September Meeting
We had 25 Members present at the September meeting with apologies from Michael & Margaret and Karin & Siggi. Due to the very high temperature in August, we did not hold a monthly run but instead Members went for an evening meal at Las Ramblas Golf Club. Members thoroughly enjoyed the evening with 35 people attending and the meal was subsidised by the Club by 5 Euros per Member, as the cost of the menu was higher than normal. There was an entertainer singing a variety of songs, Johnny Dillon, and Ron has approached him to see if he would sing for us at our Christmas event, which he has agreed to. Ron asked that those Members who won awards at last years anniversary dinner, please bring your awards to the next meeting and advise Ron of your nomination to receive the award. The next meeting is the AGM and Ron asked for any nominations for the Committee posts be sent to Gaynor before the AGM. The Committee held a meeting last week to discuss various issues and it was agreed that the Christmas raffle last year went on for too long, considering that we are paying for an entertainer for the afternoon, so it was agreed that this year we would have a maximum of around 20 prizes, but quality gifts. Ron advised that 2 of the first prizes will be a flying lesson and a beauty voucher (donated by Jean).
