Re: [Tower Ravens] Saturday - Chingford Wassail

Hey Lindsey Some quite amazing pant finds - nice one! I also noticed these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fashion-Sexy-Girls-Clubwear-Costumes-Sequin-Hotpa… - Really love these, but see what you mean about petticoats getting stuck on the sequins, so may be not the best idea. These are cheaper, not sequined and if you scroll along the colour options there's a blue and black pair that look very raveny: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/French-Maid-Lace-Ruffle-Hot-Pant-Boy-Short-Pantie… Back in my Irish dancing days we used to wear 'kick pants', so I did a search for those and came up with these bad boys: http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/88195311/custom-order-spankies?ref=related-7 - totally my favourites! Dunno if she'd ship to the UK though. Cheap and straight forward (but could be customised): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lycra-Knickers-Ideal-for-under-skirts-etc-for-mod… Then I found these (but felt a bit pervy looking at them): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNISEX-LYCRA-MATALIC-MAID-KNICKERS-FANCY-DRESS-TV… Final suggestion is we make our own from a fabric like this, that's not as sticky as proper sequins: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMALL-DOT-CONFETTI-SEQUIN-FABRIC-25-Colors-SOLD-BTY… I know we've (mainly Sue and you) got enough on with making other bits of outstanding kit - so may be not the best idea.

Not free this afternoon for petticoat help I'm afraid Lindsey, similarly my sewing skills are so bad I'd be approximately no help. But thank you for trying, obviously do not stress about getting it done, worst comes to worst I'll dance without one. Can I check that we reckon we'll definitely be able to dance? Just with it being a long way I'm actually a bit concerned about getting back again, if we can't dance it seems like a long way to be trekking around. Lindsey can I get your number in case I can't find the house? As it stands I'll assume we're all going ahead and I'll get to your house before 7. Looking forward to seeing you all!

I'll be leaving here at around 7. It's a 2 min walk from the tube station to my house (47 whymark av). Feel free to just ring for directions when you pop up. Currently I'm just expecting Becky. I will then be heading past stations at around 7.30. I could probably detour past chingford etc for a 730-745 pickup there.

She's busy elsewhere tonight and won't be able to make it. Hannorah, if you could drive over after seeing your parents off, we'd be very grateful! I suggest everybody else travels either on their own bat or using Lindsey's offer of lifts, simply so that we are all there as early as possible. We still have plenty of dancers - two extras - so we ought to be able to still dance if absolutely necessary. (I've done 4 in practice a couple of times, could probably do it again with a walkthrough beforehand...). But let's hope Hannorah can make it and that's not needed! Looking forward to seeing you all tonight. I think it should be a really good evening.

Hope that's alright. (Sorry I didn't see Sinead's email before sending mine last night) I will be driving, so will be able to give 3 (or at a push 4) people a lift a nearby station afterwards, before hopping onto the M25.

The parents love Morris, but plan to drive home mid-evening - in the opposite direction - so aren't going to have time to come to the Wassail. Sadly their visit will also eat into my travel time making it pretty unlikely I'll arrive at anything like a decent time, if at all. As they so rarely come down to mine, I don't really want to hurry them off, so Sinead - it would be great if you could dance 4. Sorry - & have fun!

(What do your parents think of Morris dancing Hannorah.....you can always bring them along ), the more the merrier. Town Mead itself is a social club next to the sports field. (To get there by car you have to go through a small industrial estate so don't worry if your sat nav sends you along a road that looks like it's going no-where. There is a bar and there will be a bit of a buffet for everyone to tuck into. There will be some dancing from Chingford, from the Ravens if you can, from the Lithuanian group (if they can make it), and also songs / music from any other people that come along with instruments or a voice. So if any of you feel like playing or singing please bring your instruments. I will be going from Chingford, possibly getting a lift or by Taxi, so if anyone else is planning to come via Chingford please let me know and I'm sure we'll be able to share lifts.

It's a sort of village hall place, so I'm expecting the odd dance with lots of drinking/socialising round the edges. But I'm not 100% sure either. I hope you can make it, but Sinead is also signed up, so we might be able to cope without you if necessary.

It's looking likely my parents will be visiting so there's a chance I might not be able to make it, but didn't want to leave us short of dancers if I pull out.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Chingford Wassail on Saturday. I'm expecting Becky, Ffion, Hannorah, Jo, Katherine, Lindsey, Rachel, Sinead, and maybe Josie and Laura F (can you two let us know if you're planning on coming?). The wassail starts at 7.30pm and is at Town Mead, Waltham Abbey, postcode EN9 1DE. Unfortunately trains aren't running to the closest station due to works. TfL suggests getting either the National Rail to Chingford and then the bus, or the central line to Loughton and then the bus. Lindsey or Hannorah, are either of you planning to drive? Lifts to and from stations might be a useful thing to organise if so. I've attached the Chingford directions sheet. Let me know if anybody needs any more information, otherwise see you all on Saturday! Happy (nearly) 2014!
