LADIES LUNCH

The July lunch was held at the Oveja Negra in Punta Prima. Jayne our president explained that it was too hot to have speakers in the summer months and it was indeed a very hot day and people had to stand by a fan to cool down. (Stop press, we may have a speaker for August!) Jayne also told us a cautionary tale about a make-up mirror that had had focused the sun onto a wardrobe which then caught fire. Check your mirrors! There were many varied raffle prizes with one in four for the number of members at the lunch and the profits do help the club and charity. Elizabeth who runs the raffle had kindly donated a Kipling handbag, and we had our usual plants, cava and wine, plus a small battery fan that was very useful. Any donations for the raffle will be gratefully received. The food was good as it always is at the Oveja Negra, but they were rather slow at serving the wine which didn´t arrive until 13:45. (Maybe that was healthier for some of us!)

Our next Lunch is at SAMOA in Cala en Porter, a new one for us. We used to have a regular venue at El Picadero, which long standing members will remember well. Terry Hazzard who owned it, assisted by Lito served a wonderful carvery and many people would order food to take home. If we were celebrating an event, a Royal Marriage, Ascot, the Queen mother’s birthday (!) or something similar he would always theme the meal appropriately. If any of you have memories do tell me at the next luncheon. Jon you can remove this in red if too long
