Hi folks, Thought some of you might be interested in these nights, been to a couple now and were fantastic. Every 2 months 2 bands play high quality music at Letham Village Hall, in Fife which provides a stage for local talent. At each event, the ‘Clap and Tipple’ bar has a fine selection of beer, wines, soft drinks and snacks which are as far as possible locally sourced, organic and/or fair trade. Room for dancing too. See http://letham.org.uk/lethamnights/for more details.

30 11 2012Dear Salseros ! I have vouchers for Azul Wasi if anyone wants an alternative xmas gift for someone. I also have a voucher for a 10 week beginners salsa class with me (£30). Some people have also had a Christmas card money collection at work instead of buying each other xmas cards & purchased a voucher instead to help the project. The voucher list & prices can be located under the charities icon on this site, underneath the Azul Wasi photos. Email sarahbrox@gmail.com if you want a voucher, I can post them out if needed or bring them to class. Vouchers are also on sale all year round too.
