28th July. Spanish gatering at Culture Club

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY - WEDNESDAYS JULY 28 and AUGUST 18.

Dear Friend of the Society,

Yesterday almost 50 of us enjoyed a wonderful talk given by Eduardo Rodríguez on "La Nao de China"; boats that took emigrants from China to Mexico many years ago. The talk was characterised by its clarity, interest and logic and was enjoyed by all the people there - thank you so much Eduardo!

Next time, on July 28 (note 4 weeks after the previous one), we hope to have Glorimar, from Puerto Rica, give a talk on her country. Because of a possible trip this isn't completely certain, but is highly likely. Glorimar is a very popular member of the gatherings and her talk should be most enjoyable - please make a note in your diary to attend. Unfortunately I cannot be there as I'll be in the UK, so THERE WILL NOT BE A REMINDER. Ronaldo has kindly agreed to be the host! He always does a splendid job in this role, so please try to attend to support him and Glorimar.

Until I get back in mid-August you won't hear from me, so please also make a note about the Get Together on the 18th of August. Hope you can make that also. If anyone would like to give a talk on the 18th then let Ronaldo know on the 28th of July.

Remember, the Get Togethers take place from 7 p.m. onwards in CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk) , 15 Lower Elgin Street, Soho District (map attached) and all with an interest in communicating in Spanish are welcome to attend. There is no need to register or pay any entrance fee, although everyone is expected to buy at least one drink in order to support our friendly host, Lennon.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs

9th June. Spanish gathering at Culture Club

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY - WED. JUNE 9

Dear Friend of the Society,

Thank you to the close to 50 people who turned up to Get Together No. 70. We enjoyed an entertaining "charla" by Karen Romero, the theme being the Mexican obsession with tele-novelas, and we also said farewell to Paco, who will leave on Sunday for his new life in Poland. Paco has been such a positive participant in many of our meetings and will be sorely missed. We wish him the very best of luck and hope he will keep in touch.

On June 2, La Sociedad Hispanica will hold the annual Graduation Dinner; hence, the next Get Together will be in 4 weeks time, on June 9. Please make a note since you all welcome to attend in order to enjoy the social occasion, as well as to practise your Spanish. People who have graduated from their course will no doubt be eager to communicate, and test themselves, in the language with other aficionados and native speakers. The latter group which often include people from Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Spain, are always very supportive and understanding about as to our effort in expressing ourselves well in their beautiful language.

We hope, depending on work commitments, to have Doris Lee give a talk, in Spanish of course, on factory occupations and worker-run cooperatives in Argentina in 2001 (during their economic crisis) and now. Please give her your support.

Please remember that Get Together No. 71 will begin at 7 p.m. on June 9 in CultureClub, 15 Lower Elgin Street, Soho District (www.cultureclub.com.hk).

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs
