I'm afraid Patrick can't do next Thursday. At a previous AGM we discussed ways of
recruiting new musicians. We decided we didn't want to advertise publicly for a
musician because it would be difficult to turn people away if they weren't good
enough. We also thought the most likely way of finding someone would be asking friends of
friends. That obviously hasn't worked very well (or we haven't tried hard
enough).
As we have a specific event next week we need someone for could we use this as an
opportunity to put a shout out on social media for musicians? We could say it's a one
off need, so we wouldn't be obliged to ask them to do anything again if it didn't
go well. It would obviously be good if they could pop along on Monday to check they really
can play jigs fast and well enough. I'm happy to put some posts in some London folk
music groups this weekend if we think it's worth a try.

Hello all,
Kate's struggling time-wise with the new job so won't be able to make this Monday
(27th) or Monday 18th December - is anyone able to cover this? (In particular wondering
about Martin as then we don't lose a dancer).
***we currently have no musician for Thursday's crawl***
Neither Kate nor Martin are free so if we want to crawl we need someone else. Has anyone
got any ideas? Ffion I don't know if Pat would be up for it?
Going forward I think we need to look for someone who can provide a reasonable amount of
cover for Kate as it looks like the reality is that long hours are going to make it very
difficult for her to be in London in time for all practices and crawls. Martin does a
great job of covering but ideally we need someone who wants to be part of the team.
We'll discuss this on Monday - rack your brains if you have any bright ideas!
Thanks,
Becky
