The BAM Charity contribution to IES Victoria Kent School, to augment the supply of English language books, was presented after a special afternoon tea event on Thursday 10th April at the home of Violette. Many thanks go to Violette for her generous hospitality.

Remember the school has requested BAM members to, later this year; assist at the school with students in conversational exercises. Potential helpers should contact Joan, 952835947. We have 4 names, but need others!

On Saturday 26th April we arranged a day trip to Antequera and El Torcal. This proved to be an excellent excursion for all attendees. Many photographs were taken; some are attached. For viewing all please see our web site.

The Committee are considering arranging a trip to Malaga, possibly in September, and would welcome suggestions as to places to visit. Contact Joan, 952835947, with your ideas.

BAM Charity contribution is to be given to Aspandem during a future BAM monthly lunch. The exact date has not yet been arranged.

Several BAM members went to see Fawlty Towers on Sunday 27th April. Again, an enjoyable evening. Thanks go to Yutta for organising the tickets. Seewww.salonvarietestheatre.com for the latest information or contact Yutta, 952831289.
