Due to lack of a quorum the January Committee meeting did not occur, hence this short message.

It is with sadness that I must advise you that during the month both Ann Gray any Les Ramsay died. Both our friends will be sadly missed and our sincere condolences go to their friends and families.

Our thanks go to Norma for arranging Christmas cards and presents to be given, on behalf of BSC, to our currently infirm friends. Jean Lord has asked that you all be thanked for the gift she received.

The November monthly lunch was held on Thursday 24th November at Angolinos Restaurant. Although the meal was appreciated by those who attended the seating arrangement was very cramped and not terribly convenient. In my opinion, the inside dinning space is fine for a small number of dinners but not for a group of our size. During the lunch time, we presented to Ana Ortega Cruz, President, Marbella Voluntarios €1000 from BAM funds. Marbella Voluntarios are to use the money to make up baskets of Christmas food to distribute to needy families and senior citizens in Marbella. Subsequently, we have received formal notification that the money has been deposited into the bank of Marbella Voluntarios.

The Special Christmas lunch, consisting of all 4 starters, traditional Christmas Roast Turkey with all the trimmings, dessert, mince pies, wine and coffee was held at the San Cristobal restaurant on Thursday December 15th. Like the quiz, created by Joan, the whole event was a great success enjoyed by all who attended.
