Hello all,

1. Clog
2. Cake and gift next week
3. AGM

1. Big thank you to everyone who came for all their hard work last night. I don't know about you but my brain felt like mush after concentrating that hard! I hope everyone will be back next week - no point learning half of it - and can everyone make sure they practice in the mean time!? I know we're not going to appear being flawless next week but I expect everyone to know the first half of the dance so it isn't a case of not being sure what comes next.

Ffion if you could send the video round when you get a chance that'd be great - I'm still not sure I'm getting the timing right for the 5th step 😐 

2. ALSO does anyone know a decent vegan cake shop/recipe and would like to provide next week?? I only have Sunday off this week so not sure I'll manage a go/it would be terrible, but it'd be nice to provide one for Kate as she's going out of her way to help us. ALSO, she hasn't made any mention of payment, but I think we should buy her a gift - I would suggest a half- decent red wine or some sort of gin (possibly too expensive). Anyone have any other ideas??

3. Finally can people consider when they want the next AGM? Traditionally we have it after Thrales day but 2016 was earlier as Katherine actively knew she wanted to step down and it made sense for DERT prep. Do people want it to be about a year? In which case I think we'd need to consider calling it? Or back to the November date? I'll bring this up at the next practice, if you won't be there but feel strongly please just get in touch.

Thanks all, happy practicing. Oh if you're not clogging STILL practice your stepping 😊
