As some of you may know our group, GCFA, organises an annual international capoeira angola encounter. The encounter moves and is held in a new location each year and is organised by the local núcleos. The first encounter took place in Brighton, England, in the summer of 2001. Since then the encounters have been in; Lyon, France. Giróna, Spain. Berlin, Germany. Valencia, Spain. Torino, Italy. Stockholm, Sweden. Brighton, England.

Next years encounter will be held in Berlin, Germany, and the preliminary dates are the 15th to the 19th of July 2009. So mark it down in your calendar and pass it on.
