Wind her away, keep turnin'

[venta]

A quick advert: a few times, people have said to me that they'd love to try rapper dancing, but that they're a bit scared because they're never done anything like it and they'll be crap. At the moment we have a few new people starting with Mabel Gubbins, and at least one of them has never even seen rapper dancing before. So, if you're female[*], and in Oxfordshire-ish, and you've ever thought you might like to give it a try, now would be a really great time - we'll[**] be teaching everything from the absolute basics.

Practices are Tuesday evenings 8pm - 9pm for beginners (hardcore Mabels stay til 10pm), in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.


[*] If you're male, and in Londonish, try Thrales. They're very welcoming of beginners. I can try and offer suggestions of other teams if neither of these suits.
[**] Where by "we" I apparently mean "I" - think I blinked at a critical moment at the AGM :(

Out of interest, do you have any members who pronounce it not as written?

(Interested to know how well or not it's being preserved. When I was at school with people from there it was "bri'llumso'll", I'm told that before that it was just "bri'll" - with a hint of a t but no more.)

You're stars! Six-pronged ones in fact. The photo that graces your website shows a window that may have been the one I sat behind with some fellow students, not entirely sober, as we worked out that the room that we were in was the centre of the Universe.
