Dear all,

Thanks for yesterdays practice - excellent attendance meant we could have two teams the whole time, with people able to be outside the set for teaching!

Summing up we got Ellie and Emily (on her first practice) through the first half of the dance and then did a brief reminder for Ellie for the end of it. At the same time Ffion started teaching a new set of people the Piccadilly dance. I think this might be the pattern we follow for a few weeks meaning any new members have a chance to dance, but can leave after business if they want, and allowing other members to begin to learn Piccadilly.

Second half was spent working on the DERT sets for the main comp and trad. I know it maybe felt like a hazy start but Westerhope was already starting to take shape with people in their new positions. And Piccadilly we experimented with an alternative to needles - which is very like needles but seems to be less like a fight!

We'll continue the good work next week. Any people who know they won't be available on Monday's please let me know.

Special thanks to Nikki for standing is our musician for the next few weeks 😊

See you next week!

Becky
