Who fancies a meet and greet night in London?! :D

Great - thanks a lot David - Right looks like we're set then. We will go for that weekend as a definate and then if people are coming from further afield then they could look at staying the week if they're interested and coming to the UK Salsa congress the following week.

I'll look into organising the different nights and find out what's on - if anyone needs help sorting out accommodation or if any other Londoners can offer accommodation for the non-locals then let me know - more details to follow soon! :D
 
Good thing you posted that last message - I had missed that the thread started back in 2005! I would be up for a meet, but I will be in Hong Kong until early June so anytime before then would not be good for me!
 
A meet and greet would be great – I wasn’t dancing at the time of the first one (did it actually happen?).

Just to say I regularly bump into Prae, what’s more Mamboboy21 was at Sound on Tuesday.
AndrewS - we’ve probably seen each other without realising (our paths have definitely crossed...at the LDA last term my lesson was immediately after yours.)

Actually we may not have crossed paths yet - I wasn't in any classes at the LDA last session - before this session I hadn't been there since before Christmas.

As to when to meet up do people prefer weekdays or weekends?
 
I'm hopefully going to the first May bank holiday ScalaLatina... other than that, very rarely in London. So mini-meet before/at Scala could be good...?
 
OK – not much time to organise this now. I don’t know many drinking spots in Kings X (nor would I want to, it traditionally being one of London’s red light districts). However Clockwork (the venue where Salsateca hold La Finca) is only a ten minute walk away from the Scala, being between Angel Tube and Kings X station on Pentonville Road.

Unfortunately I’m still undecided as to whether I’m going to the all-nighter, so I might not be there. Even so, if some of you were in a pub/bar for an hour before going into the event, it would be rude not to show my face :)

I went to a pub near Kings Cross with my old football team. It was quite a nice place - wooden floors, lots of different shaped tables and booths. No idea what it was called.

I'm definitely going to Scala. Would be happy to meet up before for a couple of drinks (well, one drink - don't want to drink and dance. Very dangerous. For my partners anyway :twisted: )

Hows about setting a date far enough ahead, so people can plan (when is the event you mentioned ? )

Unfortunately it's this Sunday.

I'll look into the next big event i.e. an event likely to draw people from outside London too and will post when I have some ideas.

Just to add; now I’m a member of the landed gentry I have a spare room (two rooms potentially), in fact I even have two spare double beds (though this does include an inflatable mattress). As such, I can put people up, as longs as they don’t mind travelling from Palmers Green (about 45 minutes away from central London by bus and tube during the day and still 45 minutes by night bus in the early hours of the morning – the buses run every 15 minutes.)
