[Tower Ravens] Merry Christmas and next years plans!

Hello everyone, Thanks to everyone who was free yesterday, we had a nice half a practice followed by drinking copious amounts of prosecco! That's it for practices, so enjoy your time off and we'll meet again next year, Monday 7th Jan. Plans for next year: Thank you everyone for filling in the doodle polls so quickly, I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you. As some of you know, Ffion was going to lead on Westerhope but has now been offered a job in Cardiff and is due to move end of Feb time. She was going to dance, so this has skewed the numbers a little and taken more brain power from me! The plan is still to have Ffion leading for the first couple of months, and then Westerhope will be left in the hands of Jo, probably with experienced helping hands of Rachel and Hannorah (as long as that's ok!). Having not seen everyone in one place I simply haven't been able to talk to everyone properly, but this plan should mean the dance is all planned out by the time Ffion leaves and then it's just a case of neatening it up. Teams: Piccadilly will inc. Emma, Hannah N, Laura, Katherine and me. I am keen for there to be understudies, especially as I contribute a dodgy knee! Westerhope: Rachel, Hannorah, Ellie, Tori, Hannah TD as the main set, 6th dancer yet to be decided. People have various commitments next year so I'm not 100% sure who will be 6th person. This could be the tommy, or a Piccadilly person, or someone who isn't dancing in either set but is coming to DERT. (Clare, as far as I know you couldn't dance with us in Trad as you'll be entering with Warwick?? Dates: Please let me know asap if any of these dates don't work for you. Day Practices Sunday 27th January: both teams (Laura can you check your hall for availability?) Saturday 23rd Feb: Piccadilly (Hannah N to check church hall) Saturday 2nd March: Westerhope (Hannah N to check church hall). If necessary we could have a final day practice 30th/31st March for both teams. (Hannah and Laura check availability but don't book, we will discuss in New Year). Crawls Again, please let me know asap if any of these dates don't work. Hannah and Martin, I've assumed you're available as nothing filled in other than a note about March. Thursday 17th January: Both teams Thursday 31st January: Westerhope Friday 1st February: Piccadilly Friday 8th February: Piccadilly Thursday 21st February: Piccadilly Thursday 28th February: Westerhope Thursday 7th March: Westerhope Thursday 14th March: Piccadilly Thursday 21st March: Westerhope Thursday 28th March: Piccadilly Martin I know this is particularly intensive for musicians, please confirm if this sounds ok and please check these and the practice dates with Will. Laura if you can run these dates by Paul to see if he will be able to join us. Sorry this is so late in the year, please, PLEASE PLLLLEEEAASSSEEE check now rather than later that these dates are all ok, especially if you were a maybe. Merry Christmas everyone, lots of love.
