Dear Members,
Apologies that this is being sent on 3rd October and not the 1st. I hope you had a good summer and temporada.
There are a number of things to bring to your attention.
Firstly and most urgently, the monthly meeting will take place next Thursday 10th October at 7:30pm at:
The Flying Horse Private Room (1st floor)
52 Wilson Street
London EC2A 2ER
Many thanks to Felix for securing Alvaro Acevedo to come to London and speak to the club personally. And many thanks to my colleague Kirsty Brown who has secured the private room at the Flying Horse for us. Food and drink is on the basis of what you consume, there are no other charges for attending members (but please drink a lot, it will reduce the total of our guarantee 😊).
I will still be in Asia so can’t attend personally but it would be great if as many members as possible were able to attend since Alvaro is coming all the way from Sevilla to talk with us.
Secondly, as I mentioned a few days ago on the CTL WhatsApp group, we urgently need to find a new Secretary General for the club since Ana Marques has resigned. My colleague Kirsty Brown (who I mentioned above) is taking care of administration on a temporary basis but this needs to change as soon as possible. All suggestions are welcome and I have already had two suggestions since the WhatsApp posting, but all thoughts still welcome.
We need to get at least one candidate for Secretary General in place in order to finally have the long-awaited EGM and get the official running of the club back on track.
Despite the Secretary General issues CTL lunches have been organized at both San Miguel Sevilla (thanks Neville and Anthony) and at Otoño Madrid (thanks Andrew), the WhatsApp group is flourishing and members have been getting together in the usual way throughout the summer.
The November Anniversary lunch will be at the Oriental Club on Sunday 24th November. Details are being finalised and will be with you shortly. El Juli has agr
eed to attend in principle but we are still trying to confirm him 100% for the specific date of 24th November.
As some of you may know Joe Ortiz has been a bit unwell recently, hence the delays with La Divisa but the latest issue is on its way as I write this. As ever, we need more articles for La Divisa, particularly to make it easier to get it out on time and I urge all embers to either contribute or cajole someone else to.
Finally, the CTL Photographic competition will take place as usual this year and details are attached.
I apologise for missing you at the October meeting but look forward to seeing you at the Anniversary lunch in November if not before.
Best Regards,
Mark Rayner
