Thanks for all of this Hannah, In case it's useful for everyone to know I'd be up for getting group travel and accommodation for Katherine's wedding and I'm happy to take a whole or half day off for travel to DERT. Thanks for sharing the Mari Lwyd link. Not sure I explained it very well on Monday but basically it's a short pub crawl (starting at one of our favourites - the very eccentric The Boot) with two songs at each place (optional joining in) followed by a short Welsh ceilidh. It's all free with a retiring collection so please come along if you can! Ffion x Sent from my iPad On 10 Jan 2017, at 21:46, Hannah Norman <hannahruthnorman(a)gmail.com> wrote: Happy New Year! We raised an amazing £275.69 for the Trussell Trust on our Christmas Crawl - a record breaking amount! So well done everyone - going to have to work hard to beat that this year! Keep an eye out for more info on the crawl on Thursday and any changes to venue for the Sunday practice. So business in no particular order... 1. Day of Dance 2. Sign-ups 3. Katherine's Wedding!! 4. DERT travel 1. Day of Dance - I've added 2 possible dates for this onto the sign-up sheet, as there isn't much point inviting a team to a day of dance with us unless we actually have a team... So, could you all please check your diaries for 6th and 21st May and fill in the sign-up sheet. We haven't yet decided on a team to invite (any suggestions welcome) - on this, I have quite a large flat so would be willing and able to put a team up if they were coming from further away and so needed/wanted to stay over (unless they are huge and have a lot of groupies). 2. Sign-ups - we have a few events with some no-replies (including me on some...), but hopefully now that it's 2017 we all should have a slightly better idea of our own commitments now that Christmas isn't in the way. Could I ask everyone to double check that they have put some form of response to everything on there (even a maybe). In particular could you have a quick look at 13th May Tredegar, as if we have a team for this Ffion will need to do some leg work... 3. Katherine's Wedding - For those that are definitely coming it is probably worth starting to think about things like travel and accommodation... I know it's still a while away, but train tickets will soon be available and there will be lots of other people wanting to book accommodation. I think there is a discount on group bookings... so we could look at doing a mass booking altogether. I will look into trains shortly, but if people could think about when they might like to travel etc. 4. DERT travel - Again, tickets will soon be starting to become available (still waiting on the advance tickets at the mo) - so if you could start thinking about when you would like to travel up / what time you might like to arrive. I know some people like to take half a day or a day off and travel up during the day at their leisure and some people would rather save their holiday for other things and so will travel after work. If you could start thinking about which category you are likely to fall into we can start trying to work out how to group people for the best possible prices... :) 5.
