Hello all, Post-DERT we are back to the dancing! Absences - not 100% sure where we are with these. *Clare* I'm assuming you're not here. *Rachel* not sure whether you're here or not? Same to *Hannorah* I don't know what your attendance plan going forward is. *Rachel-Anne* I'm aware of you having lots of deadlines? If you see this please let me know if you're there or not it makes my life easier! 7-7.30 we'll do clog. I haven't managed to get hold of Thrales swords, they're having to have their AGM at a later date due to a number of absences, so hopefully we can try shorter swords then. I also haven't brought the new swords just due to how much I was carrying - we need to decide what we want to do with them anyway. I probably need to assemble a new mighty list of who can do what. I'd like to crack on with cementing jubilee and westerhope for Fliss, Miriam and Clare to make sure they can start regularly dancing out asap. I'd also like to get Ellie and Hannah TD back in Piccadilly, but maybe after this practice as we'll be performing the altered preggers version of Piccadilly at my wedding. I don't want to take the lead on chain (being totally unqualified) but would like to start getting this into practices regularly, prioritise the westerhope set but also adding in others so that as many people as possible can do the move! I'd also like to filter tumbling in some more. I don't want to spend loads of time per practice but having it going on in the background might be a good idea. Once the bank holidays are over the focus will be Warwick and Whitby streamlined. Thanks, Becky _______________________________________________ Tower Raven's mailing list team(a)towerravens.org.uk
