Review of 2015 Part 2

TANGO PRESENTATIONS
Regina and I entertained the day patients at Hayward House with some dancing and informal chat. That went down well and with some gentle pressure from Phil we smartened it up into a more formal presentation.
19 September. With much help from friends Maggie, Graeme, Phil, Ling, Jon and Cheryl we assembled in Beeston library. It was house full of 50 with a waiting list of 12! It was very well received and we were very pleased with the feedback.
8 December, This was Kinoulron WI's Christmas Party and this time it was just Maggie, Graeme and Phil that were the necessary support. They had allowed men to attend and the response was beyond my wildest dreams! They loved us. One comment from a lady was that she felt she was intruding by watching us dance.  What a tribute to the fact that we were really connecting with our partners and not straying into Show Tango.

LOCAL TANGO
We have regular classes and a monthly milonga, thanks to Lisa. Ling and Jon run a practica in Bramcote and they are one or two other events that occur in Derby - Chester Green Tea dance and a Mike Isaacs milonga.
I regularly helped Bill Newby's with the beginners at his monthly Workshops.

FRIENDS
I kept contact with Ken, Tony and Lesley, Joan outside of tango. A wonderful group came to watch "The Tango Lesson " at the small private cinema in Nottingham, as part of my extensive birthday celebrations.
Cheryl visited for the Test match and we witnessed one of the great days of cricket EVER. Broad
8-15, Audtralia all out for 60.
I helped Nancy with her tango and she found me the worse student of Spanish of all time.
I spent a lot of time with Jenny, helping her to move from a large house in Ruddington to a small one in Edwalton. I laid her oak floor after a couple of false starts and with the help,of Daniel.he knows nothing about floors but reads instructions and interprets them logically. I read them to reinforce my pre-conciecved ides!
