18th August. Spanish gathering at Culture club.

Dear Friend of the Society,

Apologies for the late reminder, but I've just returned from a great holiday in the U.K.. There will be a Get Together in CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk), 15 Elgin Street (lower), Soho District, Central (map attached), this coming Wednesday, the 18th, starting at 7.00 (early attendance appreciated). If Tony can make it from China he is willing to give a talk about his good friend, Mark, the brother of Barack Obama. If not, maybe Veronica and Fongfong will tell us about their forthcoming trip to Mexico and Cuba? Whatever happens, we will have a good time and practise our Spanish in convivial surroundings.

My sincere thanks go to Glorimar and Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who kindly hosted the last gathering, tells me that despite terrible weather preceding the Get Together, there was a splendid talk on Puerto Rico given by Glorimar, ably helped by her buddy Kin. Apparently it was well-prepared, there was Puerto Rican music and the event was very interactive. Everyone who attended enjoyed it.

Glorimar has also promoted the idea of showing Spanish Movies regularly in CultureClub (maybe on the Thursday following a Wednesday gathering). The idea sounds good and we'll talk about it on Wednesday.

Everyone who wishes to talk in Spanish is welcome to come along. Remember to buy at least one drink to support Lennon, who himself has been really supportive in encouraging our effort to improve our Spanish - also congratulations to him on the new addition to his family!. See you all on Wednesday.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs
