If you would like to make a last minute booking for this year’s Gothla UK, please contact Bridie directly.

Online bookings have now closed, although you can still see the programme of classes.

Those of you waiting for your tickets, do not worry, Bridie has been stuffing envelopes this week while Sue has been guillotining the card.

Only two weeks now until THE gothic bellydance festival of the year in UK.  We’re looking forward to meeting everybody.

We haven’t laid on a dinner in 2010, because with so many people lined up for Open Stage, we’re opening the show earlier. This also gives time for you to prep for the night.

Remember that everyone will need a ticket to enter Open Stage, including performers, because Redeemer takes the major cut as Open Stage segues into Club Night.

The management of The Village has been equivocal about whether it will actually be open. So we can’t rely on The Village being our social centre this time. There should be a downstairs bar open at Redeemer.

A decision remains to be taken about where the souk will be based.  We’ll let you know, if not beforehand, then by announcement at the hafla on Friday 16th July.

The shop is open for sales of t-shirts etc

See you soon.

The bookings page for GothlaUK 2010, Leicester, 16th-18th July, is now live.

The news seems to have spread like wildfire, so make sure you’re on our Facebook group or subscribed to our Twitter feed.

We’re not organising a dinner on the Saturday evening this year, which we hope will give you more flexibility to find somewhere to eat and/or get ready for a night on the town.

Open Stage will launch at 8.30pm on the Saturday evening on the top floor of Redeemer seguing into Club Night from 10.30pm.

Admission is £3 and you can book tickets on our bookings page.

If you would like to perform at Open Stage, download the booking form, fill it in, save it with your name, and return it by email to Rosie.

We advise that you wear light shoes or slipperettes rather than go barefoot at Redeemer.

Please also let us know if you would be willing to perform in public rather than just in front of other GothlaUK attendees.  Redeemer will be admitting the public from 10.30pm.

Check out venues and hotels.  The Campanile, our preferred hotel, is offering rooms at £42, £4 less than rack rate, if you quote ‘GothlaUK, July’ when phoning them.

Following Open Stage, which begins at 9pm at Quebec Club on Saturday 18th July, we can all troop up to the other end of the road to Redeemer for Club Night.

Redeemer is offering entry at £2.50 per person, providing you show your hafla ticket at the door.

If you’re not coming to the hafla on Friday, pick up a flyer from Sue who will be manning the GothlaUK stall in the souk on Saturday and Sunday.

So please hang on to your hafla tickets.  You’ll find them very useful over the weekend.
