Three Good things

Anonymous Morris have been asked to do several paid performances on Poole Quay this summer.   This will give our finances some much-needed help.  It's also a great place to dance.  (We're currently at seven dancers and three musicians, but one dancer leaves for university in September, another is from Lichenstein and will have to return at some point, and a third plans to sell his house and go to live on a canal.)  Poole Quay could be a useful recruiting ground.

I've been asked to do two hours a week teaching traditional dances at a school in Poole and possibly an after school club as well.  I'm really looking forward to that.  It will be challenging, but good for me.  And it's paid.

Walford Mill are interested in hiring a maypole for some of their family fun days.

I'm getting better at asking people for sensible amounts of money - all those years of haggling with hotels for conventions has proven of some benefit.

THis is great news! I am sure teaching traditional dances will be good for you - you are a born teacher!
YEs, you deserve a reasonable payment for your good work.
So good luck!
