31st March. Spanish gathering at Culture Club

Dear Friend of the Society,

Thank you to the close to 50 of you who attended yesterday evening's Get Together at CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk), 15 Elgin Street (lower), Soho District. I hope you had plenty of opportunity to practise your Spanish.

In addition, I would like to thank Omaira for her talk on a distinguished Venezuelan and also Stuart for donating some Spanish books and games for which we had a free draw during the evening. We all wish Stuart the best of luck when he shortly leaves to live in Japan. He will be missed at the Get Togethers.

We are very lucky to have Michal Garcia as the person who will give the next talk on March 31st. Michal is a Photographer and Music Professional, as well as a lively conversationalist, and he has agreed to give a talk on "Música Latina". Please make a note in your diary to attend - it should be an enjoyable and interesting occasion.

Future Get Togethers are scheduled for April 21 and May 12, so if any of you are interested in giving a talk, please get in touch.

Another piece of information, sent by Ronaldo, is that both Hong Kong University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong are hosting "Hispanic Months". The websites are as follows - http://www3.hku.hk/smlc/news/detail.php?id=240 and http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/lin/new/en/events/festivals.htm - and you will find posters attached above.

Thanks to Lennon, the owner of CultureClub, for providing us with a comfortable environment in which to practise our Spanish and I hope we see as many as possible of you next time.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs.

Member of the Society.
