The BAM Wednesday coffee morning event will continue, until further notice, in the San Cristobal library/TV room at the usual start time of 11:00 am.

A BAM shopping/lunch trip, will take place on a Wednesday in April, to the Aspandem Garden Centre. Please contact Fran, 952927807, if you are likely to attend and if you would require transport or could offer seats in your own vehicles to other BAM members.

On Saturday 26th April we are arranging a day trip to Antequera and El Torcal. Transport from central Marbella, in a mini bus, will cost €25 per person. Lunch is not included; however there are many inexpensive places for food in Antequera. Please act quickly as numbers are extremely limited. Call Violette, 952828988 or Joan, 952835947 immediately to indicate if you want to go. The full transport payment must be paid to secure your place.

Last weekend, Tim’s play, entitled ‘Zip me up Darling’, was performed at the Marbella Café Theatre Club. Many BAM members enjoyed the event.

BAM Charity contributions are to be given to Aspandem during our BAM May monthly lunch at Puerto Azul Restaurant. The contribution to IES Victoria Kent School, to augment the supply of English language books, will be presented after a Wednesday morning coffee event at the San Cristobal, possibly followed by lunch, at a date to suit the school. The school has requested BAM members to assist in conversational exercises with students. Potential helpers should contact Violette, 952828988 or Joan, 952835947.
