Newsletter February 2020<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Members,<\/p>\n

Firstly, a Happy, Healthy New year to everyone!<\/p>\n

This is my first communication of the year as your President and I look forward to a fun year enjoying some interesting wines with you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our AGM\u00a0 took place on January 16 at the Hotel Sol y Mar Calpe followed by a tasting in the Abiss Restaurant next door.<\/p>\n

Thank you to those of you who could attend the AGM, it is always an important event when we reflect on the past year, learn from our experiences and plan for this current year with the aim of producing interesting tastings in a fun environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would like to thank Paul Smithard, Sue Blewett, Mike Granville and John Sloggie who joined me in presenting their choice of wine for our tasting. A full report is now available on the website so please click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Full details of the minutes of our meeting are posted on the website and you can access these by clicking on the link here<\/a>. Those of you who could not attend I urge you to read through these, particularly the programme for this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have developed a varied programme involving more outside speakers covering a variety of subjects. Please make a note of these dates and support us by attending as many events as you can. CBWS is your society so we all have ownership of its success! The full programme can be found by clicking here<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the subjects we discussed at the AGM was how we can improve communication amongst members. We would like to set up a closed group on Facebook where members can share wine related subjects and experiences. If you would like to be part of this group please contact sandyfawle@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n
