Believe it

Yummy prizes, a bit of crack and all for free.
And why you may wonder.
For the fun of it. Broaden your horizons and challenge your wits. Leave your worries behind about your English, about the questions. Sit up and listen or sit back let others rise to the challenge.
You can think about it before you join this association.
You can pay the yearly 15 Euro fee if you think it is worth your while.

Update

There is a pub quiz (May), a jokes evening and a country walk coming up (June/July).

The results of the Story Competition should come through soon but we know that the jury enjoyed reading the stories and the prizes will be very nice. When the final decision is made the winning stories will be published on the blog.

What about a visit to the theatre?
There is a play Friday 21st and 28th Saturday 22nd and 29th in La Madrilera C/ Don Felipe 9 at 21.30h Metro Tribunal, about an English teacher's experiences in Madrid. This could be interesting .

SPRING PUB QUIZ

EndulzaTE con DANZA

Here is something interesting for all of us.

Una asociación amiga Raksaché is inviting us to the fiestas of San Isidro in Alcobendas. On the 16th May at 6 o'clock in the evening you can come to La Esfera (Avda. Olímpica, 14), in El Arroyo de la Vega and enjoy different performances by their dancers. The exotic belly dancing accompanied by a wonderful percussion player will blend very nicely with the other two activities which are:
