7 th October. Spanish gathering at Culture Club

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY - WED. OCTOBER 7.

Dear Friend of the Society,

Thank you to the 52 people who gave their wholehearted support to Sylvia during yesterday's Get Together (16 Oct.). She gave a well-researched, interesting and entertainingly delivered talk on Independence Days in Central America. We have been very lucky to have had so many fascinating talks over the past year and more. Thank you so much to all those who have spent considerable time preparing for those talks.

Next time, on the 7th of October (apologies for saying the sixth at yesterday's gathering), we are very lucky that Irene Villaescusa Illan, from Spain, has promised to give us a "charla" on her home city, Murcia, together with some interesting words from that area - please make a note in your diary.

Our thanks go to Lennon, the owner of CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk) for the free snacks and welcoming environment.

It is hoped you can make the next Get Together, where you will have the opportunity to practise your Spanish in the company of, if last night is anything to go by, a fairly large number of native speakers, as well as other friendly aficionados of the language, all of whom you will find are very willing to foster the development of our usage of the language. Also it's fun!

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs

16th September. Spanish gathering at Culture Club


Dear Friend of the Society,


A reminder that our next Get Together will be held this coming Wednesday, the 16th, from 7.00 p.m. onwards (early attendance appreciated).


A map of CultureClub, 15 Elgin Street, Soho, where the gathering will take place, is attached. In addition to the wonderful opportunity to practise Spanish with a very friendly group of people, you will also enjoy free snacks, courtesy of Lennon, the supportive owner of CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk), together with drinks at happy hour prices (after the first). Our host does ask that you would kindly buy at least one drink.


Sylvia, who is Guatemalan/Ecuadorian, but born in L.A., has kindly agreed to give a talk entitled, "La Independencía CentroAmericana y Mexicana". She's working very hard on it, so please come along and support her. See you there.



Saludos,



Chris Stubbs
