Hi,

Bad news (maybe) - I may have re-broken my hand. I've managed to get an emergency GP appointment today but it isn't until 6:00 and it's out in Thamesmead so I doubt I will make practice. I will let you know the result - I may now be a 'no' for this week's crawl.

On another more positive note - I was going to mention this tonight - I was supposed to be going to see Gilmore & Roberts (www.gilmoreroberts.co.uk if you haven't heard of them) with an old uni friend but she can't make it any more. Would anyone be interested in coming with me? It's 7:30 doors for 8:30 start on Tues 2nd Oct at Green Note in Camden. I think there may still be some tickets available if more than 1 person is interested, they're only Ł11 with booking fee. I'll do first come first served so if you want the ticket, let me know!

- Kat

I'm planning to come to Tenterden. I altered the spreadsheet some time ago.

Subject: [Tower Ravens] Plan for next 3 weeks

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who came to practice last night - enough for 2 sets again - and congrats to our new tumblers and double tumblers!

Lindsey asked how long we've got left to perfect the new dance before Thrales days (invitations will be sent this week apparently) and the answer is 7 weeks. However, 1 week is our open practice week and another we'll need to spend mostly on making sure everything's looking good ahead of Tenterden.

Below is the plan for the next 3 weeks. You'll see that I'd like to experiment with having 7 people in the set at the end of the new dance which means we need a Betty! Would anyone like to volunteer? Similarly, if anyone would like to have a go at Tommying let me know. I don't think Sue can come to Tenterden so it would be good to have one or two more people willing to do a bit of shouting at the crowds! ALSO, a reminder that we need more teachers! I feel bad having to ask people to teach who don't necessarily want to do it, but I can't be in two places at once!
