I like a lot of your responses, but you have got #2 wrong :)

I would say instead:

"The team started because there were no other female teams in London.  The nearest South East women's team was Mabel Gubbins in Oxford, which was too far for Londoners to travel.  Thrales had held workshops here in London, which women would attend, but there was nothing for them to join in with afterwards.  Simon Vaughan (of Thrales) and Kat Macaulay had a list of women who would be potentially interested in joining a women's rapper team, but nothing had happened.

In 2012, three friends Lindsey Kennedy, Nicola Osborne and Rachel Sheridan, who had all recently moved to London, decided to see if there was sufficient interest to get a side off the ground.  Advertising heavily at DERT 2012 (which was in London), and supplemented by the contacts from Simon and Kat, they held an initial meeting of interest in a local pub.  This meeting being well attended, they then set up a regular practice.  Thrales lent us some swords to get us started and the rest is history!

We have many of the original members in the team still and it is really down to them that we have survived and developed as well as we have."

I was considering bringing my camera on Thursday anyway, so I'll try and remember to charge the battery.  Can't promise to take good photos though! ;)

Hello all,


The Nut are running a team profile of us and have sent us a few questions to answer. I've given them a bash but am very happy for people to give their own input as this is a representation of all of us and I've rather speedily typed this out. In particular if I've got 2 totally wrong please let me know (I wasn't here!!). I'll bring a printout of these to practice if it's easy for people to add/cross out there, I just don't want to waste time on it at business.


Also we need to prove 3 good photos, has anyone got any preferences? Would it be possible for someone to bring a half decent camera on Thursday?


Thanks,


Becky
