EINDEJAARS RODA EN SURPRISE!!!

Beste Batuques uit heel Nederland, woensdag 20 december is in Den Haag de 'laatste' Roda van dit jaar. Het zou natuurlijk te gek zijn als de hele groep nog een keer samen kan komen om flink te trainen en een grote roda te maken. De les zal dan ook (minimaal) 3 uur duren. Aansluitend zullen we dan een surprise houden. Iedereen die komt koopt een klein cadeau van minimaal 5 euro (als je nog zwart geld over hebt wat je kwijt wilt mag je wat meer besteden...500 euro ofzo). Na de roda zullen we de lootjes trekken en vervolgens de cadeaus uitdelen. Iedereen is natuurlijk welkom, vergeet niet je cadeautje mee te nemen naar de zaal... tot dan!!!
