 David Sugarman's Salsa Newsletter

  The deranged ramblings of a salsa wannabe.
  His continuing mission: To seek out new shines and new syncopations …



¡Hola!

Justyna and Bruce

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.


Let's get ready to Rumba!
David

 Newsletter Features
 

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.

Warning

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.
