It has been agreed that we will raise funds for an animal charity with an afternoon tea in which each member who attends would bring a cake or other contribution and then pay €5 for the charity donation. Violette has kindly offered the use of her house to host the event. This will take place on Thursday 12thor 19th November; the exact date yet to be confirmed. Please advise Violette, 952828988 if you wish to participate.

Plans are being made for a special Christmas lunch, possibly again at San Cristobal, and for Spring 2016 trips to Malaga’s Picasso and Thyssen museums.

Although not purporting to be BAM events:

BAM members can often be found attending the Scrabble event that takes place at 4pm on Thursdays at Luigi’s Bar, The Lucky Leprechaun. All are welcome to attend.

The Marbella Pensionista is organising a holiday to Portugal, 30th November until 5th December, which includes travel, hotel, all meals and excursions for €225 for a double and €135 for a single. Please contact Norma, 952860624, for details.

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.

NEWSLETTER September 2015

The August BAM monthly lunch was held at the Fontanilla restaurant; on Thursday 27th August. I am advised by those who attended that the event was enjoyable. Many thanks go to Paz, Joan and others who organised the event,

The next BAM monthly lunch will now be held at the San Cristobal restaurant, on Wednesday 23rd September. Lunch will be taken immediately after the BAM AGM which will be held at 12:00 in the San Cristobal Library, our normal BAM coffee morning room. Please contact Violette, 952828988 or Joan, 952835947 at the latest Monday 14th September to book your place for the AGM and also the follow on lunch. There will NOT be a coffee morning session prior to the AGM. The AGM lunch will begin with a complimentary glass of Cava at 1.45pm for lunch to commence at 2.00pm.

With regard to the BAM AGM, I call for all nominations for committee members to be received by Joan, 952835947 by Monday 21st September. Currently, I am advised that all existing committee members are willing to stand for another year. Please would current members confirm this fact with Joan?

BAM held a ‘Picnic’ on Thursday 10th September at the Palmyra Park in Marbella. Although only attended by nine members an excellent time was had by all.

Reminder: The Committee is considering offering members an evening to support a charity of our choice, but it is uncertain if numbers could be attained for an evening event.

It has also been suggested that we could raise funds for a charity with an afternoon tea in which each member who attends would bring a cake or other contribution and then pay €5 for the charity donation. Violette has kindly offered the use of her house, with Tim’s permission, to host the event if it goes ahead. A date in October was being considered. Please advise Violette, 952828988 of your thoughts. Again, if we do not get your responses we will not hold such events.

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.
