Hey y'all
I am really sorry I couldn't make practice this week, the mountain of work
carried me away with it (only just emerged from it). I hope you got some
useful work done on Westerhope.
Now for some exciting admin:
*1. Day of Dance.* Unless anyone lets me know they object, we will invite
Sliver Flame to dance with us. I am only planning to invite one team. There
has been mixed response to the suggested dates so I reckon trying
to coordinate with 1 other team will be much easier than 2. It also means
there will be more chance for both teams to dance.
*2. Practices **21st Dec*- Is anyone available for this practice? If
so, how about a social chat/food in the church instead?
*28th Dec*- NO practice
*4th Jan*- There will be practice. From the doodle poll responses I reckon
we should have a team obviously if your availability changes let me know.
*11th Jan-* Ru's follow up stepping practice.
*3. Summer!*We talked at the AGM about wanting to get some
festival bookings over the summer. However, to do this we need to be in
contact with people and 'seen' by organisers and teams (in both a literal
and figurative sense).
To this end, I've put together some festivals we can invite ourselves to
(Chippenham, Ossett and Potties) and some we could dance at as an uninvited
team. Please have a look at the dates/events and let me know what you
think, *a response (of any kind) will be really useful *in deciding which
of these it would be worth targeting.
This is also a working progress, I'm still investigating festivals and if
you have any ideas or events you think should be added to the list don't
hesitate to let me know :)

Hi Katherine
Although it would be great to get to know Silver Flame, I feel uneasy about inviting them
in preference to any side who has been generous enough to invite us to their events, eg
Thrales, Northgate and Black Swan (DERT), Mabel Gubbins and Sheffield Steel. I see the
point in inviting relatively nearby teams, but that includes Northgate, Thrales and
Mabels.

Hi Sue
There are several reasons I think we should invite Silver Flame. On the
whole we do not see a lot of other rapper teams over the course of a year,
with Thrales and Mabel's being the only other teams we see multiple times.
I think we are therefore isolated in terms of the styles we see and the
people we know. I think it would be good for us all to see a
team we wouldn't normally get a chance to see, particularly female.
I think we should use our day of dance as an opportunity to meet new teams
rather than fall into the cycle of only associating with a select group. I
also think it would be really good to support the rarity that is another
Southern female rapper team.
The only team that has specifically invited us to dance at their event is
Sheffield Steel and they are too far away for just a day of dance. The
others we volunteer ourselves to join in with. Thrales often support us and
we do the same for them due to the close connections, we can also invite
them to crawl with us any month (and we previously have).
Martin has supported us and it would therefore be nice to one year invite
Northgate to dance, however as our first event I would really like to
invite a team we are not connected to. I know I wouldn't expect Ravens to
be invited if I had been going along to Northgate crawls. I know Edwin
supports us online but he supports all teams and all rapper. Northgate
would be my second choice so if you still think it would be better, and
people generally agree, I am not aversed to inviting them.
Kx
P.S. I don't think we should go for 2 teams as I think 3 teams on one tour
is too much.

Good points, Katherine. Thanks for taking the trouble to explain them so fully.
Your call anyway
