We're really pleased to hear the JMO wholly condemning the appropriation of morris dancing for white supremacist purposes. There is no room for hate in folk

A message from our friends and sponsors at Nottingham Folk Dance Group
NFDG isn't on. But even if we're not meeting in person, we're still a community. We're not a group of dancers who have become friends - we are a group of friends who happen to dance. And that we will stay, even if the dancing is on hold for a few weeks.

Attention all people with cars - Are you free to give someone a lift to East Midlands Airport for 4pm? If so, please get in touch with front desk
We’ve been asked by Charlotte from York to thank the kind person who gave her a blanket when she was sleeping. It’s been handed in to front desk now so collect it when you’re free :)

ROOM CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
We’re anticipating tonight’s bal being very popular so we’ve decided to swap venues for the the bal and the late night dancing. Late night dancing will now be in SH2 (upstairs, the green one) and the bal will be in SH1 (the big one downstairs)

CHANGE TO THE (PRINT) PROGRAMME
The Scottish dance tonight with Edmund McIntosh and Christ Dewhurst and his Scottish Country Dance Band will be starting at 6pm and not 7pm as in the programme. Tell your friends!
This dance has been sponsored by @rscdsdancescot

Attention societies! We currently only have two teams down for the display ceilidh :(
Please sign up at the *front desk* to show us something your society does that can be performed in trainers/soft-soled shoes. It doesn't have to be polished and it can be as silly as you like
Can you help?
A car bringing morris dancers from Glasgow has been involved in an accident. Everyone is fine but the dancers/musicians in the car may now not be able to make it to IVFDF.
If you're coming from Scotland to IVFDF and have space for passengers, please get in touch!
IVFDF 2020 starts this evening!
Our wonderful stewards will be your first port of call and able to answer most of your questions during the festival but if you need a member of the committee for anything, here we are:

IVFDF 2020 is tomorrow! We know, we can't quite believe it either...
IVFDF veterans - what would you recommend a first time IVFDF goer should pack?

We think it's lovely that our sponsors @NCT_Buses are celebrating #WorldBookDay by offering a free bus ticket if you show your book to the driver while boarding! This is what we'll be reading today - what about you?

In 48 hours, ticket collection will be open at the Lee Westwood Sports Centre on @TrentUni 's Clifton Campus! We're really looking forward to IVFDF - a weekend packed full of music, dance and joy for students and students at heart alike! See you very soon!

Update from @NCT_Buses - due to bridge closure, the 48 bus can't serve The Meadows between 10pm-6am - diverting via Trent Bridge & Wilford Lane to reach Clifton. Buses to the city not affected so shouldn't affect getting from NTU to sleeping venues/city centre

We advise everyone at IVFDF to follow #NHS guidance & wash their hands regularly.
We can't provide hand sanitiser for all but official guidance is that soap & water is preferable. Appropriate soap will be provided - feel free to bring your own hand gel!

The final local business we'll be working with is the Hope Cafe in Clifton! They have offered us lots of discounts on the Saturday, are able to cater for all dietary requirements and have free wifi!

Calling all folk societies!
Don't forget to send 2 reps to the reps' meeting at 12pm on Saturday - it's a really great opportunity to have your say in shaping the future of IVFDF! Come ready to have opinions, discuss and vote!

Very interesting thread on why handwashing is so important to prevent the spread of #coronavirus. Maybe at IVFDF 2020, we can vary “Happy birthday” with some folk tunes - “Mairi’s Wedding”, anyone?
#handwashing #singing #folkmusic
If you fancy some pub grub while at IVFDF, head to the Crusader, where we’ve been offered a free bottle of soft drink with anything from the pub classics menu and a lager or cider (Fosters, Strongbow or John Smiths) with a burger for £6.50!

We’re immensely grateful to Munchbox in Clifton - not only are they offering us 20p off all cobs, sandwiches and panini and 50p off all plated breakfasts but they are also extending their usual opening hours for us!
