Hi All,
Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend, and hopefully no one forgot
it was bank holiday Monday yesterday... though to help with your rapper
withdrawal symptoms, we have a *crawl this Thursday* - watch out for info
coming soon.
*Upcoming events:*
*Faversham* - Sunday 2nd September, see the Faversham email and let me know
if you have any queries / would like me to buy you a train ticket / are
driving and haven't yet told me your reg plate number if you want to use
the free parking.
*Bromyard* - We will be dancing both days, I just don't know the details
yet beyond the workshop and ceilidh spot. As soon as I know more, I'll pass
it on. If you haven't yet let me know about whether or not you'd be there
in time for the Friday night procession, please add it to the sign-up
sheet. More Bromyard info in the Bromyard email, and I'll provide updates
next week/when I have them.
*Sign-ups/New Invites:*
*Belgium,* this is looking to be a no, unless Emma, Katherine and Rachel
are all super-keen... hint hint. If so, we can try to find a musician, but
I think it unlikely we'll be going this time.
*Dance on the Moor - *25-27th May 2019, Goathland. Goathland Plough Stots
are hosting a Festival of Dance (possibly a crawl via Steam Train?!), looks
to mostly be sword teams invited, so should be good (Goathland Plough
Stots, Mons Meg (I think), Southport Sword, High Spen, Sheffield Steel,
Saddleworth Morris) . Accommodation - offer of indoor camping at the
Community hub, along with space for tents. Alternatively B&B's or hotels,
if you prefer in the village:
"We will be working alongside the North Yorkshire Moore’s Steam Railway
which runs in-between Pickering and Whitby, with a station in Goathland
itself. This will hopefully allow us to offer the opportunity for a wider
range of dancing locations, including tight cramped areas on platforms and
some local watering holes and large public areas in our local seaside town
of Whitby!
We will have live music during the evenings ready to entertain you all
after a long day of dancing, and there will also be a bar with a large
variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. "
It's on the sign-up sheet, you know what to do!
*Wimborne Minster Folk Festival* - 7-9th June. Can dance Sat (10-5) or Sun
(1030-5), or both - given distance I would suggest going for the whole
weekend (takes about 3 hours to get there). We had an invite for this last
year, but it clashed with Beverley/St Albans weekend. I think both Judith
and her partner spoke to Becky about going when we we were at Sidmouth, so
can count it as an invite off the back of Sidmouth!
Have a good week and see some of you on Thursday!
Hannah :)
