I hadn't given it much thought, mostly because cribs are usually
provided to all attendees by the organiser, not by our club for our
members. Home dances are not a problem since we can ensure we've done
all the dances in class.
I could try preparing my own cribs for dances I attend, and distributing
them in our club... but writing cribs isn't something I have much
experience of. Any tips on producing good clear cribs would be
appreciated. (Peter?)
I tend to assume that some care has gone into the production of cribs
provide for a ball. I'd feel a bit rude pulling out my own crib when
one is provided, as rude as taking a my own plate and cutlery to a
restaurant.
What I'd really like is for everyone to understand Pilling...
