8th  June 2010

Class added.

"Jiveasy", Wednesdays, Fishbourne, Chichester. Starts 30th June (free entry that week only + free glass of bubbly).

NB the venue is brand new (opened last month) so won't appear on the satellite view of my google-based map for a while. At the moment the pointer if just on the right road - when I get directions I'll move the pointer onto the location of the 'invisible' building itself (hopefully before the opening night!).

 

7th  June 2010

Now have details of "The Barn" - thanks.

 

6th  June 2010

Anyone know "The Barn", Foundry Lane, Andover?

It's one of the few venues I can't find a precise location for. There are no directions on any website and I can't see it on Google Street. Obviously most references show the location as just the centre of the postcode which is no good if you're trying to find it in the dark!

If someone could email me directions so I could get the pointer right on the building that would be great.

2nd May 2010

I've made a couple of improvements:

NEAREST CLASS
There's now a 'Find closest to:' box (top right of each map).

To use it, type in a location and hit Return (don't click on the rotating 'sweetie' next to it).


MORE ACCURATE MARKERS
Some of the markers were VERY approximate until now.
Now they are SOOOOOO accurate they actually point to the very building where the class is held! (Except two of them - I'm still trying to track down those precise locations - but those two markers point onto the road so you'll know when you come across them).

If want to see where you're going:
1. Find the class on the map.
2. Zoom right in.
3. Select 'Satellite' view.
4. You should see a photo-type image with a marker on the appropriate building.


DAYS OF THE WEEK
If you have clicked on a day at the bottom of the map and want to get back to see 'all days of the week', just click anywhere else in the white 'days of the week' bar.



IN THE PIPELINE
The site will soon migrate from the current location:
www.borntojive.co.uk/jiveclasses.htm
to its own site:
www.jiveclasses.co.uk

Much easier to remember!


That's all for now ....
