Message from the President – March 2020

Thanks again to everyone who attended the AGM on 31st January to give us your support. It was very much appreciated. The minutes are now available in the centre for any member to read.

Thanks to Dave Ridyard for auditing our accounts; to Rizos, Spaniens-Nichen and Bodega Munana for providing the prizes for the membership draw; and to El Circulo Mercantil for letting us take over their bar.

We now have three new committee members – Michelle Blewitt (Downes), Janet Fellender and Beryl Booth. Welcome to the team.

Don’t forget you can be co-opted on the committee at any time during the year (for ratification at the next AGM) so do think about joining us. We still have one vacancy and welcome any help you can give.

We also need more help with reading to the children. We have been approached by yet another secondary school, so this involves older pupils, for those of you who would rather speak than sing nursery rhymes.

The guys have organised lots of great trips for this year and they are filling up quickly so come into the centre and pay your deposit, or put your name on the reserve list if they are already full. People often have to drop out at the last minute, for one reason or another, so it is always worth having your interest noted.

Our next event in the centre is our Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday 11th April and our new Centre Manager, Michelle, has lots of eggciting activities planned. So do come along and meet our new team.
