 pubs and without Sue doing her normal great work :)

2. First of all I would like to call our AGM for the 12th September, I know this is earlier than usual but we feel it will give any new committee members a longer time to prepare for DERT as changing in November can potentially cut it a bit fine. If you are unable to attend please let me know by next weeks practice, as I can reschedule if necessary, but as we need a months notice I would rather not do it too much later on! For anyone who hasn't attended before, and for any reason can't make this one, please note points of discussion will be shared in advance and any points you have can be sent ahead, as well as being able to raise any concerns you may have.

3. Secondly we have declined the invitation to the Cecil Sharp dance around the world festival, we weren't getting anywhere with a team and, with Laura's wedding the day before, most people were rather reluctant to do two events in a row. I have asked her to think of us in the future though!

4. Laura's Wedding- just waiting on accommodation confirmation which we should get this week. As far as the day goes a vote was taken for a relaxed afternoon and meal in Chilham, followed by a small pub crawl (there are three pubs!) culminating in laura's wedding :)

5. 29th October Northgate day of dance: Laura S or Hannorah, can either of you make it? If so I can accept the invite. Plan is meet at 11 to start dancing at 12, finish at a final pub at 5 where everyone will do one last dance. Northgate aren't supplying food but say the last pub does serve food. If we want to stay over we just need to ask Silverflame but if we are doing that we probably can't decide too late on.

6. If you haven't replied please consider the dates of September ceilidh spots so I can confirm whether or not we can make it!
