Salsa Dundee

BIG thanks to everyone who came last friday to the Latin Quarter social @ the Black Watch Club, we raised £448 for Azul Wasi, which is great. A special thank you to Tania for helping set up and with the classes, to Ann for doing the door and to Angie and Sheila for selling the raffle tickets, to anyone who donated prizes, those of you who came from further afield and to the bar staff and club.

Did anyone leave a black cardigan ? I have it, so message LQsalsadundee@gmail.com to arrange pick up.

A few videos and pics are on facebook, if anyone got other good ones please contact me on email above and email asap if anyone wants a picture/ video removed.

Hope to see you at the next Latin Quarter social @ the Black Watch Club on Friday 21st March.
