24th June. Spanish gathering at Culture club.

Dear Friend of the Society,

Thank you to all those who came to yesterday's gathering. About 40 people heard, or participated in, a talk given by Claudia from Argentina, on Argentina. It was characterised by interaction, fun and clarity and, besides being very interesting, was a wonderful learning aid for those who are getting to grips with the language - so, our thanks go to Claudia.

It was also very encouraging to see at least 4 members of Level 3 at the Gathering. They really seemed to enjoy themselves and, I'm sure, their confidence in speaking Spanish grew as the evening progressed. I would like to see more of this happening, with a special emphasis on Level 4 members. They should be really itching to try out their Spanish language skills. It would be difficult to find a better opportunity, not only because of the comfortable and welcoming environment that Lennon, the owner of CultureClub offers us, but also due to the wonderful support that the native speakers who attend give us at every meeting. People from Peru, Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, to mention just a few countries, have made significant contributions to our Get Togethers and will always be welcome.

The next meeting at CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk) will be on Wed., June 24, a week later than usual. This is because the Spanish Society will be hosting their Annual Dinner a week before. Guillermo Peláez, from Colombia, has indicated he would like to give a talk on his country. The exact theme hasn't been fixed, but he said that he wants to show his country to be a place where terrorism and drugs are not the only activities taking place (apologies if I didn't express that very well!). Let you know more in the reminder. Please make a note in your diaries.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs,

Member of the Society.
