Balboa på Globen – med mulighed for spisning først

December er jo fyldt med julefrokoster. Vi holder ikke egentlig julefrokost, men synes det kunne være hyggeligt at mødes til en bid brød før social dans. Konceptet er helt uformelt: Medbring en dele-venlig (jule)ret til fællesspisning.

Vi regner med at spise ca. 18 og danse fra ca. 19:30

Skriv gerne, om du kommer, så vi ved, hvor mange der skal dækkes op til. Skriv også gerne, hvad du tager med, så der er mulighed for at koordinere.

Ann-Britt og Karin/ Ministry of Balboa

December is the month of ”julefrokost”. We don’t have a balboa julefrokost, but we do think it could be hyggeligt to meet and dine before the social dance. The concept is quite informal: Bring along your favorite (x-mas) dish to share.
