Weekly Update Twenty
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 our trip to Guadix this week! We had been trying to arrange that trip for quite some time so it was wonderful to actually deliver! And what an interesting place!
We have reached our penultimate week in our Spring calendar!
This week we will host our quiz which we missed last week due to our trip taking place.
Read on for details below…
Monday 2 June
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!
Our friends Martin and Phil of Bar Amigos have returned from a well earned break and our Ukulelel Strumblies return to Bar Amigos in Avenida Federico Garcia Lorca. This week we are revisiting some of our old favourites! 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!

ICS Summer Recess Begins after Week 21 – Friday 13 June
As is usually the case our Spring season comes to a close at the end of next week. Our hosts generally get much much busier with their summer seasonal clients and many of our members make for the home countries or travel elsewhere.
Just a reminder that we are still welcome at the Hotel Salobreña Suites to use their pool for instance, but please remember that we need to see Reception and book buffet lunch (at the special ICS discount rate of 15:50 euros of course), Pay at Reception and they will give you a receipt to show the Restaurant staff.
Mini clubs can continue if agreed with the usual hosts. But your regular Weekly Updates will cease during Summer Recess and will resume at the planned start of our Autumn Season on Wednesday 17 September. In the meantime we may send the odd email if something newsworthy is happening locally. What is exciting is that there will be just over two weeks until our fantastic Mediterranean Cruise when we return in the Autumn!
