Alan and I have great pleasure in inviting you to our 2009 Christmas milonga.  We’ll have the 2 classes as usual and the milonga will start at the normal time BUT we are open until 7.30pm.  So you will have a whole extra hour of Alan’s great music.  On top of that, there will be delicious food, both sweet and savoury and free wine.  If you want to show off your culinary or baking skills and bring something yourself, please do so.  There will also be a free raffle.

If you can’t make this Sunday, let me take this opportunity to wish you a happy Christmas and a great New Year and thank you for supporting us during 2009.  Please see below for details of venue, prices etc.
