¡Hola!

Justyna and Bruce

I'm sorry about the delay in sending out the Newsletter this week.

I've been busy in my new job and have also been rushing down to Southampton for the Kizomba lessons. This batch of lessons are now over and I found the whole thing enjoyable, if demanding.

I'm keen to book the Salsa and Kizomba weekender at Pakefield in the summer. And I must try to find additional Kizomba lessons beforehand.

On the subject of weekenders, I'm glad to some money again :-)

I've been looking at Heidi's Guernsey Liberation Day weekender in May and Salsa Kingdom's Southport weekender.

The full Newsletter can be found here www.davidsugarman.co.uk/news.html.

I now cover 123 active clubs.

Club news…

• Salsa Swindon have moved their Tuesday night club to The Spot, Old Town, Swindon
• The Garden, High Wycombe is now run by Stan and Perry and moves to Tuesday nights.

We've gained some clubs…

• Tuesdays, Fordingbridge Social Club
• Tuesdays, The Methodist Church Hall, Liphook
• Wednesdays, The Sportsman, Reading
• Thursdays, Steep Village Hall, Petersfield
• Fridays, Old Woking Recreation Club
• Saturdays, Sandown Sports Club, Esher

And we've lost some…

• Fridays, Lodge, St Ebbes, Oxford

The Parties section now links each party to my on-line website where the full details, the links to the organisers and to Facebook can be found. Let me know if you have any comments.

After asking about advertising on the website I've now added Google Ads to the web pages at www.davidsugarman.co.uk. Hopefully, any revenue will help pay for hosting and software.

I've realised that many people don't understand how to use the useful News feeds (Atom / RSS) or Calendar feeds (iCal). So, I've prepared a Netvibes page that collects together all of the information I produce. Click here for David's page.

If you see a warning triangle against a club it's because

• I've not been able to track down a website for the organisers
• In a couple of rare cases, the organisers have cancelled events with little warning

Listings are available on-line - starting at www.davidsugarman.co.uk.

 The complete listing of weekly salsa clubs can be found here. The clubs, sorted by organiser, can be found here. Here's a random club as an example.

 These are approximate times and distances to clubs in the area and to weekenders from central Reading. Your mileage may vary!
