If you are interested in going, the details are as follows: Meet Gordon between 7.05pm and 7.15pm, at Bethnal Green tube station (Central Line, Zone 2) near the ticket office to go to Lee Hurst’s Backyard Comedy Club, 231 Cambridge Heath Road, E2 0EL. For a map, please see Streetmap. (For local buses, please see the flyer at the website given in the paragraph below.)

The Event: This salsa class is run by Salsa Class. It will start at 7.30pm and end at about 9.30pm. As it will be followed by a party until around midnight, you should check your route home if you plan to stay late. The normal admission price for this weekly event is 7 pounds, but tonight everyone mentioning that they are a friend of Gordon’s is invited free of charge. This large venue holds 400 people, and so you are encouraged to invite all your friends and to tell them that they can invite their friends. The more, the merrier. For more information, please see Flyer.

Booking for This Event: To give the organiser an idea of numbers, it would be helpful if you would confirm attendance by sending an e-mail to milo@salsaclass.co.uk by no later than 11pm on Tuesday 6 March. To help the organiser, please put “Wed 7 March: Salsa Booking/GB” in the subject heading. In the text of your message, you should give your name and the total number of people in your party.

Best of luck and enjoy yourselves on the dance floor! And remember to quote that you are a ‘Friend of Gordon’ to benefit from the discount.
