27th May. Spanish gathering at Culture Club

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY - WED., 27 MAY.

Dear Friend of the Society,

Thank you to all those who came to yesterday evening's very successful Get Together in CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk ). We were lucky enough to have 52 people there and I think everyone enjoyed the passionate talk given by Gabriel, from Argentina, a man who lives his football and the tango. We were very grateful to him, and hope that he can give another talk in the future.

Next time, on May 27, Claudia, also from Argentina, has promised to speak to us. She is considering the theme, so I'll let you know what it is in the reminder that will be sent out a few days before the meeting. She teaches Spanish and English and I think will be very enjoyable to listen to - please make a note in your diary.

Thanks go to Lennon for his generous and welcoming hospitality and also to all the native speakers of Spanish, who invariably support us in such a friendly and helpful fashion. The rest of us need to keep studying, and utilizing our Spanish, so that we can get us much as possible out of the forthcoming Get Togethers! Remember that www.bbc.co.uk/mundo/index.shtml and www.rtve.es are very useful websites for reading and listening.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs

Member of the Society.
