Hello everybody
It seems that the following men will definitely be at the men's dance on 10th June: Richard D, Clive, Phil N, Ben, Andrew and myself. That's six of us definite and, of course, all other men are welcome to come along too.
There has been talk of a core group who would take responsibility and make key decisions. I am not very supportive of this approach. I would rather say that everyone who turns up makes the decisions to avoid a potential us and them situation, especially in these early days.
We do need to make some basic decisions about 10th June such as who's bringing the music … Clive had offered for May so maybe he will also offer for June? The structure which has been emerging over the last few meetings has been as follows:
All times approximate and subject to change ….
7:30 to 7:50 Warm up and welcome dance to music ….
7:50 to 8:00 Quick agreement about timing for rest of the evening and anything else which needs to be spoken at this stage.
8:00 to 8:45 Dance /movement to music 8:45 to 9:25 Share
9:25 to 9:30 Closing circle
Shall we go with this?

hello all thanks for the gathering and posting Laurence. Ive let go of the idea of a core organising group as I have of future dates. theres already been some 'us and them'. to 'who will do music' I am adding ... who will hold the 10th of june? perhaps I missed something else.. but ive heard some say theyd like to know whos holding.. I do hope we can soon vary the whole structure and include many kinds of things. while acknowledging many mens wish for clear familiar structure the person holding and the group itself on the night both need a degree of freedom around order and time .. and don't we need challenge and change as much as comfort adios

That seems fine to me as a basic structure for 10th.
There was an e mail from Clive saying he is willing to hold space and bring music and he is going to put a post to that effect on the forum.
So all well.
Richard

Thanks Richard I thought I had done this already, but to confirm I’m happy to bring music and hold group on 10th. When I did similar in March, however, we were missing a lead to connect my iPhone to the speakers, so please can someone bring one of these? Love and believe Clive

Hi fellas not sure if this will show up on the right thread. I won't be able to make the 29th of July as I have another commitment. As I was asked to arrange the August date I was looking at my calendar and the 19th looks as good as any for the next dance. What do people think?

Hi Phil … I can't make 19th August as I will be away … I'm transferring this information to another thread - dates for July August and September … If there's enough people for 19th then just go ahead … all best Laurence

Hi Clive. I've only just seen your message about the next dance. I have made other arrangements now for the 19th as I didn't see your message. This isn't a very easy way of communicating for me as I don't know how to get notifications from this forum. Sorry I'm not going to make this one as I was looking forward to it. Here's my number if you want to text or call about the next dance or if the date changes could you please let me know. Bless ya, Phil 😊
