The 400 Club - Issue 5

They give me a mention so it's only polite to link back. Actually it's Naomi or Silvia (of 'Tango@33' - they've retained the brand without the building) who mentions in an interview my undisguised enthusiam for being allowed to dance somewhere that people agree not to body-slam me, use me as a battering ram, or act in ways that cause other people to do so.

I hadn't read the 400 Club magazine before. Other than the piece about George Bernard Shaw learning to dance tango, with a photo in which the embrace is slightly modified to accommodate his partner's hat, this is my favourite bit:
“The 400 club is an irregularly produced, amateur newsletter for the London Tango scene. ... The next issue will arrive when and if we have sufficient time and inclination to get round to doing one.”

    So where in No5 Cavendish Square are they holding their new milonga? Website a bit confusing. Looks a great place though.

    I have a vague memory that Cav Square is where the Blairs live - or am I completely wrong?

    It just says No. 5 in the email - with two floors. Incidentally if you put the postcode from the email into streetmap, it fails and says it's inaccurate. Putting 5 Cavendish Square into PostCode Finder gives one that does work: W1G 0PG. No idea about the Blairs.

    Cavendish Square is situated between Harley St and Oxford St, just behind the John Lewis store. The Blairs residence is in Connaught Square near Edgware Rd.

    I agree, it's brilliant :) - in a way it's like the GGTT, it makes no pretensions.

    Perhaps I should put something similar on my site...
