Weekly Update Sixteen
Hi and welcome to this week’s Weekly Update for a run down on everything that’s going on in ICS this week and more…
Thanks to everyone that came along on Wednesday to hear our founder, Maria Elena Targa talk to us about the origins of the International Club. It was amazing to hear how that smallest group of people meeting to share language skills in Spanish and English began the journey the ICS has been on for so many years already and how it has grown to the club we have today. It had been many years since Foundation Member, Margaret Lingwood had been to a meeting with Maria Elena!
This week we have one of our favourites… Book Swap and Name Badge Draw!
Read on for details below…
Monday 5 May
As usual our Mah Jong Red Dragons will be getting together at Hotel Miba for more Mah Jong fun at 11 am. Newbies are always welcome to come along and see how it goes. Players now enjoy a tasty breakfast at the Hotel Miba too!
On Monday afternoon at 4:30pm our Ukulele Strumblies will be back to rehearsals at Bar Amigos. We continue with our fantastic new set of songs so it’s a lot of fun. If you would like to come along and try playing, just let us know in advance and we can have a uke ready for you to try. If you would like to come along and join in the singing, that is fine too. Maybe you would like to come along to enjoy the practice!
We look forward to seeing you!
