NEWSLETTER December 2015
The November monthly lunch was held at Angolino’s restaurant on Thursday 26th November. Although the seating was very tight for the attendees the meal was excellent. Many thanks go to Violette for arranging the event.
A very special Christmas lunch, again at San Cristobal similar to the very successful event last year, was held on Wednesday 9th December. As expected it was a great success in every aspect. Thanks was given to Joan for organising the event and for creating the special Christmas Quiz. Thanks go also to Angret, Joan H, Margaret, Norma and Violette who also made significant contributions in making this our best lunch of 2015.
The next BAM monthly lunch will be held at the Sol y Europa restaurant on Thursday 28th January. Please contact Violette, 952828988 by Monday 25rd January, to book your place for the lunch. The cost for the 3 course lunch, which includes the tip and the first drink will be €12. The lunch, as usual, will commence with arrival at 1.30pm for lunch at 2.00pm.
Violette’s special Tea Party that resulted in BAM’s charity donation of €310 to Triple A was presented to the organisation on Thursday 19th November. I am pleased to state that our press release of the event was published in both Sur in English and Euro Weekly News publications this week. Again, many thanks to Violette and the BAM members who in some way contributed to the event.
The BAM Charitable Donation proposed to be presented in February to SER HUMANO is on hold until full facts are known as to whether the organisation will remain solvent through 2016. Angret will coordinate our involvement with this organisation.
Violette together with Yutta are arranging trips into Malaga for early spring, possibly March, it is likely that these will involve Malaga’s Motor/Fashion and Thyssen museums.
Yutta has supplied me with information on the activities and events to be held at the Salon Varieties, U3A and the Costa del Sol Decorative & Fine Arts Society. For more details please contact Yutta, 952831289.
Many thanks are given to Eva, who has created and constantly updates a new website and Facebook entry for BAM. Any ideas for additional content would be appreciated.
