    Does St Mary's really close at 10.30? on a Friday night...
    That might tip the balance back in favour of the Casbah for us, as Lorna and Lisa probably won't make it to London until 10.30pm on the Friday night...

    Casbah or St Mary's?

    Lily - How about bringing your crew along to St Mary's on Friday? I'm sure Mr Cordoba would appreciate the superior dance floor.
    As David said, we would have liked to go to St Mary's (James & I had a ball there the last time) but the freestyle there is only for an hour. At Casbah, it is normally from 9:15 to 11pm, if I'm not mistaken. An extra 45 minutes does make a difference when you're having fun. Marilene White from JiveBug usually goes to the Casbah - and of course Linda Barker & Mike Allard will be there too - more good reasons for going.

    So come on Wills, Franck, Stevie et al - let's make it the Casbah this Friday, pretty please?

    Then on to Fleet for Saturday night, with the added attraction of a class with Robert Cordoba.

    These are fair points. I'm easy going. Toby - Claire, fancy Casbah then?

    Now all we need to do is Smuggle the Tramp in in a disguise!

    We could always do both

    St Mary's from 7.30pm 'til 10.00pm followed by the Casbah! Are the 2 venues far from each other?

    So, whatever happens, everyone meets at the Casbah on Friday night, at least after 10.30pm

    Hi Steve Wong here

    Yeah I reckon that is a great idea Franck.

    I started out dancing at what became St Mary's and then did mostly Casbah for a while and now I am at St Mary's when I am in London usully.

    St Mary's has a very very new floor. In my opinion it is the best dance floor in London. I really dislike the Casbah floor...too old and uneven and I did mention something to Mike some time ago. Casbah is usually very crowded....! I do like it but at the moment I have been going to St Marys.....drinks are cheaper as well.

    St Marys has a lot of floor space and it is nowhere near as hot as Casbah. The standard of dancing is lower at St Marys but if we all decide to go there then we can dance with each other. St Marys is a very friendly club and not very cliquey although I guess I am a bit standoffish at times!

    If you go to St Marys you could also meet the lovely Cliff and Penny our teachers.

    Does anyone know anyone in Birmingham who is seriously wanting to compete in Advanced in May? I am trying to find a dance partner although it is possible that this will be sorted soon.

    I have to say I agree with Stevie Wong (all kneel). St Mary's beats Casbah for floor, space and friendliness.

    Would be awesome to get some of the top dancers in as well!

    Well, I'm definitely up for coming to St. Marys.

    Especially given that I have no choice in the matter

    Now, how did I know that someone was going to say something like that!!

    You're becoming so predictable David!!

    Of course, I guess I could contact Mike/Linda and tell them that I'm no longer banned by ceroc London, and see what they say to that....

    But I am very shy..... :sorry

    Right,

    After numerous PM's, it seems that the plan is to go to St Mary's and leave at about 10pm to get to Casbah for 10.15pm. At least 2 of us have cars so we will be able to get everyone across.

    In the meantime, the Tramp is drafting a grovelling letter to Mike & Linda begging them to let him into Casbah tonight.

    All this is assuming Lilly's gang don't decide to come to St Mary's after all

    Ummm.

    No he's not.

    Sorry.

    I don't do grovel.

    Will probably come to St. Marys, and just stay there until the end.

    I was going to comment on this myself. Grovelling is not something you look like you could do ...espcecially in this situation!

    That wasn't grovelling....

    That was ass-kissing. Something totally different
