And a wee update...

I'm trying to make things a bit easier to see, so crawls have a black heading and non-crawls now have a blue heading to make them easier to spot. Thanks for the suggestion Becky!

I've also declined, Black Diamond DoD, Brighton DoD and Saltburn festival (apparently he is devastated..)

Priddy we don't have the numbers for this year, so that's a no - hopefully another year!

Paddy's night is a no go as they don't want to pay the fee we are asking (same as we were paid last time but they were hoping to only pay half again as it was split between two pubs last time and it isn't fair asking our musicians to do a gig for basically nothing when other gigs are available that night).

Broadstairs - still waiting on a few people to respond to be sure as to whether we could go... should know very soon.

So fewer things to look at and hopefully stuff stands out a bit better. Suggestions for any other improvements to make things easier welcome.

Hi All,

Little update for the week.
Firstly - incredible amount raised on the dilly crawl last week - £242 can we match that next week in the crawls??

I've bought some different sizes of blue safety pants, please do try them on at practice and let me know what size you would like. Would strongly recommend for dancing Piccadilly in particular - might as well make it clear that it was safety pants not bum in the odd accidental popcorn flash! They're pretty cheap as well (< £3).

Westerhope Day Practice in the usual hall 11-5 (I've asked to double check about the extra hour as originally booked 10-4, but am sure it will be fine!).

DERT update
Hopefully you have all sorted out your travel to DERT - please fill in the spreadsheet to let me know whether you are sorted or not (and if you can pop the ticket cost in there too, that will help Emma H tot everything up). There is still one spare ticket on 1803 on the Friday valid with either 16-25 or 26-30 railcard - please let me know asap if you want it! If you can't remember whether we bought one for you already, it will be in there for you to check.

There are now evening tickets on sale if there are any more plus ones lurking - please let me know if they need accommodation.

Sign-ups
We're slowly getting there!
17th March in middle of negotiations around the fee... though they want to pay a lot less than we are willing to do music and dance for, so may not end up doing it. Will update next week

Broadstairs & Priddy - Becky is just reviewing these in terms of numbers, so if you are still a no reply/maybe please look at that asap (I may also chase in person if it makes a difference to her Go/No Go decision).

Can we now turn focus to 5th September - London Folk Festival which we have enjoyed before. And the other key two to decide on are Beverley Fringe (19-21 June) and St Albans Folk Festival (27th June) - if it's one or the other please do say.
Plenty of other things on the sign-up sheet so please do fill those in while you're there!

And finally - the DART fundraising ceilidh planned for 23rd April in C# House with Nick Walden calling!

Thanks,
Hannah
