What a great event! Thank you Charles and Sarah for organising and bringing such great DJs to Eton and thanks to the DJ's and fellow dancers for making it such a great experience.

Many thanks for all those hours you put into the event! I had some amazing dances and went home totally satisfied!

That was some 4 days, Sarah & Charles - thank you. And thank you to the tangueras for your warm generosity, to the DJs who indulged us rather than yourselves, and to all those tangueros who danced for the ronda.

Charles and Sarah - thank you once again for a wonderful afternoon yesterdays. Fab dances with fab partners; and fab music too!

I had a wonderful time: good venue, great music from all DJs …, high dance standard … and friendly people. The floor craft and courtesy were impressive – much better than in Sydney. People generally asked permission to enter the line of dance and (mostly) stayed in their lanes. I will definitely have Thames Valley Tango on my “to do” list when next I return to the UK.

Very friendly, well organised, good standard and fab cakes. What’s not to like

Thank you Charles, Sarah and everyone else for making the weekend such a success. Had a fabulous time as always!!!

A place, a milonga, an event, that has gained a deserved reputation for good floorcraft a respectful 'moving' ronda and great hosts and this is how a packed salon works. Great dancers, great DJ's, great cakes from Mrs CakeyMcStribs is why I love dancing in Eton and have done for the last seven years.

Thank you Charles & Sarah for the most fabulous Etonathon. Amazing DJs. Yummy cakes and gorgeous dances!

Such a nice event! The atmosphere, the cakes, the people, the cakes, the music, the cakes, the venue, the cakes - I could go on! Thank you Charles and Sarah - you did it again!

Speechless with the joy of Septonathon. (Sighs, exits stage left, falls asleep)
