Lynda Gocher AKA MinnieM

Report a concern about this post

Post by Andy McGregor »

Our very own MinnieM is legendary as www.Lyndaslist.com (just make sure you spell it with a y ). Every month Lynda has produced a list of places for us to dance in the South East of England. And she's to be found greeting you at weekenders and nights all over the place. She must be famous, she gets in for free everywhere - maybe she never carries money :wink:

:yeah: as well.

She's even famous in America where she happens to be at the moment. Dancers visiting the UK are always advised to check Lyndaslist to find out where to go dancing. I'm sure she'll be right chuffed when she gets back and reads this :flower: .

Oh.......................my.....................goodness .................. :blush:

After such a fantastic birthday and an amazing weekend - to come back to this has welmed me up - can't see what I am typing now .........

Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much everyone :hug: :kiss:

I have been doing my list for TWELVE years now, and it is hard work (and it does actually cost me money too) however it is a labour of love, I really enjoy it and as Andy says, most places give me free entry because of it, or if not ocassionally - so indirectly I am not out of pocket.
