Hi All Happy new year! Can I just check, are we dancing on Saturday or just going for the fun? It's looking likely my parents will be visiting so there's a chance I might not be able to make it, but didn't want to leave us short of dancers if I pull out. Cheers H Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ Tower Raven's mailing list team(a)towerravens.org.uk

Yes, definitely lots of drinking and a dance or two from the Ravens if you can. (What do your parents think of Morris dancing Hannorah.....you can always bring them along 😊), the more the merrier. Town Mead itself is a social club next to the sports field. (To get there by car you have to go through a small industrial estate so don't worry if your sat nav sends you along a road that looks like it's going no-where. There is a bar and there will be a bit of a buffet for everyone to tuck into. There will be some dancing from Chingford, from the Ravens if you can, from the Lithuanian group (if they can make it), and also songs / music from any other people that come along with instruments or a voice. So if any of you feel like playing or singing please bring your instruments. I will be going from Chingford, possibly getting a lift or by Taxi, so if anyone else is planning to come via Chingford please let me know and I'm sure we'll be able to share lifts.

I hope you can make it, but Sinead is also signed up, so we might be able to cope without you if necessary.

Hi all, Just had a chat with Josie on the phone. She's busy elsewhere tonight and won't be able to make it. Hannorah, if you could drive over after seeing your parents off, we'd be very grateful! I suggest everybody else travels either on their own bat or using Lindsey's offer of lifts, simply so that we are all there as early as possible. We still have plenty of dancers - two extras - so we ought to be able to still dance if absolutely necessary. (I've done 4 in practice a couple of times, could probably do it again with a walkthrough beforehand...). But let's hope Hannorah can make it and that's not needed!

Just with it being a long way I'm actually a bit concerned about getting back again, if we can't dance it seems like a long way to be trekking around.

Lots of people on the list without kit, so it looks as if a lot of sharing will be necessary. Many apologies - I'm frantic for time at the moment and can't see a realistic way of sewing much kit for at least the next couple of weeks, if not more. Lindsey may have been able to make a petticoat. Many thanks to her for kindly offering to help. As things stand atm I might get there tomorrow, but everything is up in the air. If I make it, I'll have Aisha's and my kit with me, possibly a bit of Becky's sash and maybe one for Patrick. I'll also be driving, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make any commitment in advance. And I have no idea if I'll be there on Monday either. Sorry to be such a pain and hope that things will become clearer tomorrow, when my daughter is due to go into hospital to have the baby induced. Has any decision been made about extra practices? Happy New Year to you all. Really looking forward to exciting times ahead.

We do still have a full team (Hannorah said that she would try to make it and Sinead's a yes and Josie a maybe), so it should be okay. If we have to swap kit around between ourselves it's not the end of the world. And if we spend more time drinking and socialising than actually dancing, then it'll still be fun a fun night out. Sue - looking into extra practices for DERT and we hope to be able to confirm soon. The better people are about signing up, the more useful it'll be! Ffion - let's have a chat sometime soon about dates regarding DERT. Can discuss tomorrow, but I'm generally around after work next week - or in the pub on Monday?
