Tango South Website
Apparently our website has been down for a couple of days to Users accessing it through Internet Explorer. Apologies for the inconvenience. It was working OK with Firefox (which we use) which is why we didn't notice. The pesky little gremlins have been dealt with and things should be back to normal now. However, just to add to the fun, we will be switching to a different web hosting provider over the next week or so - we hope you won't notice a thing, but further apologies if you do.
A quick note to Don:
It was lovely to see you again at the Práctica last Thursday, but we forgot to get your email address. Please drop us a line here.
Next Monthly Milonga at Farnham, Saturday 13th March
Our Milongas are fast gaining a reputation for the friendly welcome, superb venue, lovely floor, great sound system and wonderful music to dance to.
Dancings from 7.45 to 11.15pm at St Joan's Centre, Tilford Road, Farnham. Just off the A31 and 200 yards from Farnham Station. Click here for directions. Plenty of off-road parking. Complimentary light refreshments - feel free to bring your own additional drinks.
Station Hill Farnham - Closure from 22nd March to 17th May
The culprits are Southern Gas Networks who are putting in a new gas main, right by the level crossing, so there will be no direct access from the A31 to Tilford Road and St Joan's Centre. The Surrey County Council suggested diversion, which we reckon will add ten minutes to your journey - given average traffic (?) - can be found here. However, you are probably better off heading for the centre of Farnham, then taking the A287, Long Bridge, from the one way system, which gets you over the A31 and the railway line, then turning left into Alfred Road. Check it out on Google Maps here.
