1. NEW INVITES
a) WICKET BROOD DANCEOUT
We've been invited to dance out with Wicket Brood (a border morris side -
www.wicketbrood.org.uk) at a pub dance out on a summer Tuesday evening. They've given us a choice of Tuesdays, which I have put on the sign up sheet. Do go and have a look and put yourself down for any you can do. They're at various pubs, all to the north of London, and all with reasonably close train stations. Wicket Brood are a lovely side, good fun, and it'd be good to be able to do one of these!
b) CAMDEN CLOG DoD
I've now had confirmation from Thrales that they would appreciate a hand with the workshop. The Day of Dance is Sat 12th April, starting at 10am at Cecil Sharp and finishing around 5pm. The provisional timetable is on their website at
www.camdenclog.org.uk. Thrales would be organising and running the workshop teaching one of their dances. We would be helping explain and demonstrate figures. We do not need a full side for this, but as many people as possible, so do sign up!
c) POST-DERT
I've put the social on the 17th and the EGM on the 24th on the calendar. Sign up to the social, especially, so Nic can organise something fun!

2. REPLIES NEEDED
As mentioned before, I could really do with some more sign ups for the festivals we have invites to this summer, as deadlines are coming up soon! If you know you're around and not signed up, please please do so. I can't accept anything without a side. These are:
a) 7 JUNE 2014 - St Neot’s Folk Festival - an easy relaxed Day of Dance in the town centre with many other sides (including Gogs :)
b) 29 JUNE 2014 - Leigh-on-Sea Folk Festival, Essex - a lovely day out on the Essex coast. Procession, dance spots around the town. Main day or a four day festival.
c) 11-13 JULY 2014 - Sandwich Folk and Ale Festival, Kent - as much of the weekend as we want to go for (either day or both). Good music and food, dancing round the town, discounted festival tickets.
d) 4-5 OCTOBER 2014 - Tenterden Folk Festival, Kent - a lovely day out last year, let's repeat that this year and make it a Ravens fixture! Very laid back and easy, dancing round town in company with other sides.
