Venue Venue Venue
This is the bad news.. DBKK has officially announced it will with immediate effect cancel all ADVANCE bookings.(DBKK had received written complaints on the difficulty in bookings by residents)
All monthly bookings for the Luyang hall is therefore automatically cancelled . All bookings must be made on the current day and paid together - this means I must book and pay on every Wed morning itself and not a day earlier. This is too much STRESS for me due to my time management and not to mention parking problems.
We need to find a permanent place to dance. The Sacred Heart Hall is a temporary venue until a more suitable place is located. Can everybody help?
Currently we will be in Sacred Heart hall for every Mon and Wed.
Any inconvenience caused is much regretted.
