12th December. Spanish gathering
DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
Dear Friend of the Society,
The next Get Together will be held on Wednesday 12th December in CultureClub, 15 Elgin Street, Soho District, Central (map attached) from 7.15 onwards. Everyone who is interested in communicating in Spanish is welcome to attend. There are generally some native speakers who attend and they always offer us great support in our effort to communicate in their beautiful language... In addition to the free snacks and happy hour prices for drinks (after the first), Amai, from Madrid, has offered to give us a talk on a topic of her choosing.
The gathering on the 21st Nov. went very well, with over 20 people attending. There was a warm atmosphere and several newcomers seemed to enjoy the experience. We hope to see them all again. People who attend regularly are noticeably improving in their ability to converse.
If you are taking lessons in Spanish come along and practise what you have been taught - you won't regret it.
If you can already speak the language, then just come along and enjoy yourselves. Please forward this message if you have any Spanish-speaking friends who you think might like to attend.
Saludos,
Chris Stubbs

21 November, Spanish gathering.
Next Get Together - Wednesday 21 November
For the first time we had a Get Together on a Thursday (1st Nov.) and it was a resounding success, with 29 people attending, including "hispanohablantes" from Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico and Spain.. We were very grateful for their active support, especially Tony, who gave an interesting talk on '"El Día de Los Muertos", celebrated every Nov.1st in Mexico. A photo, also thanks to Tony, is attached.
In addition, the on-the-house snacks provided by Lennon, the owner of CultureClub, were very tasty and we thank him for the continual support he gives to our linguistic venture.
Next time, we are reverting to the normal Wednesday, as this is more convenient for Lennon. This will start at CultureClub, 15 Elgin Street, Soho District at 7.15 on Nov. 21st. (Map attached) The more people who arrive near the starting time the better, since a number of us have long journeys home, but of course you are all welcome whatever time you turn up.
Please remember that anyone who has an interest in chatting in Spanish is extremely welcome to attend. There is no fee and drinks are available at Happy Hour prices after the first drink. It's a great opportunity to practise spoken Spanish in Hong Kong - a place where opportunities to do this are generally rather limited.
