It would be mostly appreciated if you can confirm your attendance by Wednesday the 28th December since there is some organising to be done. As most of you may know St Augustine Hall requires a more festive atmosphere than it is at present so should any of you be willing to lend me some Christmas decorations kindly let me know so that I can arrange for collection.  On the Thursday 29th December I would also like to have some of you lending us a helping hand to set up the venue. Kindly contact me or my helping hands on Edward Smith on 79498174 or info@grannysmithshop.com Caroline Borg on 99493700 or carolineborg9@gmail.com  Nathalie Mifsud on 79287755  or  nathalie@tangomalta.org  Many thanks and looking forward to hearing from you all soon.

I have just heard some amazing news!! 

As a tango dancer the news excites me to new heights, as a lover of the arts the news intrigues me and as a social animal the news revs me up completely. 

I am promised class, style and sophistication.  I am guaranteed a super duper affair.  It is still under wraps as the organiser needs some finalisations but I was told to keep the weekend of Saturday the 25th of February 2012 free.  I have already noted it in my new 2012 diary in bold letters:).

I suggest you do the same

Fingers crossed for more news soon!!
